While the words "The Valley" are written in white, the colours at the back are also meant to mean the Camelback Mountain, which looks over the valley. The orange, yellow and purple colours also stand for the Arizona sunset and sunrise. The jersey is black except for the colours and will have the Paypal logo in a corner. The collection is available for preorder and will available for sale from December 3.
