Suns Alternate Logo

The Phoenix Suns have had a long and storied history, with many different logos over the years. The team has gone through several iterations of its logo since it first joined the NBA in 1968. From classic cartoonish designs to more modern takes on traditional imagery, each logo has its own unique story to tell about this iconic franchise.

The earliest alternate logos for the Phoenix Suns were primarily cartoon-like illustrations that featured bright oranges and yellows as well as some purple accents. These logos often included images such as cacti or suns rising from flames with wings spread wide open across them—alluding to their name “Suns”—and were used mainly for merchandise purposes during this time period of 1969–1979 before being replaced by a more modern look in 1980 when they adopted an orange basketball encircled by yellow rays that represented sunshine and energy emanating outward from it; creating what is now known today as "the sunrise" era of Suns' branding which lasted until 1992 when they switched back towards another stylized version featuring a flaming basketball set against an orange background along with two feathered arrows pointing downward either side representing both speed and direction while also paying homage to Arizona's Native American heritage at the same time; thus beginning what is currently referred to today simply as "the arrowhead" design which still remains largely unchanged up until present day despite minor alterations made here & there throughout its lifetime so far (e..g., adding black outlines around certain elements).

Finally, just recently within 2020, we've seen yet another new take on things emerge courtesy of Nike's collaboration between themselves & NBA teams called 'City Edition jerseys'; resulting in yet another fresh look consisting mostly of blue tones combined together alongside white accents all coming together into one unified whole centered around an abstracted image resembling both mountains sides & setting suns alike - symbolizing not only Arizona itself but also how even though times may change ultimately you can always count on your hometown team no matter what! All these various changes over time show us just how much thought goes into crafting meaningful symbols like these for professional sports franchises like ours here at home in our beloved city: Phoenix!
