NBA fans aren’t taking too kindly to the latest jerseys that the Phoenix Suns plan to introduce for the upcoming 2023-2024 NBA season. As many of us might be aware, teams make slight or even significant changes to their home and away jerseys frequently. Modern ideas are given a chance to be displayed and acknowledged.
While one could argue that Phoenix Suns fans should be more open to the idea of a new jersey, the latest leaked jersey pictures have not gone down very well with them. Others should certainly want to know more about this latest jersey and why the team’s fan base doesn’t seem to approve of it. With that being said, let us take a closer look and find out more.
NBA fans display disapproval towards the latest Phoenix Suns jerseys
It turns out that fans simply don’t seem to like the design and styling of the upcoming city editions of the Phoenix Suns jerseys. This must be quite disheartening for the franchise, which has been making a lot of changes in recent times. Many fans will know that the Suns acquired former Wizards star Bradley Beal and traded away Chris Paul this offseason.
Rumor: The Suns’ city edition jerseys have reportedly been leaked.
Thoughts? 👀

Coming back to the jerseys, the Phoenix Suns seem to have brought a Spanish theme to their jerseys with the inscription “El Valle.” Although this is certainly an interesting and eye-stealing way of displaying the team’s name, some fans have joked that it could easily be edited to “eliminated” when the team ended up losing.
You just know once the Suns get eliminated they gonna have edits of the jersey saying “EL IMINATED” instead of “EL VALLE” 😭😭

Others took things further and called it one of the worst jerseys ever, “These might be the ugliest jerseys I’ve ever seen.” In conclusion, not a whole lot of fans were impressed with this jersey and made their feelings abundantly clear on social media.
These might be the ugliest jerseys I’ve ever seen 😭😭😭

While the Suns could have certainly put more effort into their jersey design, it really doesn’t matter much in the grand scheme of things. After all, the ultimate goal of the team is to win an NBA championship, The opinions of fans regarding how their uniforms look should not matter to NBA stars like Kevin Durant and Devin Booker. We wish the team the best of luck for the upcoming NBA season.
