The return of the font on the white and purple jerseys is really nice but I'll pass on the side graphics for now. I'm sure it'll be something that we get used to, though, in due time. I've never really cared for the handwritten 'KINGS' script. It should stay on MLB uniforms. Also, I'm in the camp of having 'SACRAMENTO' on the road uniforms.
I wish they'd put the cursive script on the purple jersey and the blocky throwback font on the black jersey, but other than that this is the best jersey lineup we've had in awhile. The white on white home jerseys never looked good and the revised lower case Kings font just makes me think about years of hopelessness. Glad both are gone.

To preface, I love the jerseys. My only complaint is our colors for away jerseys. I really wish we did white for home games and black for away like we used to in the late 90s/early 2000s. Having black away jerseys is just so cool. I hate that purple is our away jersey and not our alternate. I like our alternate, but I hate the idea of alternates. I will be buying a home jersey if these stay pat.

i wish they would also change the font on the numbers. The older ones like the 90s, early 2000s and even the Royals throwbacks have much better number font. Some of the numbers just look so goofy in the current font. especially the number 5.....
for example, Nice looking numbers:

i'll just be glad to be rid of the terrible "kings" font the team has been using the last several years. i hate the little crown dotting the "i," and i hate the spiked portion of the "g." the "kings" font of the glory days is a nice minimal look to return to, although i wish they'd just adopt the cursive font of the black alternate jerseys as a permanent feature of the primary jerseys. it's classy-as-f***, and there's not a lot like it in the contemporary nba...

Nah i think we need to address the number font first. LOOK AT THAT 5! Look at it!

The jerseys are definitely real, saw this on another board, this is right out of the Adidas catalog for the new season

i'm fairly certain it's the same number font as before. which is indeed terrible if you notice the post i made earlier on this page regarding number font

Yeah I saw that. It looks even worse with the new/old late 90's early 2000's logo. The numbers that is. Not that big of a deal though. Also the #5, I have thought that for a long time as well.

Good point, those numbers were definitely designed to be used with this newer style Kings font:

Those look great! Another change I noticed - Along with the new font, the numbers on the home and primary away have been centered. Previously, as with the black alternate, the numbers are off to the side. I think the best change will be with the big, purple KINGS on the home uniform. Can't wait to see those

You'll see here while it's the same number font, they've reincorporated the glittery, silver border around the numbers reminiscent of the early 2000s uniform. I wish the NBA wouldnt have removed the logos on the back of the jersey, I thought the crown was a nice touch back there.Oh and they replaced the crown on the back with the NBA logo

ya the crown was better. and the gold "championship" mark looks dumb. Only the defending champs should have that in my opinion

Looks like the NBA is releasing a set us Christmas uniforms for each team. I actually really like them!
You can find the rest of the teams and a nice write up by the UniWatch guys here: http://www.uni-watch.com/2014/07/16/uni-watch-exclusive-nba-xmas-day-unis-and-a-whole-lot-more/
Edit: I guess they release uniforms like this for teams each year, but those not playing on Christmas will never wear them. Too bad. I liked the Kings uniform better than most out of those.
