CLEstones Posted August 10, 2017 Share Posted August 10, 2017 Frankly, I am shocked by the affection for the new Suns uniforms. It seemingly goes against what everyone routinely rallies against: Modern, excessively-serif'ed font Similar but different letters and numbers, with contradictory & inconsistent serifs Beveled font Inconsistent design elements Burst on the shorts, with single stripe No burst on the jersey, with double stripes People are killing the Nuggets because their ONLY design flaw is a slightly difficult to read wordmark on ONE jersey... but then are loving the Suns... just because they got rid of black?

PrimalCookie Posted August 10, 2017 Share Posted August 10, 2017 Regarding the Suns, I think it's a downgrade. The previous set would've been perfect if not for the black and butt stripe (unpopular opinion?), and this, while good, doesn't top the old one.

JTrainGBR83 Posted August 10, 2017 Share Posted August 10, 2017 Suns unis look like 2K created unis. Not terrible 2K created unis, but 2K created unis nonetheless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Webfooter Posted August 10, 2017 Share Posted August 10, 2017 It's still not the greatest of uniforms but Phoenix looks better now that they're a mainly purple-and-orange team instead of the muddled purple-black-and-orange look from the past few seasons.

FinsUp1214 Posted August 10, 2017 Share Posted August 10, 2017 The Suns are okay, but could have been a lot better. They'd have been vastly improved if the wordmarks and numbers were the same color (and the wordmark not beveled). The butt stripe shouldn't be a thing, either. The Pelicans look much better with the new wordmark. That's a bigger improvement than I expected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't hate them, but I miss the sun streak. I sure hope one of the alts have the sun streaks on it or I'm rioting.

Lights Out Posted August 10, 2017 Share Posted August 10, 2017 The Suns' new look is a big upgrade. In fact, I think it's already their second-greatest look in franchise history, behind only the Barkley-era uniforms. POTD: 2/4/12 3/4/12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
habsfan1 Posted August 10, 2017 Share Posted August 10, 2017 The Suns new uniforms are a gazillion times better than their previous set. No black is a huge improvement. It's great that they kept the classic sun emblem on the shorts and didn't do anything too crazy. If done properly, you usually can't go wrong when doing a modern update of a classic throwback. They just need to get their primary/secondary logos straight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJT Posted August 10, 2017 Share Posted August 10, 2017 The numbers on the front of the Suns jersey still looks oversized to me. Not as bad as that NBA Live screen, but still, shrinking them down a size or two would even make these a lot better IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JTrainGBR83 Posted August 10, 2017 Share Posted August 10, 2017 When a team has two good colors to work with that contrast well, I personally love the numbers not having an outline or shading on the road/icon set: So I was disappointed to see the gray outline on the new set.

DustDevil61 Posted August 10, 2017 Share Posted August 10, 2017 At least the Suns have a purple road jersey. But it's another look that lost what character the previous set had. AKA @LanRovr0 on Twitter LED Sig Credits to packerfan21396 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JTrainGBR83 Posted August 10, 2017 Share Posted August 10, 2017 Could definitely just be the lighting (which raises the question: why use such unnatural lighting conditions for the reveal?) but here is a comparison between the purple on new set and the old (with possibly similar studio lighting): Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
