Phoenix Mercury reveal ‘New Originals’ uniform and court for 30th season

The Phoenix Mercury revealed their New Originals uniform and matching court Friday as part of the WNBA’s Court Origins program with Nike.

Phoenix’s third new uniform for the 2026 season comes after a rebrand in November and honors the franchise’s 30th season by taking inspiration from its original design during the inaugural 1997 season.

The jersey will feature a watermelon base, yellow shoulder straps and a purple trim. Across the chest, “Mercury” is written out in white with the script the franchise used for 28 years.

A “Fry’s” logo remains below the numbers while Hero Bread, the team’s new jersey badge partner, appears in the top left corner.

The shorts are outfitted with the original yellow “M” icon and a retro WNBA logo.

In addition, a patch on the back neckline includes the number “3” and a silver trophy to celebrate Phoenix’s three WNBA championships.

The ‘New Originals’ court design brings back the classic Mercury logo at center court, while the sidelines are to be painted watermelon. Other details include each side of the court featuring the names of every single player in franchise history written out in the key (Ring of Honor members will be bolded) with the team’s 30th season logo on the left.

Phoenix will debut the uniform and court combo on May 21 against the Los Angeles Sparks, and continue to showcase them on 30th Season Celebration Nights during the season.

May 21 is also the first time the New Originals jersey will be made available for purchase.

The Mercury are also scheduled to participate in the WNBA’s Courts Origins game nights on Aug. 1 against the New York Liberty, who revealed its retro jersey and court pairing Friday alongside Phoenix and the Los Angeles Sparks.
