Today, the Sacramento Kings unveiled the 2021-22 Nike NBA City Edition uniforms. An homage to the past, the uniform celebrates a defining legacy and blends elements from some of the most significant eras that make the Kings who they are today.

“As we celebrate the 75th anniversary season of the League, we are thrilled to commemorate our contributions to the incredible story of the NBA,” said Sacramento Kings President of Business Operations John Rinehart. “These uniforms highlight important moments from our franchise’s past, showcasing the pride we take in our history and how honored we are to call Sacramento home.”

The black base on the uniform represents the strong will and determination of the city while transporting fans back to the no-look circus passes, behind-the-back dribbles, unrivaled ball movement and thunder dunks from the Greatest Show on Court in 2001. The jersey features the script wordmark that has been part of the team’s history through Rochester, Kansas City and permanent home in Sacramento. The uniform includes a fresh twist, incorporating the newer nickname for the city the team has adopted over the years – “Sactown” – displayed proudly on the chest and waistband. The waistband also features a remixed version of the Rochester Royals logo, set in purple and black.

In addition, the asymmetrical stripe is an ode to uniforms worn in the early 2000s era, featuring the current “ball lion” logo set in the 2000s color scheme. Moreover, the logo on the shorts nods to the rising teams taking the court today and ready to take on the world in the years ahead. Lastly, the uniform boasts an anthem that unifies Sacramento’s cowbell-rattling fans, who’ve been long-time supporters of this team. They’ve rallied together to keep them home, all while being “Sacramento Proud” – written in a font used from a previous Kings logo used from 1994-2016.

“With the classic black and purple base with white trim, this Nike NBA City Edition Uniform celebrates a defining legacy and blends elements from some of the greatest eras, characters and highlights that make the Kings who they are today,” says Aaron Cain, VP/GM, Men’s, at NIKE, Inc. “With “Sactown” across the chest and the Sacramento Proud anthem, it’s a uniform that doesn’t just call back to the past but looks to the future for a franchise already writing its next chapter.”

Utilizing the uniform for a historic twenty-five games during the 2021-22 season, the Kings will debut the new black and purple uniform at home when the squad takes on the Toronto Raptors on November 19 at the team’s City Edition Night presented by Dialpad.

The official Nike NBA City Edition collection, featuring assorted apparel, including youth jerseys will be available at the Team Store at DOCO and online at KingsTeamStore.com beginning November 15. Also, in collaboration with Swish Authentics, merchandise that complements the Nike NBA City Edition jersey will drop exclusively in the Team Store in late November. This line will feature a pullover hoodie, letterman’s jacket, knit pullover sweater, shorts, hat and t-shirts with the new City Edition color scheme.

Today, the Sacramento Kings unveiled the new Nike City Edition uniforms for the 2019-20 season with a refreshed look. Blending old branding and new branding, the new City Edition uniforms feature red, baby blue, white and gray. These colors have been woven through the franchise’s history and help represent the 35 years of Kings basketball in Sacramento – continuing the Proud Past, Proud Future focus. This refreshed City Edition uniform will flip to feature red as the primary color for the first time in Kings history and still don “Sactown” across the chest – the adoring nickname given to the city by Sacramentans.

The team’s new focus on red with an accent of baby blue will complement the Classic Court, which was launched in October with the start of the 2019-20 NBA season and replicates the classic royal blue scheme worn on the road by the team from 1991 to 1994. The red uniforms will be utilized for seven home games during the 2019-20 season beginning Saturday, November 30 when the team takes on the Denver Nuggets.

“The City Edition uniforms were made to represent the Proud Past and Proud Future of our Kings here in Sacramento,” said Sacramento Kings President of Business Operations John Rinehart. “With red as the primary color, they represent that passion and energy that has echoed through our arena and helps celebrate the team’s 35th year in Sactown.”

Fans will be able to purchase City Edition merchandise at the Team Store and online beginning Wednesday, November 27. New jerseys, t-shirts, hats, and gear will provide fans the opportunity to mirror the squad’s on-court look.

Today, the Sacramento Kings unveiled their new Nike City Edition uniforms for the 2018-19 season. The baby blue and red color scheme that has woven through the franchise’s history returns to the team’s identity for a refreshed look featuring “Sactown” across the chest. Merchandise will be available for sale to fans beginning Friday.

The team’s baby blue and red color scheme will transform Golden 1 Center from the court up, when the “Sactown” baby blue hardwood is utilized for select games beginning November 19. The Kings are the only NBA franchise to feature three unique courts that match uniform designs.

“Sacramento is home to a community of basketball fans that are unmatched around the NBA,” said Sacramento Kings President of Business Operations John Rinehart. “The updated City Uniforms look back at the team that forever changed Sacramento while incorporating the nickname for our city that we’ve adopted over the years -- Sactown.”

During the final season (2015-16) at Sleep Train Arena, the Kings brought back the original Baby Blues and a matching court to celebrate the franchise’s proud past, before moving to Golden 1 Center and beginning the next chapter of its proud future. Last year, the baby blues returned with updated logos that refreshed their look while adapting to the new, transformed Sacramento city.

For the 2018-19 season, the City Edition blends elements of the team’s connection to Sacramento with “Sactown” printed on the front, a tribute to the unmatched pride and loyalty of Kings fans and the importance this city plays in the franchise.  Granite striping follows the contours of the jersey outlining the retro red trim. The white accent blocking along the shoulders of the uniform, modernize the team’s retro look.

The team's logo on the shorts has been updated to the secondary lion logo which embodies the Kings legendary fan base, creating the greatest home court advantage in all of sports and this mark represents their roar.

For eight home games during the 2017-18 season, the Kings will utilize the City Edition uniforms and “Sactown” court at Golden 1 Center. New jerseys, t-shirts, hats, and gear provide fans the opportunity to mirror the squad’s on-court look.
