Editing Phoenix Suns (section)

===Since 2017: Switch to Nike===
When the NBA switched to [[Nike, Inc.|Nike]] beginning with the 2017–18 season, the Suns drastically revamped their uniforms. Gone was the modernized "Streaking Sun" and the sunburst of the previous uniforms, and the Suns returned to a more simplified design. Purple also returned as a prominent color. The home-and-away designations were eliminated and in its place were the white "Association" uniform, the primary color "Icon" uniform, the secondary color "Statement" uniform and the annual "City" uniform.

The Suns' "Association" uniforms featured "Suns" in orange and the numbers in purple. The purple "Icon" uniforms featured "Phoenix" in grey and the numbers in orange. The black "Statement" uniform featured "PHX" in grey and the numbers in orange. All three uniforms have the "Streaking Sun" logo on the beltline.<ref>{{cite web|title=Suns Nike Uniforms|url=http://www.nba.com/suns/nike|publisher=NBA Media Ventures, LLC|website=Suns.com|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170814092528/http://www.nba.com/suns/nike|archive-date=August 14, 2017|access-date=January 15, 2023|url-status=dead}}</ref>

Starting with the 2019–20 season, the Suns replaced the black uniform with a new orange uniform, featuring the "Streaking Sun" logo in front, the numbers in white, and the "PHX" abbreviation on the beltline.<ref>{{cite web|title=Suns Unveil New Orange Statement Edition Uniform|url=https://www.nba.com/suns/press-release/suns-unveil-new-orange-statement-edition-uniform|publisher=NBA Media Ventures, LLC|website=Suns.com|access-date=September 27, 2019|archive-date=September 28, 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190928011244/https://www.nba.com/suns/press-release/suns-unveil-new-orange-statement-edition-uniform|url-status=live}}</ref> They wore the orange "Statement" uniform until the 2021–22 season, after which the Suns released a black "Statement" uniform with design elements inspired by the popular "City" uniforms worn in the 2020–21 and 2021–22 seasons (see below).<ref>{{cite web|title=Suns unveil new Statement uniform for 2022-23 season|url=https://www.nba.com/news/suns-release-new-2022-23-uniforms|publisher=NBA Media Ventures, LLC|website=NBA.com|access-date=September 26, 2022|archive-date=September 26, 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220926120833/https://www.nba.com/news/suns-release-new-2022-23-uniforms|url-status=live}}</ref>

In the 2023–24 season, the Suns updated their purple "Icon" and white "Association" uniforms, revisiting the 1990s "Streaking Sun" look. The set featured the "Suns" wordmark inside the "Streaking Sun" instead of above the logo unlike its 1990s predecessors. Grey accents were eliminated, and orange drop shadows on the numbers were added.<ref>{{cite press release|title=Phoenix Suns Unveil New Uniforms|url=https://www.nba.com/suns/news/phoenix-suns-unveil-new-uniforms|publisher=NBA Media Ventures, LLC|website=Suns.com|date=August 1, 2023|access-date=November 7, 2023|archive-date=November 7, 2023|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20231107042431/https://www.nba.com/suns/news/phoenix-suns-unveil-new-uniforms|url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{cite press release|title=Suns unveil new set of uniforms for 2023-24 season|url=https://www.nba.com/news/suns-unveil-new-set-of-uniforms-for-2023-24-season|publisher=NBA Media Ventures, LLC|website=NBA.com|date=August 1, 2023|access-date=November 7, 2023|archive-date=November 6, 2023|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20231106190458/https://www.nba.com/news/suns-unveil-new-set-of-uniforms-for-2023-24-season|url-status=live}}</ref>

