This week we got our first look at the new Phoenix Suns jerseys designed by Nike. The reveal was a gigantic success by today’s standards. If you avoid having to pretend like the rebrand was a joke (Los Angeles Chargers) or even act like it never happened at all (UNLV Rebels) then you can call it a win.
Phoenix Suns pillar of #TheTimeline and the number four overall pick in the 2017 NBA Draft Josh Jackson was at the rookie photo shoot in New York this week. He gave us the first look at the jersey on a real life, breathing person and not a headless figurine or video game character.
We see you, rook! @j_josh11 https://t.co/tgFw9YFbfA

If you blur your eyes you can imagine Jackson throwing down a thunderous slam over the Boston Celtics in the 2021 NBA Finals.
Second round pick Davon Reed showed off the new threads as well.
