So, the League moves at light speed as well?
In such case, they were not as far ahead…

Haha. I was referring to what the owner said.

Love it.

I can’t tell if I like them or not. The triangle placement is throwing me off.

Love the idea and the purple, but do not like another black jersey.

I know, remember it well, because although I'm not a superstitious guy, after those words, I couldn't avoid thinking about the Basketball Gods and how much the Warriors' luck lasted after.

For starters, they rolled to 73 wins, but lost in the finals blowing a 3-1 lead. Of course, that same summer they signed Kevin Durant and won the next two championships, but after that, a bevy of bad luck took hold. In total, they made five consecutive Finals runs that ended in the 2019 Finals, when Kevin Durant famously returned after missing several games due to injury, looking for their third consecutive title and their fourth in five years. However, that same game, he suffered an Achilles injury. Three nights later, Klay Thompson tore his ACL, then Durant left and just three years later after the Quote, it was basically over. I know is a lot of time on terms of NBA windows, but considering the Quote, is not much more that your average window.

Lacob believed they were just smarter than the rest of the league and they would continue to accumulate titles by virtue of their inherent worthiness. Looking back, they just were lucky, specially with that salary cap spike in the precise moment they were on top of the hill. If it had happened this year, Durant would have considered at least five teams ahead of Golden State. Imagine that cap spike during the SSOL years...

Even as Sarver is the best being the worst, Lacob is another example of self-satisfaction on the team’s leadership accelerating a successful team's demise. They are currently surviving off Curry's brilliance, just like we lasted relevant until 2010 because of Nash.

Yeah, not sure where it came from... an abstract reference to Pyramids perhaps?

Mexico's national soccer team wear that concept over 20 years ago, on the '98 France's World Cup. Looks a lot better in black.

It’s got the Illuminati vibes.

Hard to see the Aztec pyramid definition. Like the concept. They made it subtle.

Only need one black jersey. And enough with the boring ass P H X. Can we just get a damn 90s sunburst jersey again?

Interesting concept, pretty terrible execution. Overlaying different 'Aztec' patterns in black and the grey PHX lettering is quite bad.

Maybe they'll look better in person as it's hard to see the true depth of color shading with just illustrations.

I like them…I do agree we don’t need a bunch of black jerseys, but I imagine this is just a 1-off jersey for this year only.

We talking about jerseys. Not a game. Not a game. We talking about jerseys.

Agree with you on that part. I'm a sucker for the old west lettering, though.

I love the jersey. It's like a mix of a Suns jersey with a band t shirt. TAKE MY MONEYYYYY

So no GLeague team and just waived our only 2-way player...Suns Twitter doesn't seem happy. I liked Ty-Shon and thought he could've been a solid player for us. Looked good in the offense in SL and was a good defender.

If this isn’t so we can make another roster move, I don’t get it.

Sarver is so fucking cheap/poor relative to other owners. If we ever win it will be in spite of him.

We're repeating all of the mistakes of 7SOL - cutting costs on the margins and skipping the draft.

Explain this to me. They cut a 2-way guy that was cheap and the last player on the roster, which is someone that they will almost have to replace with someone more expensive, but this means Sarver is cheap? The guy couldn't even start for the crappy summer league team, but we're upset by this?
