The Arizona Rattlers play professional Arena Football in the AFL. The team colors are copper, teal, and black making their merchandise very popular. The Arizona Rattlers logo, is, appropriately, the letter "R" designed around head of a rattlesnake. Rattlesnakes (the real ones) are not uncommon in the Sonoran Desert, where Phoenix and Tucson are located.

The organization originally held a contest to name the AFL franchise, and "Arizona Rattlers" appeared on over 200 entries. According to the Rattlers' front office, Jan Curry-Dillingham of Phoenix received two season tickets for life as the grand prize winner.
