As far as emasculating uniforms go, why did the new road unis adopt the same lettering for "Sacramento" as the Monarchs?
Personally, I think the Kings have changed their look way too much over the last decade or so. Remember the split color purple & black jerseys with the checkerboard pattern on the sides? Ugly.
The problem with the constant modifications is that by trying to stay hip or edgy, each re-design instantly dates itself so that another one is needed far too soon. Maybe its just me, but most of my favorite uniforms are the ones that stand the test of time with only minor changes. The Niners, the Bulls, and even though I hate them, the Yankees. Contrast that with stuff like the Nuggets unis from the early 80's, the last Rockets incarnation, or the original Tampa Bay Buccaneer's uniforms. I'm sure they all were considered trendy at the time.
