No matter what the name has been – Veterans Memorial Coliseum, American West Arena, United Airways Center, or upcoming Talking Stick Resort Arena – the building that houses professional Phoenix basketball has been referred to as “the home of the Suns.”
The images of that home have changed, as would any that has housed multiple generations of the same family. The team logo was redesigned three times. Its basic nature was always the same, though: a streaking sun, indicating pace, flair and movement toward something more.
The Suns are one of just 12 teams to have never changed their original city or name, but their arena will feel a little more like home this season.