====Los Suns special uniforms====
The Suns started wearing special "Noche Latina" uniforms in 2007 to commemorate the Latin American fanbase. The 2007 edition used the home white uniform template with the flag of Latin American countries substituting for the orange stripes. Starting in 2008, the Suns began to wear a modified version of their orange alternate uniforms with "Los Suns" in front, which they kept until 2013.<ref>{{cite news|title="Los Suns" Jerseys to Honor Noche Latina|url=http://www.nba.com/suns/news/noche_latina_2012_120305.html|publisher=NBA Media Ventures, LLC|website=Suns.com|date=March 5, 2012|access-date=February 25, 2018|archive-date=February 25, 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180225215200/http://www.nba.com/suns/news/noche_latina_2012_120305.html|url-status=live}}</ref>

During the [[2010 NBA playoffs]], the Suns wore their "Los Suns" uniforms on [[Cinco de Mayo]] for Game 2 of the Western Conference semifinals against the [[San Antonio Spurs]]. Sports reporter [[Dave Zirin]] called the "Los Suns" action an "unprecedented political statement by a sports team."<ref>{{cite news|title=Here Come Los Suns: Dave Zirin on Sports and Resistance|url=http://www.radioproject.org/2010/07/here-come-los-suns-dave-zirin-on-sports-and-resistance/|newspaper=Making Contact|date=July 27, 2010|agency=National Radio Project|access-date=August 2, 2010|archive-date=August 26, 2010|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100826055029/http://www.radioproject.org/2010/07/here-come-los-suns-dave-zirin-on-sports-and-resistance/|url-status=live}}</ref> The move was also widely reported to be a protest of an [[Arizona SB 1070|Arizona illegal-immigration law]] enacted in April.

After the 2013 rebrand, the Suns wore a black sleeved uniform with "Los Suns" in white with orange trim along with Latin-inspired accents at the back. This lasted only one season, however, as the Suns introduced a modified version of their purple uniforms in 2015, albeit with "Los Suns" in place of "Phoenix". This version lasted until 2017.<ref>{{cite news|title=Suns News: Civic Pride Uniform at The Phoenician|url=http://www.nba.com/suns/gallery/suns-news-civic-pride-uniform-phoenician|publisher=NBA Media Ventures, LLC|website=Suns.com|access-date=February 25, 2018|archive-date=February 25, 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180225215203/http://www.nba.com/suns/gallery/suns-news-civic-pride-uniform-phoenician|url-status=live}}</ref>

For 2018, Nike added a fourth uniform option, the "City" uniform. The Suns used the occasion to unveil a new version of the "Los Suns" uniform, albeit using only purple, grey and white. Unlike in previous years where the "Los Suns" uniform was worn only during the month of March, this uniform was first used during the month of January.<ref>{{cite press release|title=Phoenix Suns Reveal City Edition Uniforms|url=http://www.nba.com/suns/press-release/phoenix-suns-reveal-city-edition-uniforms#gref|publisher=NBA Media Ventures, LLC|website=Suns.com|date=December 27, 2017|access-date=October 2, 2018|archive-date=June 15, 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180615193956/https://www.nba.com/suns/press-release/phoenix-suns-reveal-city-edition-uniforms#gref|url-status=live}}</ref> For 2019, the "Los Suns" uniform added orange trim on the letters and stylized black piping while moving the front numbers to the left chest. It also featured a recolored [[Flag of Arizona|Arizona flag]] in Suns colors on the shorts and "SOMOS PHX" slogan above the uniform tag.<ref>{{cite news|title=2018–19 Phoenix Suns City Edition Uniform|url=https://www.nba.com/suns/gallery/2018-19-phoenix-suns-city-edition-uniform|publisher=NBA Media Ventures, LLC|website=Suns.com|access-date=December 14, 2019|archive-date=December 14, 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20191214114838/https://www.nba.com/suns/gallery/2018-19-phoenix-suns-city-edition-uniform|url-status=live}}</ref> The 2020 version kept the same template albeit with black as the base color and purple as the trim color.<ref>{{cite news|title=2019–20 Phoenix Suns City Edition|url=https://www.nba.com/suns/gallery/2019-20-phoenix-suns-city-edition|publisher=NBA Media Ventures, LLC|website=Suns.com|access-date=December 14, 2019|archive-date=December 14, 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20191214114837/https://www.nba.com/suns/gallery/2019-20-phoenix-suns-city-edition|url-status=live}}</ref>

