They are not bad, but I feel like they could be better.

I just hope we dont wear the valley jerseys as often next season, because I think they were overused in the playoffs.

Would have preferred something that honors our local tribes?

Nobody is going to mess with current tribes considering the climate around that stuff right now. Why open your self up to that storm?

I think we wanted to keep the Valley jerseys since the court also had that same design and we may have wanted to keep it consistent. Then we go and change the name of the arena before game 5 of the Finals and of course we lose lol. I love our Valley jerseys but we have other combinations we can wear for sure. Coming to PHX for my birthday in February and going to the Bucks game. It’s gonna be nuts.

I love the look, but what do the Aztecs have to do with AZ? Why not honor the Navajos, the Hopi.... etc.?

because oh idk Arizona used to be Mexico maybe?

because Arizona has a huge Mexican-American population

this is mexican culture they’d be silly to not try and get that market even though they pretty much already have it.

These aren't going to appeal to the Latino market anymore than the Los Suns jerseys did.

I think the Suns plan to do something like this in the 2022-23 season. The linked article helps to explain their thinking on the uniforms.


BY NICHOLAS HODELL, Arizona Sports:

The Phoenix Suns gave additional insight regarding their Aztec uniform concept Thursday and revealed plans for another alternate uniform in the works for 2022-23 that would honor Native American communities indigenous to Arizona.


“… We’re excited to introduce a uniform honoring the Tribal Nations of Arizona for the 2022-23 season,” the team wrote after revealing the Aztec jersey created to honor people of Mexican heritage. “More to come.”

You should really learn to communicate without being so jerkish.

You must be registered for see images attach


Your smartazzanswer assumes that they ruled all of Mexico. Correct me if I am wrong, but the Aztec empire did not come close to that. Its dominance was actually closer to Central America.


I grew up with Mexicans and did not hear anything about pride in Aztec heritage. Perhaps they are out there though I guess.

maybe you should stop being so sensitive

is this the part where you tell me about my culture and what my people take pride in?

ever been to any of our neighborhoods? Seen any of our artwork? The images are full of Aztec culture. Ever been to Chicano park in San Diego to see the Aztec art and dances? You even know what that is?

Aztecs are part of Mexican culture and we are Mexican. How is this hard?

but again tell me about my culture

The orange uniforms have purple trim. I like the road purples too just anything but the home whites. Those are generic looking trash.

Aztec, Native American I don’t care the only thing that matters is does it look cool. Cause if it looks cool I’m buying

Nope cool stuff man.

I am pretty sure my post said nothing about your culture, which from my experience has nothing to with being rude.

I grew up in a Hispanic family and in the 70's Aztec culture was very popular in the Hispanic community. More recently it has been Mayan. Mexico City was founded by Aztecs. The symbol of the Eagle with a snake in it's mouth on a cactus, is straight out of Aztec mythology! Aztecs have a lot to do with Mexico!

Welcome to 2021!
You really cant say or do anything without hurting someone's feelings, the result is no one gets anything.
Enjoy our Sun logo.
I honestly don't care if they wear burlap sacks and nipple rings, just score more than the other team.

I actually love the Aztec unis, and I can't wait to see what they do with the follow-up local indigenous unis...
