Prepare for orange. Lots and lots of orange.

The Phoenix Suns announced they will debut their sleeved alternate jersey Friday against the Dallas Mavericks.

The designs on the orange jersey is similar to what is on the team’s home white and road purple duds. All three looks are new for this season.

Over the summer, the Suns became the second team in the NBA to introduce a short-sleeve uniform, following the Golden State Warriors.

The Suns will wear the orange jersey during all Friday home games as part of “Orange Fridays.” The first 3,000 fans in attendance Friday will receive a P.J. Tucker orange sleeved jersey drink cooler.
