===Utah Jazz===
====Mardi Gras colors: 1979–1996====
When the team moved to [[Utah]] in 1979, the Jazz made slight changes to their uniforms. The home uniforms remained the same, with the word "Utah" added to the center chest logo in the 1986&ndash;87 season. In 1981, the road uniforms were changed to dark green, with the aforementioned Jazz logo on the center chest and gold numbers. For the 1984–85 season, they were changed back to purple, this time with gold numbers and white trim, along with the addition of the word 'Utah' on the logo. These uniforms were worn until the [[1995–96 NBA season|1995–96 season]]. The green jerseys were worn for St. Patrick's Day in the 1985–86 season.

====Purple mountains: 1996–2004====
For the [[1996–97 NBA season|1996–97 season]], the Jazz drastically updated their logos and uniforms, with a new color scheme of purple (slightly lighter from the previous shade), copper and turquoise. The logo, designed by former NBA creative director Tom O'Grady, was based on the 1993 All-Star Game logo. Their new uniform set featured a silhouette of the [[Wasatch Range]] on the center chest, with a stylish new Jazz script, and purple and turquoise details. On the road purple jersey, the white mountain range gradually fades to purple just above the numbers, which are white, with copper interior trim and teal outlining. On the home white jersey, the numbers are purple, with white interior trim and teal outlining. The Jazz wore these uniforms until the [[2003–04 NBA season|2003–04 season]].<ref>{{cite web|title=An NBA Team Rebrand Which Repositioned Salt Lake City from Jazz to Mountains.|url=https://sportsdesignagency.com/work/utahjazz|publisher=Sports Design Agency|access-date=January 13, 2022|archive-date=January 13, 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220113123017/https://sportsdesignagency.com/work/utahjazz|url-status=live}}</ref>

The Jazz also introduced an alternate black uniform in the [[1998–99 NBA season|1998–99 season]], with the Jazz script on the center chest, but without the Wasatch Range silhouette. On this jersey, both the Jazz script and numbers are white, with purple interior trim and copper outlining, and copper side panels. This uniform was worn until the 2003–04 season.

====Navy and powder blue: 2004–2010====
In the [[2004–05 NBA season|2004–05 season]], the Jazz once again updated their color scheme, logos and uniforms. The new color scheme, which the team used until the end of the [[2009–10 NBA season|2009–10 season]], consisted of navy blue, powder blue, silver and purple, though the latter color was only used on the primary and alternate logos. The team logo remained substantially the same, with the exception of the new color variation. The new home uniform consisted of an updated "Jazz" script on the center chest in navy blue, with navy numbers, both of which had silver interior trim and powder blue outlining. The new road uniform was navy blue, with a "Utah" script in powder blue on the center chest and powder blue numbers, both of which had silver outlining and white interior trim.

In the [[2006–07 NBA season|2006–07 season]], the Jazz introduced a new alternate powder blue uniform. This uniform, which the team wore until the end of the 2009–10 season, featured a Jazz script identical to the team logo and navy blue numbers below the script, also with silver and white trim. The nameplate on the back of the jersey was navy blue.

The team's original 'J-note' logo was revived in the [[2008&ndash;09 NBA season|2008&ndash;09 season]], but was only used on television broadcasts and in the team's then-current colors.

====Return of the 'J-note': 2010–2016====
On June 15, 2010, the Jazz unveiled a new logo and color scheme on the team's official website.<ref name="New Colors and Logo" /> For the [[2010–11 NBA season|2010–11 season]], the Jazz kept the mountain logo as the primary logo, but in a new color scheme of navy blue, gold, dark green & gray, though the latter color was dropped after the [[2015&ndash;16 NBA season|2015&ndash;16 season]]. The 'J-note' logo returned to its original green-and-gold scheme, but the navy blue was retained.<ref>{{cite web |last=Hall |first=Spencer |title=New Jazz Colors Revealed |url=http://www.saltcityhoops.com/new-jazz-colors-revealed/ |publisher=[[ESPN.com|Salt City Hoops]] |date=May 12, 2010 |access-date=January 27, 2013 |archive-date=May 18, 2012 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120518063418/http://www.saltcityhoops.com/new-jazz-colors-revealed/ |url-status=live }}</ref> The new uniform set, which was unveiled on August 16, features a design nearly identical to the team's aforementioned 1970s uniform designs, with the following differences: navy blue replacing purple on the road uniform, dark green numerals on the home white jerseys, a V-neck on both the home and road jerseys and side panels on both the home and away jerseys. The new uniforms were a combination of both the old and new styles, with navy blue retained from the most recent color scheme, but the now-famous 'J-note' logo and gold and green were revived.<ref>{{cite web|title=2010 Utah Jazz Fan Fest - Unveiling the new uniforms|url=http://www.nba.com/jazz/features/2010utahjazz_fanfest.html|publisher=NBA Media Ventures, LLC|website=UtahJazz.com|date=August 11, 2010|access-date=January 27, 2013|archive-date=November 9, 2012|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121109121603/http://www.nba.com/jazz/features/2010utahjazz_fanfest.html|url-status=live}}</ref>

