“saxophone looks like a j,” NBA Paint said of its reworked Jazz logo. “spells jazz. not dazz. basketball is right color. sax about to hit a mean crossover. will break ankles of other logos. broken ankles = hurt. being hurt = scary.”
Alongside the illustrated logo’s unveiling, NBA Paint released hoodies, shirts, and hats featuring the unique symbol available for fans to purchase.
Since the franchise’s inception as the New Orleans Jazz in 1974, the team has had multiple primary logos, including the J-Note followed by the letters A-Z-Z. In 2022, the team underwent a rebrand with new owner Ryan Smith. The Jazz’s current primary logo is a single J-Note without any additional letters.
