History

[edit | edit source]

Idaho Stampede

[edit | edit source]

The Stampede's sole NBA affiliate was the Utah Jazz, with whom they originally had a hybrid partnership. However, on March 24, 2015, the Utah Jazz and the Idaho Stampede announced that the Jazz had purchased the Stampede, becoming the 8th NBA team to become owners of their D-League affiliate.[3]

They also had past affiliations with the Denver Nuggets, Seattle SuperSonics, Toronto Raptors and most recently the Portland Trail Blazers, with the Jazz taking sole affiliation after the 2013–2014 season.[4][5]

Salt Lake City

The first logo as the Salt Lake City Stars, used from 2016 to 2025.

The team was purchased by the Jazz on March 24, 2015, and signed a one-year lease at CenturyLink Arena.[3] Shortly after the Jazz bought the Stampede, rumors abounded about the team's relocation to Orem, Utah to be closer to the parent club; coincidentally, Orem was home to the D-League's Utah Flash from 2007 until 2011 (the team now plays in Wilmington, Delaware as the Delaware Blue Coats). These rumors were not far off, as on April 4, 2016, the Utah Jazz and the D-League announced that the Stampede would relocate to Salt Lake City for the 2016–17 season and would be renamed the Salt Lake City Stars.[6]

On October 10, 2022, it was announced that the team would move to the Maverik Center for the 2022–2023 season.[7]

In 2025, the Stars conducted a rebranding that included a new logo and new uniforms based on the original uniforms of the Utah Stars of the American Basketball Association.[8]
