NBA All Star Logo 2023: Breaking Down Black, White, and Yellow Colors Set by Utah Jazz
The NBA All Star weekend is right upon us. With the weekend set to begin from 17th February 2023, we’re less than a week away from the festivities. After 30 long years, the All-Star action has returned to Salt Lake City.
On October 23, 2019, the Utah Jazz and the league announced the selection of the city as the venue for the 2023 NBA All Star Game.

A big part behind the same could have been the Jazz spent $125 Million on Vivint Arena, which was generously given to them by Miller’s. On that note, the Jazz rolled out the logo for the 2023 All-Star Game just after the 2022 All-Star weekend concluded.

The 2023 All-Star game is being held in Salt Lake City, Utah, and the team and fans couldn’t be more excited. They had hoped Donovan Mitchell and Rudy Gobert would host the event, but the past offseason changed that entire equation.
When the Jazz launched the logo right after the 2022 All-Star Game, Ryan Smith, the owner of the Jazz,
“We’re going to roll in Utah from Salt Lake to Park City. Don’t come for a couple of days, come for the whole week. Donovan and Rudy are hosting. It’s gonna be pretty sweet.”

The Jazz then put down a countdown for the upcoming event. The countdown showed the logo with the black, white, and yellow colors, which are in-line with the team’s rebranding.

Even though the two stars that the Jazz owners thought would host are no longer there, they still have representation. Lauri Markkanen has been named as an All-Star starter, after Zion Williamson has been ruled out due to injury.
What happened in the 1993 All-Star Game in Utah?
The 1993 NBA All Star Game was a big event for a lot of players. It was Michael Jordan’s last All-Star game before his first retirement. Isiah Thomas played in his last ever All-Star game. This was Shaquille O’Neal’s debut in the exhibition game.
The West beat the East 135-132.
Considering the game was held in Utah, there might have been a bias behind awarding John Stockton and Karl Malone as co-MVPs for the event.
