Agree about the numbers and font. Plus I don't like the circle around the number which is from the Nash era around 2008 IINM.

Think I like this one better

What do you think of these unis? A bit of a mashup of all the unis over the yrs, just in time for the 75th yr anniversary.
Math doesn't check out on that. Not even close, really.
We just hit 50 recently!

Yeah, someone posted that, and it didn't sound right, but I didn't even attempt to do the math in my head, haha. Going to be quite a few yrs for that.

Ah ha. Still an ugly uniform, IMO.

Good call. I forgot about that one.

Why can’t shorts just be shorts? Designers are going a little too ham lately.
Go Suns!

I thought the shorts were the best part.

Yeah I prefer something on the shorts. Don't like them plain.

Way too many colors on that one. So ugly. Half black half purple?

I like this one, but can we do a color other than black? Already got the valley jerseys in black

I was just thinking the same thing. I always thought the white western font jerseys were iconic, and the purple ones were nice too. Makes me wonder what they would look like in either of those colors.

I'm hoping we're going to be one of those teams that loses every preseason game but then come out like gangbusters once the season starts.

Maybe this should be in the general news, but 538 just released their predictions. Suns listed as 4th most likely team in the West to win a championship this year... 9th overall, based on their RAPTOR model. Their ELO model says we are 3rd most likely in the West, and 7th overall.

Does anyone know why Hollinger has an axe to grind with the Suns?

Doesn't seem like an axe grinding situation. Seems pretty reasonable. Lower than we want/expect, but not unlikely.

That model sounds a little biased toward one team in particular.

They change tweak their model every few years, and find a 'clever' name to use. The RAPTOR one starter either when KL was traded there, or after they won it all. I can't remember.
