Well, what do you all think of their new concept jerseys? The jury is still out for me, but I'm more on the side of like then dislike.

Would have preferred something that honors our local tribes?


As a tribute to early ancestors of the Valley, the Phoenix Suns have been working on a uniform concept based on ancient Aztec symbolism
Basketball is unique among sports today in that it sits at the crossroads of sports and culture. Arguably, no other sport can make that claim, and no place is it more prevalent than the NBA.
Looking more specifically at the NBA uniform nothing has the same the impact when it comes to instilling pride, extending storytelling, and fortifying the relationship between a team and its fans.

Don't get me wrong, I think it's a great idea, but Aztec/AZ seems a bit of a stretch.

I love these. I love the concept and the look. The designs are complicated. Giving them greater contrast would likely overwhelm the jerseys or shorts. And this is the BEST purple I’ve seen for the team in a long time (getting away from the weird grayish purple and the blue-purple).

That said, introducing these with a black background, while “cool” visually, is stupid in terms of truly seeing what these look like as it doesn’t allow you to see the form of the jerseys/shorts very well.

Could use a little more orange.
I like them AND don't care what we wear.

it’s a nod to Mexican culture considering Arizona used to be Mexico and has a huge Mexican-American population

100% disagree. The Suns have traditionally been Purple that planet Orange stuff was ugly AF

The orange uniforms have purple trim. I like the road purples too just anything but the home whites. Those are generic looking trash.

If the star shaped basketball design on the trunks was outlined in orange I would like them much better.

I understand the Suns will use The Valley jerseys this season.


The Suns regular season starts October 20th at home against the Nuggets. See link below.




Suns preseason starts October 4th.

I think they look great, but agree that Arizona/Aztec connection is a bit thin. These would have been amazing to wear for that Mexico City trip we did a few years back.
