PRESCOTT VALLEY, Ariz. - The Northern Arizona Suns have auctioned off their uniforms before, so this isn't their first rodeo. However, this is the first time in team history they are auctioning jerseys off online.
Due to popular demand, the NAZ Suns have opened up an online auction beginning today for their Northern Arizona Rodeo Clowns uniforms. Bidding for each player's game-worn jersey and shorts will be available through Tuesday. Each jersey has been autographed by the player who wore the jersey, as well.
The auction can be found at https://nazsuns.afrogs.org.
All proceeds from the online auction will go to the Prescott Western Heritage Foundation, a non-profit organization devoted to preserving and promoting Yavapai County's western heritage through education, events, art, music and projects.

The Northern Arizona Rodeo Clowns faced off against the Texas Legends on Western Night at the Findlay Toyota Center in Prescott Valley, Arizona, on Jan. 19. The exclusive Phoenix Suns NBA G League affiliate won the game 117-116, thanks to a game-winning basket by Retin Obasohan with 6.3 seconds left.
The Rodeo Clowns were born in a tribute to the community. The NAZ Suns changed their name, logo and jerseys for one night to celebrate what the area embodies, and to also bring something unique and fun into a game during the 2018-19 campaign.
