Okay, folks, we are just 24 hours into the petition and we are already over 225 signatures. The odds may be stacked against us, but we truly believe this can be an effective way to express our discontent with the upcoming black and yellow takeover of the Jazz.
The key to maintaining momentum will be continuing to share this petition in any way possible-- whether it be through Facebook, Twitter, Text, Email, or word of mouth. The goal is to reach 1,000 signatures in the next 48 hours, so share the petition with as many Jazz fans as you know! Those of us who love the Purple Mountain Jerseys and traditional Jazz colors are not in the minority, here is the way to show it.
As this movement gains steam, we hope to receive increased coverage on social media and local media outlets and eventually reach Ryan Smith and Dwyane Wade themselves. Though it seems like a trivial thing, the team uniforms, colors, and logos are the most visual aspect of the team, and they represent the community as a whole. They must know that we will not stand by as they reject historical precedent and a unique state identity for the colors highlighter-yellow and sharpie.
