Suns revamp look with new court design, black jerseys
It might feel like the Phoenix Suns are treading water in the Western Conference standings. But it's a new age for the team, too, with a new sponsor for the arena. And with that changing of the guard comes a new court design, new black uniforms, and a slight modification to one of the Suns' current jerseys.
At a news conference Tuesday afternoon, the team officially unveiled its new court and uniforms. The court ditches the "SUNS" block-letter logo and puts the old sunburst at center court -- as well as adding a touch of purple back to the mix:

As for the jerseys, the black version was modeled both digitally and in the flesh, while the team lineup indicated that only the "Ember" jerseys will have sleeves for the 2015-16 season:
