Travel back to the 1995 NBA All-Star Game in Phoenix, where the jerseys rocked shades of purple, orange, bright teal, and black. These jerseys weren’t just about style; they were a tribute to the city’s vibe. Inspired by the Suns’ colors—purple, black, and orange—the designs also borrowed patterns from the Navajo culture, adding a cool twist to the game’s look. So, those 1995 jerseys weren’t just uniforms; they were a celebration of basketball’s connection to the vibrant tapestry of Phoenix’s culture and history. Photo by Abhay Siby Mathew.
