PHOENIX — The Phoenix Suns have announced a partnership with Paze to introduce a new jersey patch ahead of the 2026-27 season, replacing the previous PayPal patch. It's a multi-year deal according to the team's official press release.
“We had a lot of interest in our patch; it was a very competitive process,” said Phoenix Suns and Phoenix Mercury CEO Josh Bartelstein.
“Early Warning stood out because of its long history of innovation in payments, from Zelle to Paze, its deep roots in Arizona and the opportunity to build an innovative partnership that goes well beyond the jersey. Paze will have a meaningful presence across our business and with our fans and members, from ticketing and online checkout to opportunities to enhance the fan experience at our arena. It’s an honor to have a hometown partner on our jerseys.”
