Phoenix Suns fans have mixed emotions about their choice of uniform for Game 5.
With an opportunity to clinch their first NBA Finals berth since 1993, the Phoenix Suns opted to wear the same black āValleyā City Edition jerseys they wore during Game 2. Perhaps theyāre hoping to channel the kind of energy that led to the famous āValley-Oopā game-winner by Deandre Ayton.
Youād think fans would have a special place in their hearts for a jersey worn during such a momentous game, but a quick look on NBA Twitter tonight reveals Suns fansā mixed emotions towards the look. One thingās for sure: itās a lot more vibrant than the Los Angeles Clippers Game 5 choice ā their white āAssociationā jersey.
Some fans love the Phoenix Suns uniforms
The āValleyā jerseys have a unique aesthetic to them with a colorful, pixelated vibe on a black background with purple trim. It doesnāt carry the same sentimental value as jerseys that have been around for decades, but itās a look many fans enjoy.
But there are some fans that hate the Phoenix Suns uniforms
While some fans canāt get enough of the Sunsā colorful uniforms, others hope the City Edition does not make an appearance in the NBA Finals, even if the Suns do. Some want to ban alternate jerseys from the NBA Playoffs entirely.
Some Phoenix fans may want to see more of the purple threads Charles Barkley wore back in the day, whereas others embrace the modern style. The one thing they agree on? They all want to see Phoenix Suns jerseys in the NBA Finals.
