Zac Wassink of yardbarker broke the story, writing "The patch will carry the number "1,223," which represents the total number of games Utah won under Sloan during his 23 years as the team's coach. That patch debuts on July 23.
Additionally, the Jazz explained player jerseys will feature a similar "1,223" black patch during the 2020-21 campaign tentatively scheduled to begin on or around Dec. 1."
Sloan, who is of the 1000 win club, took the Jazz to back to back conference finals in the late 90s. Sloan's record with the Jazz was 1187 - 682.
Anyone who wishes to by the Patch, will be able to with proceeds going to Michael J. Fox's Parkinsons foundation. Sloan is a legend who will be forever missed by Jazz nation.
