Why the green trim?

The last time they brought back the western font they slapped it on one of our ugliest jerseys ever.

And the Western font returns -- probably not going as far as we'd like, but it's something:

Ugh. That’s hideous. I can’t believe they are besmirching the western font with that atrocity. The stupid star and the green in the borders? YUCK.

I'll bet the players are thrilled to wear that....Why not the blazing basketball instead of star, gray instead of green?

Surprisingly, outside of here the jersey isn't getting too slammed. They are saying that it looks incomplete without the cactus from the All Star Jersey, but they also say that the shorts are pretty nice. And of course, the way they look in a picture vs how they look on a player might be a lot different. We'll have to wait and see I guess.

Also, note that there are no NUMBERS on that picture. Might be a difference when that is revealed.

Idk why we’ve had grey in our uniforms for the past 15 years…

I think they wanted to appeal to the "cooler" crowd who don't want to wear and orange or purple shirt.

The Suns have agreed to an Exhibit 10 deal with Jaden Shackelford.

Impossible for a grown man to look cool in any jersey.

Which is part of why they tried the sleeved jerseys but those failed miserably and players hated them. I always wondered why they didn't try selling sleeved variants of sorts to fans.

I will say Hockey and Football jerseys are both great casual wear as long as they aren't ridiculously oversized. I have zero issue with those.

As someone who has a collection of probably 300 or so vintage (replica, not player worn) jerseys, I can attest that it's fairly difficult to find circumstances where they feel appropriate to wear in public, other than attending games.

Hockey jerseys can be good as "sweater" type overwear in the winter if I'm just hanging out with friends. Baseball jerseys are also decent for warmer weather months in the same circumstances, although Arizona summer weather is not accommodating. I don't collect any football jerseys.

But yeah, basketball jerseys pretty much never look great as casual wear, unfortunately. Even if I still played pickup basketball, they seem like they would be silly as game wear. Which is a shame because some of them are pretty cool designs.