The Jazz unveiled an alternate jersey on December 9, 2011, that is similar to their road jersey, but swaps the navy and green colors so that the primary color is green, with a navy stripe on the side.<ref>{{cite news|title=Utah Jazz to Debut Alternate Third Uniform|url=http://www.nba.com/jazz/news/jazz_to_debut_alternate_uniform.html|publisher=NBA Media Ventures, LLC|website=UtahJazz.com|date=December 7, 2011|access-date=June 21, 2015|archive-date=October 17, 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20151017120008/http://www.nba.com/jazz/news/jazz_to_debut_alternate_uniform.html|url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|last=Creamer|first=Chris|title=Utah Jazz Unveil New Jersey; Debuts Dec 30|url=http://news.sportslogos.net/2011/12/09/utah-jazz-unveil-new-green-jersey/|publisher=[[SportsLogos.net]]|date=December 9, 2011|access-date=June 21, 2015|archive-date=June 21, 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150621061541/http://news.sportslogos.net/2011/12/09/utah-jazz-unveil-new-green-jersey/|url-status=live}}</ref> This uniform was worn until the 2015&ndash;16 season.

====Modified look; move to Nike: 2016–2022====
On May 12, 2016, the Jazz updated their logos and uniforms. The team selected its wordmark logo as its new primary logo, with the addition of the word 'Utah' above the two Z's; because of that, the team discontinued the use of the mountain logo, which had been used since 1996. A new home court design was also unveiled. Home and road uniform modifications included the creation of a new, custom number font. To go along with the new look, two new alternate uniforms were introduced: a modified green alternate, with a "Utah" script arched in white, and a new navy sleeved alternate featuring the white 'J-note' logo on the right breast and numbers on the left breast in gold, with green, gold and white stripes below the chest.<ref>{{cite news|title=Utah Jazz Modify Look of Uniforms, Court, Logo|url=http://www.nba.com/jazz/news/utah-jazz-modify-look-uniforms-court-logo|publisher=NBA Media Ventures, LLC|website=UtahJazz.com|date=May 12, 2016|access-date=June 8, 2017|archive-date=February 13, 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210213103810/https://www.nba.com/jazz/news/utah-jazz-modify-look-uniforms-court-logo|url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|title=Refreshed Utah Jazz Brand Identity for 2016-17|url=http://www.nba.com/jazz/newlook|publisher=NBA Media Ventures, LLC|website=UtahJazz.com|date=May 12, 2016|access-date=May 12, 2016|archive-date=May 16, 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160516123450/http://www.nba.com/jazz/newlook|url-status=live}}</ref>

In 2017, as part of the switch to [[Nike, Inc.|Nike]] as the NBA's uniform provider, the Jazz made some slight changes to their uniform set. While the white "Association" and navy "Icon" uniforms remained mostly intact, the Jazz retired their green and navy sleeved alternates in favor of a gold "Statement" uniform, featuring the navy 'J-note' logo and green numbers.<ref name=JazzNike/> 

====="Red Rocks" City uniform: 2017–2022=====
The "City" uniform was inspired from the red rock formations found in Southern Utah, and it featured a gradient of gold, orange, burgundy and black.<ref name=JazzNike>{{cite web|title=2017/18 Utah Jazz Nike uniform collection|url=http://www.nba.com/jazz/nike1718|publisher=NBA Media Ventures, LLC|website=UtahJazz.com|access-date=November 25, 2017|archive-date=November 21, 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171121030817/http://www.nba.com/jazz/nike1718?|url-status=live}}</ref> After a three-season run, the Jazz replaced their original "City" uniform with a similar design, but with the gradient reversed so that it fades to black.<ref>{{cite web|title=Jazz update City Edition uniforms for 2020-21 season|url=https://www.nba.com/news/jazz-update-city-edition-uniforms-for-2020-21-season|website=NBA.com|date=November 24, 2020|access-date=November 24, 2020|archive-date=November 23, 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201123214828/https://www.nba.com/news/jazz-update-city-edition-uniforms-for-2020-21-season|url-status=live}}</ref> NBA guidelines require a new "City" uniform to be released every one to three years.

