Suns 5-On-5: Breaking Down The New Look

2) How do you feel about the new uniforms?

Bourguet:  The black alternates are pretty smooth, though I wish there was a little more orange or purple in there. The white numbering is all right, but filling it in and having the “PHX” lettering only be outlined is a little bit awkward. All in all though, it’s hard to go wrong with black alternates.

Schall:  Removing the sleeves from the orange jerseys was a big step in the right direction. Players hate them and I have yet to meet a fan that was particularly passionate about them. The blacks are pretty suave, but the orange and the purple on the collar don’t totally work for me.

Chasen:  I’m not a huge fan. I think they really botched the black ones in that if they had just made the letters orange, everything would have been okay. I will say this though: The Suns absolutely NAILED it by taking the sleeves off the orange jerseys. They look like entirely different jerseys (simply because of that one thing), and really, I think they’re kind of awesome now.

Taucher:  The uniforms are solid too. I like the pants with that wing-like design. Something like making the letters lined in orange would have been better. Straight black looks cool, but I prefer some color for the sake of sort of maintaining team identity and not looking generic. Still, I can certainly stand to watch the team play in them regularly. I want them to wear the old jerseys from the Steve Nash days for one game though.

Harris:  Those new uniforms were so freaking awesome. The black with the purple collar was excellent. Plus the words on the front were a bit different than the other uniforms.
