nicklas Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 I don't mind this. Keep purple for the fans who want it, but for the rest use black and orange which is much easier to sell to the masses than anything with purple on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guest23 Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 Yep. Michigan State, Iowa, Dallas Mavericks, and the 49ers come to mind.Well, I certainly see another one coming with the Suns, especially since the fans already hate the owner with a passion.What was the reasoning for Coangelo selling in the first place? It seemed like the team was successful and had a strong following during his ownership. Was it just to cash out at the peak of the market? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OnWis97 Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 The "S" is brutal. The Suns continue to use that "Look, it's the same upside" thing, so this "S" just makes no sense. If the bottom "rays" looked the same as the top "rays" that would keep the symmetrical theme going. It would still be bad, but would make more sense.I am in the minority in that I actually like the current look. I am not liking the dropping of purple.

ShawnBronald 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.'Suns' alone won't be a good fit with the brick red and black scheme. 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 CougarsYou don't think the Sun is relevant to the desert? Have you been to the Arizona desert? Also, these were posted on Twitter by a fan:I think the logos, especially the "S", look so much better with some purple in them. Why couldn't the actual designers come up with something like this instead? Join the movement to bring PURPLE and ORANGE back to the Phoenix Suns! Sign the petition HERE.

bosrs1 Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 Gosh. We're going to see more sleeved jerseys. My guess every team on Christmas will be wearing them. Ugh.Are we? I thought that experiment failed miserably. I can't recall the Warriors wearing them again after that initial game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bosrs1 Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 Shame the Kings didn't have time to change logos. I wouldn't mind them dumping everything associated with the Maloof era including the current logo and jersey scheme. Maybe even revert to the pre-purple logo and scheme.

All he's doing is hounding the media and the Suns about changing the logo, and doing a bad stalkerish job. I think if we got rid of the streaks in the S and add the Sun from the top of the S and added it to the bottom of the S would be better than the logo they have now. Also if the black and beveling was gone from the Primary, that would be tons better imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sadly, the logos themselves seem to be set in stone (since they're already on shirts on NBA.com), but the colors can always be changed. Maybe if enough fans got together to voice their feelings, the team would listen. I've seen many people already sending out messages to the Suns and local media on Facebook, Twitter and local news sites via comments. Phoenix fans are great, let's see if Sarver and company listen.

It knows it must run faster than the fastest lion or it will be eaten. Every morning in Africa, a lion wakes up. It knows it must outrun the slowest gazelle or it will starve. It doesn't matter whether you're a lion or a gazelle. When the sun comes up, you'd better be running." - Unknown | Check out my articles on jerseys at Bacon Sports Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coyote Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 I'm not too happy with the updated logos. Just bring out a new identity for the suns. How many years does it take before a team can submit new uniforms/logos? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DC in Da House w/o a Doubt Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 Not great logos, but if the Suns make this (or something very similar) the full time away, with a matching white home, I'll be happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lights Out Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 I actually kind of don't mind the Suns minimizing purple, honestly. Having three purple teams in the same division was always overkill. POTD: 2/4/12 3/4/12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