=====Earned uniforms=====
Also part of the Nike rotation is the "Earned" uniform, which is given only to teams who qualified in the [[NBA playoffs]] the previous season. The "Earned" uniform, however, is only used in select seasons, unlike the other uniforms. The 2019 version mirrored that of the "Statement" uniform except with a dark green base and lack of navy elements.<ref>{{cite web|title=2018/19 Utah Jazz Nike uniform collection|url=https://www.nba.com/jazz/nike1819|publisher=NBA Media Ventures, LLC|website=UtahJazz.com|access-date=March 13, 2021|archive-date=February 22, 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210222213829/https://www.nba.com/jazz/nike1819|url-status=live}}</ref> The 2021 version was similar but with a light Kelly green base (a nod to the early 1980s green uniforms) and different striping patterns.<ref>{{cite web|title=Nike Earned Edition Jersey: Utah Jazz|url=https://www.nba.com/news/nike-earned-edition-jersey-utah-jazz|website=NBA.com|access-date=March 13, 2021|archive-date=March 13, 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210313080834/https://www.nba.com/news/nike-earned-edition-jersey-utah-jazz|url-status=live}}</ref>

====Black and yellow 'J-note': 2022–2025====
The Jazz unveiled new uniforms before the [[2022–23 NBA season|2022–23 season]]. As part of the transition, the team brought back the classic 1996–2004 purple "mountain" uniforms as the "City" uniform, along with "Statement" black, "Icon" yellow and "Association" white uniforms. The white uniform features only the J-note logo and numbers in black, the yellow uniform has "Jazz" and numbers in black, and the black uniform has "Utah" and numbers in yellow.<ref>{{cite news|last=Kostecka|first=Ryan|title=Utah Announces "Remix" Jerseys For Upcoming Season|url=https://www.nba.com/jazz/news/utah-announces-remix-jerseys-for-upcoming-season|publisher=NBA Media Ventures, LLC|website=UtahJazz.com|date=June 17, 2022|access-date=April 30, 2023|archive-date=April 30, 2023|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230430204019/https://www.nba.com/jazz/news/utah-announces-remix-jerseys-for-upcoming-season|url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|title=Purple is back.|url=https://www.nba.com/jazz/purpleisback|publisher=NBA Media Ventures, LLC|website=UtahJazz.com|date=June 17, 2022|access-date=November 1, 2022|archive-date=November 1, 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221101051032/https://www.nba.com/jazz/purpleisback|url-status=live}}</ref>

The new black, white, and yellow "remix" uniforms and color scheme was largely received poorly by Jazz fans and media members alike.<ref>{{cite web|title=The Utah Jazz's new jerseys are awful-and clearly the team knows that|url=https://www.sltrib.com/sports/jazz/2022/06/17/andy-larsen-utah-jazzs/|publisher=Salt Lake Tribune|website=sltrib.com|date=June 17, 2022|access-date=February 6, 2024|archive-date=February 7, 2024|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240207010845/https://www.sltrib.com/sports/jazz/2022/06/17/andy-larsen-utah-jazzs/|url-status=live}}</ref>

====Modernized purple mountains: 2023–present====
Starting with the 2023–24 season, the Jazz announced in advance on social media that a "remixed" version of the "mountain" uniforms would replace the classic 1996–2004 version; this design features updated mountain gradients, an enlarged "Utah" wordmark in front, and white numbers positioned on the left chest.<ref name=JazzPurple>{{Cite tweet |author=Utah Jazz|user=utahjazz|number=1537842541474656256|title=🖤☯️ The 𝙍𝙀𝙏𝙐𝙍𝙉 & the 𝚁𝙴𝙼𝙸𝚇 ☯️🖤Purple is back and here to stay.#TakeNote}}</ref>

Between the [[2024–25 NBA season|2024–25]] and [[2025–26 NBA season|2025–26]] seasons, the Jazz would gradually phase out the black and spotlight yellow uniforms in favor of the modernized "purple mountains" uniforms. For 2024–25, the existing white "Association" and black "Statement" uniforms with yellow trim were retained, but added to the rotation is a black "Statement" uniform featuring the "J-note" in front of a gray [[Wasatch Range]] silhouette with purple and sky blue trim, and a purple "City" uniform with "Utah" in white in front of the mountain silhouette. The black and purple "Statement" uniform would debut in January of that season, replacing the black and yellow uniform. For 2025–26, the Jazz would fully adopt the "purple mountains" uniforms. The "Icon" uniform is similar to the 2023–24 "City" uniform but with the addition of black and sky blue trim, and the "Association" uniform followed the same albeit inverse template. A new "City" uniform would then debut later in the season.<ref>{{cite news|title=Utah Jazz Unveil New Uniforms and Expanded Color Palette Influenced by Mountain Basketball|url=https://www.nba.com/jazz/news/utah-jazz-unveil-new-uniforms-and-expanded-color-palette-influenced-by-mountain-basketball|publisher=NBA Media Ventures, LLC|website=UtahJazz.com|date=June 5, 2024|access-date=June 5, 2024}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|title=Jazz unveil new-look uniforms for next 2 seasons|url=https://www.nba.com/news/jazz-unveil-new-look-uniforms|publisher=NBA Media Ventures, LLC|website=NBA.com|date=June 5, 2024|access-date=June 6, 2024}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|title=Mountain Basketball|url=https://www.nba.com/jazz/mountain-basketball|publisher=NBA Media Ventures, LLC|website=UtahJazz.com|access-date=June 6, 2024}}</ref>
