The Jazz are considering bringing back their old music note logo "on a full-time basis," according to Ross Siler of the SALT LAKE TRIBUNE. Jazz President Randy Rigby confirmed that the team has "talked to the NBA about the possibility." Rigby: "We're looking at that. We've kept that mark so that we can look at maybe doing a redesign." The Jazz used the music note logo "from the team's founding in New Orleans in 1974 through the 1995-96 season, before switching to the current logo." The Jazz "returned to the music note as a secondary logo two years ago and are wearing green and yellow throwback jerseys from the 1979-80 season featuring the logo this season." The NBA "typically requires teams seek approval of logo changes at least two years in advance." Rigby said the Jazz are "just still looking at it." However, Jazz G Deron Williams said that he has "already seen designs of the new jerseys the Jazz could wear next season." Instead of the original "Mardi Gras colors of purple, green and yellow," the Jazz are expected to sport the updated music note logo with blue, green and gold. Rigby noted that the green and yellow throwbacks "have been well received." He added that late Jazz Owner Larry Miller was a "fan of the music note from a tradition standpoint." Williams said, "As long as we don't go back to the ones with the mountains, I'm cool, the one that Jeff Hornacek has up in the rafters" (
