Kings Have a new Logo
- Thread starter nebs
- Start date
I think you're exactly right. I thought this meant a move from black & purple uniforms to purple & silver uniforms but as Fireplug showed earlier, this logo really pops against a black background. That's why purple & gray makes so much sense - it works equally well on home and away (which are almost certainly still purple & black) uniforms. Nice.
I don't like the current logo. It's really really busy. Too much stuff, and I am tired of purple. I would love the new one with the royal blue (posted on page 1). I always liked the older logos. Tradition.. It had been our logo for a long time because they changed it.
Not to mention, Kings never jousted.... Never got the meaning of the jousting poles in it.

Having perused the Kings online store, I'm not excited about anything there. Ironically the only piece of gear I even remotely might be interested in is the red/blue hat with the old logo on it:
I'm still not a fan of the Bart Simpson head logo, but the colors at least pop nicely on that one. The silver and purple colors look alright but they really shouldn't have put that thick white border around the logo on everything. I'm picturing it on the court, on the hat we'll give to our pick on draft day, and it just feels unfinished with that silver fading into white. Having seen the logo now in context, I think I'm going to go back and say that this is the best color option I've seen for this logo:
That bold black border with purple and white would look so much better on everything. Black and purple are the colors that took us the furthest. The slate gray feels a little like a gimmick (even if I can see why they did it for practical reasons) and would make more sense as a rarely used third accent color (like it used to be). I don't see them changing this logo for awhile -- 10 years at least. But they could probably tweak the colors year to year if they want to and probably should sometime soon.

Another Variation. Really "pops" on black
According to this link, black is still an official color: http://news.sportslogos.net/2016/04/26/sacramento-kings-officially-unveil-new-logos/
Just before noon today two young ladies got out of their car across the street, rang our door bell, and asked my wife if she had a season ticket holder at this address and, getting that confirmed, gave her a Kings tote bag containning a Kings hat, a Kings T-shirttail, and a sheet with the five logos you show above. Everything has one of the new logos on it. Colors look good. The 2016-17 Kings are on their way. Go Kings!!
