Sacramento Kings unveil new City Jerseys

These are definitely better than a few other City jerseys we've seen.
By | 48 Comments | Nov 1, 2021

The Sacramento Kings unveiled their new City uniforms Monday morning, with this year’s look being an homage to the Kings past eras. The most notable detail is the black jersey with the 90s-era piping, which Kings fans have been begging the Kings to bring back. The chest wordmark is in a familiar script styling. The shorts have a stripe on one side, with the lion ball logo on the leg. And the waistband has a version of the Rochester Royals logo from the team’s earliest days.

Overall, I think these are really solid alternate jerseys. The waistband logo is a little funky with the very weird way “NBA” was included. And personally I would have preferred the 2002 lettering for “Sactown” instead of the script, but that’s just my personal preferences. Despite those small details, these seem to be some of the best City jerseys the Kings have had since Nike took over.

But that’s just my opinion. What do you think about these new designs? Let us know in the comments.

I fully support that the jerseys are, you know, the same color as the team’s actual colors. Red? Sky blue? To hell with that, let the black & purple represent the deep tissue bruise that is Kings fandom.

I think that new uniform should fix all of Fox’s problems so far this year.

not really a fan of this one…

I would prefer the last season one, I like the square pattern at the side of the jersey.

This one is just plain

BTW – the center court logo for these is trash!

So, I came up with a better idea and HeuristicLineup made it so:

I came up with a bomb idea and HeuristicLineup executed it perfectly:

No gold?!

These are decent, which puts them squarely at the top of any list of new jerseys we’ve gotten since Nike took over.

These city jerseys do look good but they aren’t much of a departure from the regular jerseys. Say what you will about the red ones but I was able to get my first kings Hat because they went with red that one year.

Not liking these so much.

The font is ok, if the other parts relate to it. But it comes across to me as cutting/pasting the great Golden Era uniforms parts with that cursive font….and with the lion logo.

All those elements are nice on their own, but cutting/pasting them together looks a bit off to me.

I understand their intent was to use a bit from the different eras, but they could’ve done a more interesting job mixing them together.

I like the colors. 🙂

This is me too, really. I don’t care either way anymore. Unless it’s the gold puke monstrosity’s. Those were hideous even on uniform standard levels.

Did you attach multiple gifs?

I’ve encountered the waiting situations when I used several gifs in one comment.

Also have gotten the “SLOW DOWN!” response when commenting too quickly.

They don’t need new jerseys every season.

….except to make extra cash for the teams.

But do it well, please!

I just say “Sac”.

I don’t think I’ve ever called it Sactown, other than with regards to the basketball team.

I think it’s the same with Portland and “Rip City”, no?

It’s an exceptionally low bar ….exceptionally low bar… But these are far and away the best city jerseys as mentioned in the article.

It only took them what, 5 tries, but they finally managed to design a city jersey that didn’t look like trash.

One year the punishment for losing was a pre season trip to India.

Can they use crap uniforms for motivation?

A big 15 with a circle around it on the front instead of Kings?

Dammit. Is that why Davion wears the number 15?

I hope he doesn’t change his number to 16 next season!

I actually think the best thing is the center court crest and wish that was played around with being the main element on the jersey. I think its a unique layout with a nice callback to Rochester. Thats with the exception of the Sactown font that unsuccessfully clashes. Which is just a general critique of a lot of the Kings designs. It cuts a hyper aggressive contemporary styling with its storied designs I think often haphazardly. Something that hasnt been helped by their avoidance of referencing Royals designs explicitly in alternates after the almost move to Anaheim. Something that if they got over would lead to some interesting vintage alternates.

More broadly the nickname of Sactown I find uninteresting and hard to use. I have more often referred to Sacramento as “Sacto”. I think they would be wise to explore other titles in future designs. And in city alternates being ok not using any typefaces of their standard jerseys and logo.

Do work in the arts and graphic design but just my opinions.

Sactown has been immortalized in the song California Love by 2Pac and Dr Dre.
