TheLoneCougar Adrielle?!

"He knows you have to create a brand and culture that attracts and retains the right players and free agents."

This is exactly what he did at Qualtrics to take that company to the next level. It is all about culture and branding, it is kind of what he does, you know Experience Management.

Is Ryan perfect, nope. But he deserves a patient fan base, everything the guy touches turns to gold.

I'll back off if he gives BYU football more money.

Doesn't he already give them a ton?

I'm not sure how everything you say qualifies him as a designer.

Is it really the players that want to rebrand to black and white? Ryan Smith is

I agree to an extent. The Jazz note logo is one of the very best logos in all

I have no idea why he thinks black and white is a good look for the Jazz.

10/14/21 4:36pm

Every team in the NBA wears black and white now. It’s awful but certainly the

Yup, it's like the teal and purple trend in the 90's.

CougarTailDevourer

10/14/21 4:44pm

Maybe he did the same branding research as Vivint, since the arena the Jazz now

The reasons you listed are why I believe he will be a good NBA owner.

Am I the only one NOT bothered by a re-brand to black and white?

Nets, Spurs, Clippers, Steelers etc... etc...

CougarTailDevourer

10/14/21 4:39pm

Remember all the 90s logos that look so dumb now?

10/14/21 4:41pm

Meh. Those may look bad now looking back--but they were fine at the time.

I'm certain Smith is very strategic & there's most likely $$ to be made

I'm with you. I don't get the hand wringing.

So if BYU decided to change to black and white you'd surprised if

BYU’s history of 2 shades of blue isn’t the same as Jazz’ 25+ different colors

exactly.

I'll add this for a generality about branding: If the brand is bad or offensive

I don't want to be caught unprepared. I gotta work on my criticisms now in case

Northwest Cougar

10/14/21 5:59pm

I think I've missed something. What are the criticisms of him?

Belboz

10/14/21 4:54pm

People are criticizing a rebrand that hasn’t even been unveiled yet.

SlantRoute

10/14/21 4:55pm

Oh so stuff that has nothing to do with basketball.

Belboz

10/14/21 7:25pm

Yes, Ryan is a really great guy. But he's wrong about this.

Ham

But did you see those pants he was wearing last night? I don't know if I can

Doing some things right doesn't mean he's absolved of criticism for

10/14/21 5:05pm

Agreed. All I’m saying is he has earned the benefit of the doubt

SlantRoute

Not with the Jazz he hasn't. He's been there for one year.

Totally agree with you Ryan!

How long have you been his publicist?

I love the black/white theme.

CrimsonCardinal

10/14/21 7:25pm

I disagree. He would look insanely lost on the court against Jazz players.

Von Cougarschnauzer

I would be happy if he changes the name to Utah Unicorns. Do it!
