Seems like they are moving towards Orange and Black being the main colours. I expect them to make black uniforms like the Los Suns ones for away games soon and phase out the purple ones eventually.

I like it, but there should always be a little purple around.

Why are they so insistent on going away from the purple? The purple's great.

There's a reason why the Minnesota Vikings have great jerseys despite the team not being that good. Part of the reason the Lakers are so attractable is because of the purple also.

Screw the blue, bring back the same purple that's been a part of this team for years.

The purple and orange are meant to be colors drawn from an Arizona sunset. I hate when people change things and disregard the symbolism.

I like blue as a colour but the purple(along with orange) is what makes our jersey a Phoenix Suns jersey

I think they do. I love our old purple. Orange and black isn't my cup of tea. Do you like the Bengals jerseys better?

I much prefer orange and black than to purple. I like the Bengals color scheme better. Not a fan of tiger print though. I also hated our purple and grey uniform set.

I remember reading somewhere that the whole "orange" thing was Bryan Colangelo's idea, apparently he thought orange was unique to the NBA and wanted to really go with it. Anyone else remember something like this?

Anyway, as long as they keep some purple I am happy. What is really funny though, as bad as we were two years ago, I loved watching our team in those throwback black jerseys. They are just so sharp and timeless and they just have purple accents:

Am I the only one who loved the purple & grey key?

I love the purple but I want it be brighter and purplier. As long as they keep the road unis purple I can live with the homes being white and orange.

I love this court.
Very airy looking and pleasant on the eye.

Some courts are horrific on the eyes like the Heat's bright intense yellow and red in the past, gave me head aches.
Magic and Celtics intense wood Pattern also hurts the eyes if you look at them long enough.

That suns one on the photo above is eye friendly and clean looking. Loved it.

I liked that court as well but have really jumped on board with the new one.

The Phoenix Suns new AZ plates coming this December.

Suns had trouble choosing between that one or this next one..
They ended up going with the top one and had to crop the logo on the left.

These people that design things for the Suns need to get fired.
1. Why have that logo?
2. No need to crop.

I swear I would do such a great job in doing stuff like that, anyways here is the other one they WERE going to use.

I think Rich Paul has made his way to the RealGM general board. viewtopic.php?f=6&t=1338429&start=145

Agreed, just responded with that on the thread.

Not Suns related in anyway, but I just heard some sad news. Robin Williams died. :cry:

How horrible.
