Suns bring back purple border in new court design; fans approve
When the Phoenix Suns take the court during the 2016-17 campaign, they'll do so on revamped hardwood.
The team unveiled a new court design Tuesday, which features a purple border.
The purple border is back! Check out the team’s court design for the 2016-17 season.

Since 2012-13, the Suns played on a court that was predominantly orange and black, which some fans referred to as the "Halloween" theme.
Last season, Phoenix reintroduced some purple to the court in the form of lines (including free-throw and 3-point spots).
Many of their supporters seem pleased with the organization's decision to reintegrate the color to the court at Talking Stick Resort Arena.
@Suns thanks for recognizing that nobody likes black on the court and people love the purple
