Teams around the NBA are unveiling “City Edition” uniforms ahead of the 2020-21 campaign. Some teams are doing so much to the delight of their fan bases. This includes the Phoenix Suns and the ” Valley City” threads they showcased on Thursday.
Numerous fans complimented the look.

One went so far as to suggest the Suns would go 82-0 with the inclusion of the new uniforms.

In fact, the jerseys elicited reactions from other fan bases.
One Miami Heat fan suggested the rest of the teams in the NBA are really just trying to find their “Vice City” look, which was among Miami's best-selling jerseys last season.
I love how hard everyone trying to find their Miami Vice jerseys, just stop. We 1 of 1. 💯🔥🔥🔥 @MiamiHEAT @Bam1of1 https://t.co/KTCK12sIfs

Needless to say, general fan interest is high. That is good news for the Suns, who are desperate to make a leap next season.
Phoenix went a perfect 8-0 in the seeding games during the NBA restart, narrowly missing out on a spot in the play-in for the No. 8 seed in the Western Conference. Now, the Suns appear motivated to make the necessary moves to get back to the playoffs.
The Suns have reportedly engaged Chris Paul and the Oklahoma City Thunder in discussions regarding a trade that would bring CP3 to Phoenix.
It would appear the Suns have a strong foundation, with a legitimate star in Devin Booker as well as a pair of rising stars in Deandre Ayton and Kelly Oubre Jr. Paul also played under current Suns head coach Monty Williams in New Orleans.
Phoenix is seemingly on the precipice of a big step in 2020-21, and the Suns are hoping to do it for “The Valley.”
