Not sold on that font. Like the white letters on the dark background a lot more than the white background.

 

[KingsFanSince85]

Not bad, but the absence of purple is a bit disheartening. That’s our primary color!

I think I’d like the KINGS font on the white jerseys better if the color of the font was royal purple. They could leave the black number and trim.

“A LOT MORE SWAGGER. A LOT LESS PURPLE.”

I’m still hoping for an alternate that’s just wild and out of left field. Make the City version Beam Theamed. I want an over the top jersey instead of the clean but slightly bland we’ve been rocking for so many years.

Love the clips these two do together.

I for one will not be terribly pleased if we do not have at least one purple uniform. It's our primary color.

Love them. Glad they went black with mostly purple secondary color. All black uniforms since the golden days( except the SacTown city unis) have had black with grey and white as the prominent secondary colors and this is way better

Love the font.

 

[ESP47]

I like them way more than anything the Kings have used since the early Webber days.

IMO this is the only time purple has been acceptable.

They’ll probably keep the purple SAC unis

I have a DMC one of those from the year they brought them back. Absolutely love that uni.

We do have the cursive Sacramento from our new secondary logo yet to be without a jersey.

I like them. I saw someone mention that they moved away from purple because it doesn’t show up well on tv, does anyone know if this is true?

Our city jerseys should incorporate the beam

the statements look like they might be 2002 throwbacks. Hard to tell because of the blur

 

[SacTownKid]

I'd say meh leading to alright. Modern NBA jerseys kind of are what they are. Very bland and simple these days.

I wouldn't know if any decisions have ever been made on that basis, but it is true that most (not all) TV cameras have trouble processing that particular color of purple and it ends up looking much closer to blue. But it's not the TV, it's the camera.

Our city jerseys should incorporate the beam

Agreed.

No need to hide your excitement for the new jersey

 

[KainLear]

Seems to me like they are more natural with this acting thing... haha

not sure if these are real or not but here’s your batcrap wild idea Light the Beam purple jerseys.

The Kings could’ve had the best selling jersey in the entire NBA if they had the words “Light the Beam” with a silhouette of the G1C….. instead, we get this monstrosity.

Why? Who is making these design decisions?

Feels to me like someone from the analytics dept did some survey and found that purple and black are the two most popular colors among Kings fans and decided to just forcefully jam the two colors together.

I have to see a physical version but currently, it's a "no" for me, dawg.

 

[itzcoatl]

It doesn’t make sense that they wouldn’t use the new typeface. I’m leaning toward fake here.

I like the new jersey’s quite a bit, but if these are in fact the statement jerseys….yuck. I get that it tries to take inspiration from all of our historical uniforms but every aspect seems slightly off.

 

[kingsboi]

how long before renovations and tinkering begins? this is why I don't purchase current NBA apparel, too many gimmicks involved, overthinking the design concepts and trying to think outside the box when simple and precise can have decades long impact but that's just my point of view

This guy is.

Beam City would be better than Cream City

 

[funkykingston]

I like the Icon and Association uniforms a lot. But the Statement uniform is. . . not good.

Just a poor mashup IMO.

The Beam Team jerseys that Wade & Williamson made for The Kings Herald are so much better.

Those statement jerseys are awesome.

Not a fan of the new white jersey looks weird
