I understand the Coyotes name was chosen because of the desert areas in Arizona and the southwestern area being the "ancestral home", if you will, of the American coyote.
Also the coyote is the number one animal in Arizona
The WNBA Phoenix Mercury get their name from the city Phoenix which is known for being hot. Being that they are the female counterpart to the Phoenix Suns which again is hot. Mercury being close to the Sun as in 3 planets away is hot.
Because Phoenix, Arizona is a very humid place and the sun is out 353 of the days in a years.
Phoenix is known as "the valley of the sun" ; also, in mythology, the Phoenix is the bird who rises from its ashes after flying too close to the sun
Because the color of a phoenix is like Mercury red!!
Because Phoenix's are a Mercury red color.
In 1968 they bought the Suns.
It was sunny at the time?
