Cujo Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 The Suns either need to own the purple or do away with it completely. None of this in-between bull . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FiddySicks Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 Wait, so the suns are changing their logos to black and orange (which I actually really like), yet they're keeping the PHX logo and it's staying purple? That's the most bush league thing I've ever seen. This really doesn't get my hopes up for what the new uniform set is going to look like. Really, if the Suns were smart, they'd capitalize on the colors every other Phoenix team is wearing and change their primary colors from purple and orange to brick red and black. Black and orange are the main colors of one of the D Backs biggest rivals, and purple is worn by two other teams in the Pacific Division.

CubsFanBudMan Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 The S-sun is forced and doesn't work at all, IMO. The recolors are interesting, if only because of what they chose to recolor and what they chose not to. We've seen teams recolor and slightly modify and "avoid the fine." So why did they leave the PHX-bird as the only one with purple? Based on that small sample size of comments, it's the least-liked Suns logo, but is in the most popular colors.And lol at multiple "We're not the Giants" comments. Didn't realize that baseball rivalry was so serious out west. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Black and orange are the main colors of one of the D Backs biggest rivals, and purple is worn by two other teams in the Pacific Division.No way, the last thing the NBA needs is another team ditching a unique color scheme for a duller one (which is pretty much what they're doing now, but hey, at least it's not using another shade of red or blue!)The Suns should've just replaced gray with black, made orange their road jersey color and purple their alternate, and gone on from there. Tradition is the foundation of innovation, and not the enemy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Change the name as something related to the desert nature of Phoenix's three other teams, like prior reject names Scorpions, Thunderbirds, Wranglers, Mustangs and CougarsTheyre already flushing a great 40-year-old color scheme down the toilet; the last thing they need to pile on that is a needless name change.

I don't know why teams don't throw a few possibilities out there and let the fans have some input in a re-design. I already see this new Suns look being total garbage. However, in a previous post, someone did point out that the Suns draft t-shirt for this year is purple. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheOldRoman Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 This Suns package is a cornucopia of suck, and we haven't even seen the jerseys yet. First off, once again, unless these logos are for a :censored:ing airport, there should NOT be a PHX one. It's really, really dumb. It's also horribly dumb and shortsighted for the Suns to drop what has been their primary color for their entire 45 year existence. The S-sun logo is terrible and pointless. The beveling is bad. The Suns have looked terrible the last dozen years or so, and it's a shame that they are going way further off the tracks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
