The long-rumored return of the Utah Jazz’s purple-colored mountain-themed jerseys finally was confirmed by the team Wednesday morning on social media.
The jerseys, which the Jazz originally wore between 1996-2004, will be part of the team’s uniform set for the 2019-20 season.
“I remember as a kid watching the Jazz when they wore these jerseys in the Finals. I’m excited about them,” new Jazz point guard Mike Conley said in a statement. “I think it’s great. You get so used to wearing the same two or three jerseys, and then you pull out a new one and it gets your juices flowing.
