[Nivison] Jazz pull Michael Jordan ‘Jumpman’ shirts from team store after backlash from fans



>While the shirt is a generic Jordan brand design, and every NBA team has one, it went over especially poorly in Salt Lake City. The response from the fan base was so bad that the Jazz have now removed it from shelves, according to The Salt Lake Tribune.

    **Statement from Jordan Brand:**

    >We’d like to apologize to Jazz fans that were offended by our shirts. If we knew you guys had internet in Utah, we would’ve never made those shirts.

    If I was a hardcore Jazz fan I would hate the Bulls as well to be fair! They stopped your 2 best chances of winning a Championship! No Finals appearances before or after them.

    Its been literal decades… guess the Salt still flows there

    Michael Jordan finished his career by winning back to back championships against the Utah Jazz and their superstar Karl Malone. These shirts only lasted 13 days in the team store. Google “Karl Malone 13” for more details.

    Okay, but as a 30-something Bulls fan, how do I cop one?

    That’s a lot of salt…which I guess makes sense for Salt Lake. Just change the team mascot to that Morton salt lady and call it good.

    I guess they’ll have to sale those Hornacek man shirts again

    Jordan stays bodying the Jazz even after retirement

    Waiting 3 decades for the sixers to drop the kawhi shot merch

  14. throwawayjoeyboots

    I mean I get it.

    Utah fans showing some pride. Respect.

    These fans lol (maybe the worst fans in the NBA) just off of how they treat opposing players. And I’m not saying MJ is a saint notorious asshole but I wonder how many of those fans support Karl Malone and have a jersey.

  16. Greelys

    Okay maybe he pushed off just a *little* but c’mon now, it’s 2023 😆

  17. AnotsuKagehisa

    They should have a shirt with Jordan’s push off shot against Russell for fun

  19. cepxico

    Aaaaand they’ve created a collectors item. Congrats to those that got one.

    Never thought I would agree with Jazz fans..

  21. HappyHunt1778

    I know they aren’t popular in Utah, but it’s 2023 guys

    “Get that disgusting Jordan t shirt away from our Karl Malone jerseys”

  25. LifeDraining

    Would they be okay with a Bryon Russell slipping logo?

  28. maaseru

    Slap in the face lol

    It’s like Toronto making Lebron shirts that say Lebronto Raptors

  30. immortal_salami

    Hold up, I ain’t trying to stunt, man
    But these Jazz fans freaked out over Jumpman

  31. goblin_welder

    I don’t know why Jazz fans are pissed about this. I mean Christians are literally using Jesus’s torture device as an icon to their religion.

  34. JOMO_Kenyatta

    Good, these franchises should have some respect for themselves. The heat have the nerve to retire a man’s number who never even played for them.

  37. Kittens4Brunch

    But merch of the child rapist and the anti-vaxxer who claimed thousands of vaxxed athletes dropped dead are still totally cool, right?

  38. nightmanisdayman

    Imagine being that salty after all these years, poor Utah

  39. Diqt

    Another compliment for MJ. Decades later and they still can’t stomach it
