The Utah Jazz pulled an Air Jordan shirt from their team store after fans were outraged by the design.
Perhaps no other NBA franchise was left with more scars from the Michael Jordan era than the Utah Jazz. Those scars may not be fully healed for some fans, who recently led a social media revolt over Jazz team merchandise.Plenty of other teams suffered through Jordan's reign, of course. The Seattle SuperSonics nearly broke through in 1996 but came up two wins short in the NBA Finals. The Orlando Magic were denied a title during their iteration of the Shaquille O'Neal era.
Since, the Jazz have never achieved a similar level of success, and other than a run to the Western Conference Finals in 2007 they have never made it out of the second round despite fielding several solid teams.So maybe Jazz fans can be excused for being less-than-enthused by the design of this Air Jordan t-shirt, which the Jazz were selling from their team store earlier this week. An X user spotted the design and sent out a tweet that went viral with the fanbase.
