Needs more purple. Who the hell associates black with the Southwest and the sun? Not cool.

It doesn't look terrible, but it doesn't look quite right without the purple.

This one, you mean?

Quite possibly, though as noted here on SportsLogos.net, it seems the purple hasn't quite been done away with completely.

Purple not in the logo seems odd. But a jersey change seems great for Phoenix as their current ones certainly need improvement.

Hopefully the Phx logo with the purple fire will be the most common one seen out of all of them.

one of the comments mentions "frankenstein logos". it's a shame that most teams are too lazy(?) or too scared to come up with something new. this is why I applaud Mark Cuban in refusing to just settle for some retro logos and do something more modern.

The secondary "S" logo is just garbage... :| But I really like the new primary. Wondering how the new jerseys will look like. :cheeky:

The Suns’ alternate jersey with sleeves will be part of a new venture to create a jersey that is more wearable in every-day life than a traditional tank-top jersey. ESPN.com reported that as many as five teams will be wearing alternate jerseys with sleeves next season.

Suns point guard Kendall Marshall retweeted a SLAM magazine online report about teams introducing sleeved jerseys and added his own comment: “pleeease NOT us.”

Golden State was the first team to wear sleeved jerseys in February but the jerseys, worn in three games, were unpopular for how tight they were and how they were a solid top paired with pinstriped shorts. The Suns’ sleeved jerseys have received better reviews internally.


A ringing endorsement from the players.

Here are the official wordmarks (colors are a little off):

And here, my educated guess on the look of the unis (considering their new color hierarchy, logos, wordmarks, and historical reference to the Barkley-era unis):