====City Edition: "The Valley"====
The 2020–21 Nike NBA Suns City Edition artwork makes tribute to the Phoenix valley region. The uniform features a black base, and pixelated mountain view sunset with an inspired rainbow of yellow, orange, red and purple. The image is based on Camelback Mountain located in North Phoenix. Camelback Mountain is a geographical identifier of The Valley, which has been the nickname of the Phoenix valley for decades. The front of the uniform reads "The Valley" in custom script lettering across a sunset themed rainbow over Camelback Mountain.<ref>{{cite news|title=Suns honor 'The Valley' with City Edition uniform|url=https://www.nba.com/news/suns-honor-the-valley-with-city-edition-uniform|publisher=NBA Media Ventures, LLC|website=NBA.com|date=November 13, 2020|access-date=November 21, 2020|archive-date=November 21, 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201121034501/https://www.nba.com/news/suns-honor-the-valley-with-city-edition-uniform|url-status=live}}</ref>

Even though the NBA commemorated the league's 75th anniversary by having teams release mashup designs of previous uniforms for the 2021–22 "City" edition, the Suns elected to keep their "The Valley" uniforms for another season.<ref>{{citation|title=Suns will forego 75th Anniversary uniforms, keep City Edition in 2021-22|url=https://www.brightsideofthesun.com/2021/8/5/22610394/suns-will-forego-75th-anniversary-uniforms-keep-city-edition-in-2021-22|publisher=SB Nation|date=August 5, 2021|access-date=November 6, 2021|archive-date=November 6, 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211106130730/https://www.brightsideofthesun.com/2021/8/5/22610394/suns-will-forego-75th-anniversary-uniforms-keep-city-edition-in-2021-22|url-status=live}}</ref>

A Spanish-language edition ("El Valle") served as the "City" uniform in the 2023–24 season. The predominantly grey uniform with sunrise number gradients and purple stripes pay tribute to the city's [[Chicano]] fanbase.<ref>{{cite news|title=Phoenix Suns 2023-24 City Edition Uniform: El Valle|url=https://www.nba.com/news/phoenix-suns-2023-24-city-edition-uniform-el-valle|publisher=NBA Media Ventures, LLC|website=NBA.com|date=November 2, 2023|access-date=November 17, 2023|archive-date=November 17, 2023|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20231117031832/https://www.nba.com/news/phoenix-suns-2023-24-city-edition-uniform-el-valle|url-status=live}}</ref>

"The Valley"-themed "City" uniform returned for the 2024–25 season, incorporating the classic "Western" font the team used from 1973 to 1992, and was heavily based on the uniforms used in the [[1995 NBA All-Star Game]] held in Phoenix.<ref>{{cite news|title=Phoenix Suns 2024-25 City Edition Uniform: For 'The Valley'|url=https://www.nba.com/news/phoenix-suns-2024-25-city-edition-uniform|publisher=NBA Media Ventures, LLC|website=NBA.com|date=November 14, 2024|access-date=November 14, 2024}}</ref>

====City Edition: Salute to Native American Culture====
The Suns went with a [[Native Americans in the United States|Native American]] motif for their 2022–23 "City" uniform, featuring a turquoise base, black letters, red trim, and indigenous art designs on the striping.<ref>{{cite news|title=Phoenix Suns 22/23 City Edition Uniform: Celebration of Native American Culture|url=https://www.nba.com/news/phoenix-suns-city-edition|publisher=NBA Media Ventures, LLC|website=NBA.com|date=November 13, 2020|access-date=November 21, 2020|archive-date=November 10, 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221110183348/https://www.nba.com/news/phoenix-suns-city-edition|url-status=live}}</ref>
