New Uniforms? No black ... for now
- Thread starter VF21
- Start date
Just as an aside - I just got back from a trip to Las Vegas today and got to put my nose into the Palms for a few minutes before going to the airport this afternoon.
3 guesses on whose jerseys were for sale in the gift shop (3 Kings players)....
Artest (probably 8-10 in purple, white, and gold)
Garcia (probably 4-6 in purple)
Bibby (1 in purple)
There was also one Monarchs jersey, but I didn't notice who it was.

New uniforms?
This is obviously inconsequential given the current discussions about the draft and player movement, but does anyone know when the Kings plan on changing their uniforms?
The alternate purple and gold uniforms the team has worn the past few seasons make my eyes bleed. I'd much rather see the team return the older black and purple jerseys.

Considering the Kings did NOT wear the gold lamé even once last year, I think they're toast. And it's about time.
There's a thread from a few months ago, I believe, that actually talks about the new uniforms. I'm pretty sure we're getting them but not at all sure what they'll look like. I do remember hearing they won't be black, however, as the league controls how many teams can have uniforms of certain colors at certain times. And it's not our time...yet.
I'll see if I can find the other thread...

I like that idea. A deeper purple with silver outlined by white "Kings" or "Sacramento" lettering. Blue is one of my favorite colors, but I'd like for them to stick to the same colors they have now. That would be going back to the KC/Omaha roots if they would change the colors back to blue. Plus you'd probably have to change the logo and I think we already have a tight one. LOL at us talking about colors and uniforms. 
Let me modify that.
Imagine the lights out, black lighting and spots illuminating the arena. Out of a swirling smoke filled tunnel come our Kings wearing black & silver numbers on jerseys of Deep Purple. The arena speakers are blasting out "Smoke on the Water".
Now if we can only get the visitor's arena to do that for us when we visit in these awesome road jerseys....

Well the Kings aren't the only team getting new uniforms, I've read that the Nuggets, Timberwolves, Magic, and Hornets are also getting new home and road jerseys and that the Bucks will only get a new alternate jersey. This is all from, ESPN columnist, Paul Lukas' blog "Uni Watch". It's like right at the end of his post.

I like the name "Kings" at home and "Sacramento" on the road. It hasn't always been that way since the days of just "Kings" for both, emblazened cursive style. The Lakers are a team that uses just the one name for home and road - not sure how many other NBA franchises. I think a sinister motive could be assigned if "Sacramento" disappears for the upcoming season - especially since we're going to know before mid-season if the Kings are history in Sac as arena gets signed or falls apart.
