Kevin W. Posted June 21, 2013 Share Posted June 21, 2013 At least the league is being entirely honest about this whole sleeved jersey thing being a money-making ploy. Everyone else talks about the "technology" behind new jersey designs and how it'll help the players. The NBA? Cash money, first and foremost.

StillS Posted June 21, 2013 Share Posted June 21, 2013 -Change PHX in the flames logo to Phoenix Suns-Add Black to the logo-Pay league fees and make it primary-Design court and jerseys with Purple being used as a secondary colourThat's all you needed to do Suns.

C's Posted June 21, 2013 Share Posted June 21, 2013 Would you think the nickname 'Suns' and brick red and black would be a good combination? Here's how it would look like with the D-Backs/Coyotes scheme.Honestly... I like this a lot. I'd make the red a bit bit darker though so its more crimson. The wordmark red seems a bit darker, they should all match that. But yeah, you have the obligatory orange for a team named the Suns, plus the dark red and sand. The three of them together would be an appropriately arid color scheme for a team based in Arizona. Reminds me of the Buccaneers a little.OT, that S logo with the black sun is the dumbest thing I have ever seen. It's like if the Heat were to change their color scheme to blue, light blue, and white or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tynamo Posted June 21, 2013 Share Posted June 21, 2013 I think the only reason they kept the PHX logo was because they have it on the court. and Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Foxxtrot44 Posted June 21, 2013 Share Posted June 21, 2013 Durr. Why on Earth a team named 'Suns' never went with an orange primary, I'll never know.Well maybe it's because their logo (an orange sun) would have been lost in a sea of orange, so they picked a contrasting color to use as a base for it.And then there's this, of course I HATE THIS TIMELINE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Digby Posted June 21, 2013 Share Posted June 21, 2013 Best part of the "S" logo for me is the fact that the sun is black. Brilliant move there. Fan Style ShirtsShowcasing fan-made sports apparel by artists and designers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShawnBronald Posted June 21, 2013 Share Posted June 21, 2013 Best part of the "S" logo for me is the fact that the sun is black. Brilliant move there.Sarcasm? Obviously, the 'sunburst' should have been orange. If they're dead set on using black, fine, but the 'S' should have been black, not orange. The smartest move would have been to make the 'S' purple with the 'sunburst' orange. Robert Sarver must love the San Francisco Giants and Halloween way, way too much. Crazy, clueless millionaire!

DC in Da House w/o a Doubt Posted June 21, 2013 Share Posted June 21, 2013 That new Suns S logo may be the worst logo in the nba. It's that bad. If you stare at it for more than 10 seconds it doesn't even really look like an S (at least the one on the shirt). It's pretty terrible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Delux247 Posted June 21, 2013 Share Posted June 21, 2013 from the two NBA Store leaks, i've updated my image:A few things that bother me about that 'S-sunburst logo':- it rounds the corners from the script's S that were hard lines- it blurs the S's font from the font used in the script- it makes the sunburst appear oblong rather than circularAlthough, I do give them credit for attempting to make a simpler secondary logo. The Phoenix bird is great, but a little complex for small usage. Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LakerBandwagon1980 Posted June 21, 2013 Share Posted June 21, 2013 Why is Black making such a comeback? It seems like more and more teams are using the color. Personally, I'm not a fan. I wish the Suns would have dropped black and grey from their colors. The new logos look out of place, and forced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they really wanted fan feedback they could have presented some options to the public months ago and got reaction and maybe make changes based on that. This crap is here to stay.

hbgoo1975 Posted June 21, 2013 Share Posted June 21, 2013 I hope they don't have the uniforms that are the same as the ones they had last season. I'm not talking about the Barkley to Kidd era throwbacks though, those were cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IceCap Posted June 21, 2013 Share Posted June 21, 2013 Ok. We all need to talk about something. No amount of fan backlash in this day and age will can a planned logo/uniform switch. Yes, the 49ers' one day helmet wasn't THAT long ago, but sports branding and merchandising was still in a very different state then as it is now. Now new logos and uniforms are designed years in advance. Merchandise featuring new logos and colours has been in production long before we see the final product. There are warehouses full of new Carolina Hurricanes and Phoenix Suns merchandise, just waiting to ship. No one's cancelling any redesign this late in the game. The Buffaslug logo and uniforms are probably the best case of fan backlash killing a redesign, but that took five years. Why? The team, league, and manufacturers had to sell all of that Buffaslug gear and use all of that Buffaslug promotional material before a new redesign was attempted.
