Phoenix Mercury Reveal 'New Originals' Uniform and Court for 30th Season The Phoenix Mercury unveiled their "New Originals" uniform and matching court design on Friday as part of the WNBA’s Court Origins program in collaboration with Nike. This third new look for the 2026 season follows a rebranding effort in November and marks the team’s celebration of its 30th season. The design draws inspiration from the franchise’s original 1997 uniform, incorporating retro elements while introducing fresh color schemes and symbolic details. The jersey features a watermelon-colored base, yellow shoulder straps, and purple trim. Across the chest, the word “Mercury” is written in white using the script the team has employed for 28 years. Below the player’s numbers, the “Fry’s” logo remains, while Hero Bread, the team’s new jersey partner, is displayed in the top-left corner. The shorts include the original yellow “M” icon and a retro WNBA logo. A patch on the back neckline features the number “3” and a silver trophy, commemorating Phoenix’s three WNBA championships. The court design revives the classic Mercury logo at center court, with the sidelines painted watermelon to mirror the jersey’s color. Each side of the court includes the names of every player in franchise history, written in the key. Ring of Honor members are highlighted in bold, and the team’s 30th season logo is positioned on the left. The uniform and court will debut on May 21 during the team’s game against the Los Angeles Sparks, marking the first time the New Originals jersey will be available for purchase. The Mercury also plan to showcase the design during 30th Season Celebration Nights throughout the season. Additionally, the team will participate in the WNBA’s Courts Origins game nights on August 1, facing the New York Liberty.#nike #wnba #phoenix_mercury #frys #hero_bread
