The 1981âÂÂ82 Utah Jazz season was the team's eighth in the NBA. They began the season hoping to improve upon their 28âÂÂ54 output from the previous season. They came up three wins shy of tying it, finishing 25âÂÂ57, and failed to qualify for the playoffs for the eighth straight season. Prior to the season, the Jazz modified their uniform, changing their road jersey from purple to green, which they would keep until 1984.
