It’s funny, when you look at these uniforms just right, the PHOENIX actually kind of looks like it is racing across the chest as it appears to have a right-leaning italic look to it while the stripes below give the impression of the wind streaks that you see in comics representing speed.

Kind of.

There is just so little to like about this uniform overall. It’s bland but cluttered, PHOENIX looks like too long of a word to fit on a uniform, and the two layers of text and stripes look bulky and forced.

Granted it’s not as bad as the “LOS” Suns jerseys, but that’s the problem: they are literally one syllable away from the second worst uniforms the Suns have ever worn, so ridding themselves of that and replacing SUNS with PHOENIX is just not enough to redeem them.
