SALT LAKE CITY, Utah – The Utah Jazz have unveiled their long-rumored green “Earned” jersey. Along with 15 other teams that qualified for last year’s postseason, the Jazz were granted a fifth jersey in their uniform rotation.
The Jazz finished with the sixth seed in last year’s Western Conference standings before being eliminated by the Denver Nuggets in the first round of the playoffs.
The new uniform resembles the Jazz green “Earned” jersey from the 2018-19 season and the team’s current yellow “Statement” jersey already in the regular rotation. The previous green “Earned” jersey debuted on Christmas Day 2018.
It’s a 𝙫𝙞𝙗𝙚.

“The 20–21 Utah Jazz Earned Edition welcomes green back to the uniform set, this time a vibrant green in a similar manner as the classic road uniform the Jazz wore upon their arrival to Salt Lake City,” the team’s release read.
“The jersey features the enlarged J-note colored in gold and white. The side panels have a new design, evoking the shape and style of the upper portion of the J-note logo. The uniform also includes a silver Nike logo on both the shorts and the jersey, as well as a 5 for the Fight partnership patch on the jersey. The uniform will make its debut on March 12.”
In November, the Jazz unveiled the updated “City” jersey, then the fourth jersey in the team’s rotation.
Though the latest “Earned” jersey will debut on March 12, it won’t be available to fans in the team store until March 18.
