====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=2018β19 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=2019β20 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>
