Kings New Uniforms!!!!

[Tetsujin]

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.

These definitely kick the crap out of the sleeved Christmas abominations from last season.

hm, i'm not a big fan of pairing the most recent number font with the more classic logo font, but it's definitely a step in the right direction. i can't fully express just how much i hated the team name font of the last... decade? how long has it been since the kings last used their traditional logo font on the front of their jerseys?

Looks like they switched to that font in 03-04

It doesn't seem right to put the gold championship tab on our jerseys when the only franchise championship is two cities removed from the current one. But then the whole idea is silly to begin with.

That's what that stupid thing is? Geez.

definitely silly. i feel like only the defending champs should have a championship mark on their jersey. so the Spurs this year

That team can make any jersey look good

man... so it has been over a decade!! and while a great team once wore those jerseys, it's the craptastic teams and penny-pinching maloofery that followed that i most associate with those jerseys. i'll be quite glad to see "KINGS" splayed across the chest in a more classic typeface as we approach next season. hopefully it will serve as a symbolic return to a more respectable level of play. gimme at least 41 wins, please...

I made a bet with a buddy recently. I made the bold move of predicting a minimum 40 wins, hovering around .500. That may be wishful thinking, but I'm sticking with it.

 

[jcwkings]

They should do it like international soccer and put a gold star around the team crest for every title won.

 

[HereWeBoogie]

Penny pinching Maloofery he said hahahahahhahahhaahahahah. amazing phrase

 

[Dreadnought]

I hate that gold tab thing they implemented for championships. In theory, one day every team will have one of these gold tabs.

2 years ago, I bet my best buddy that the Kings were going to win a championship within the next 10 years. Hopefully it doesn't come out to be a foolish idea (I hope we at least come close so even if I lose the bet I can still keep some respect).

Yea not only does it look dumb on the jersey, but it's completely dumb for every team that has ever won to have one. it would be a lot better if they only did it for the defending champs every season

Here's Nik in the new Jersey.

Well, at the very least, the new design looks good compared to the worst jerseys in the league.

That Jersey's looking good. I did notice that the shorts display the secondary logo here, where the photos Deuce posted from the NBA meetings as our primary logo. Wonder which one we'll end up wearing this season

 

[kingsboi]

I like the new font style used for the Kings writing....looks legit.

 

[HereWeBoogie]

Definitely a huge upgrade

 

[chasen4r1]

Kings officially unvieled the uniforms online today. Those white uniforms look so nice.

[Dime Dropper]

I actually like all of those. Definite improvement on the last jerseys in my opinion.

 

[William Blake]

An improvement, but I've never been particularly fond of all those stripes going on on the sides.

 

[Larry David]

They keep scrubbing the Maloof dark years off the franchise in smart ways. They've done a very good job of that.

 

[Chicken Chaser]

Are there any changes from the previews/leaks we got weeks ago?

Well the stripes look a little better on the actual jerseys than in the initial catalog drawing so there's that.

 

[Bosnian Diehard]

I like that neither says Sacramento because I think the name is just too long to look good on a jersey (or, at least it would be hard to make it look good).

 

[KingMilz]

If the team improves as much as the jersey's could be a good season

 

[Albatros]

The jerseys would be perfect if they brought back the old number font and ditched the stripes.

(IMO)

 

[funkykingston]

I like 'em.

Now that the team is not leaving I'm okay with that too. And as shown in the photo above with Stauskas and McGary, when you have to change the font and/or font size to fit the city on the jersey it's not a good look.
