11 years of waiting and Mr. ORNG is finally on the road watching Phoenix Suns playoff basketball games. He was in Denver as the Suns closed out the series.
Mr. ORNG, also known as Patrick Battillo, and his paint have been a staple at Phoenix Suns games for over a decade.For the past 13 seasons, there is one fan cheering on the Phoenix Suns who is hard to miss: his name is Mr. ORNG, otherwise known as Patrick Battillo, and he dons orange shoes, leggings, shirt, glasses, wig and orange paint at games.

But tonight will be Mr. ORNG’s last night with paint, according to a post on his X, formerly known as Twitter, account. Wanted to share that tonight will be my last night wearing paint as Mr. ORNG. I do not want to risk the long term impact of wearing paint. This is season 14 and I want to ensure I have many more to come!“This is season 14 and I want to ensure I have many more to come!” Battillo said in his post.
Even though he won’t be wearing his usual paint, Battillo did allude to a new look coming soon – at the Suns game on Halloween, where Phoenix will take on San Antonio at home. The city of Phoenix is home to five major professional sports league teams; The NFL's Arizona Cardinals, NBA's Phoenix Suns, WNBA’s Phoenix Mercury, MLB's Arizona Diamondbacks and NHL's Arizona Coyotes.
The Cardinals have made the State Farm Stadium in Glendale their home turf and the Footprint Center in downtown Phoenix is home to both the Suns and the Mercury. The Indoor Football League’s Arizona Rattlers also play at the Footprint. Phoenix has a soccer team with the USL's Phoenix Rising FC. The Valley hosts multiple major sporting events on a yearly basis, including college football's Fiesta Bowl and Cactus Bowl; the PGA Tour’s highest-attended event, the Waste Management Phoenix Open; NASCAR events each spring and fall; and Cactus League Spring Training.
