Or if they did, wasn't it, like, just a trim color? They wore navy on the road with sky blue alts and basically just had purple around as a legacy color...I think it'd be entirely possible to distinguish oneself from that scheme. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That had the ugly script throwback, numerals, number on the chest above the wordmark and weird pattern and trim. The hues were also different. That's why it was poorly received *AND Shiny fabric* A combination for disaster With the new logos and wordmarks, they can pull it off much better 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The purple and white gold is a close 2nd though. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No, and from the number of them I see when I attend Kings games I'm not the only one who thought they looked like crap. 1 minute ago, AAO said: That had the ugly script throwback, numerals, number on the chest above the wordmark and weird pattern and trim.

They won't pull anything off much better. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don't view it as an issue honestly. There's like 20 teams that use red white and blue and no one has an issue with it. And those teams are alot closer in look than the gold/purple Kings are to the gold(yellow)/purple Lakers. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No one's confusing the Lakers for another team any time soon. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don't think it'll be a big deal if they go the gold route. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gary. 672 Posted April 25, 2016 I grew up hating the crown logo. I don't think I'll be liking the modern take they have leaked either. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Weezy34 2 Posted April 25, 2016 I grew up in Sacramento (and a Kings fan) and I always had an affinity with the old crown on ball logo. A large number of fans here in Sac preferred wearing the old school logo/colors over the current ones....however, there was a big "purple pride" movement the last few years among the fans with all of the relocation drama going on. My guess is they will keep the current color scheme with these new logo's but keep the powder blue jerseys for "flashback Friday" games. That would be a good mix of old and new. My hope is they scrap the "sac" and full lion logo's as there are too many secondary logo's. I'm fine with the lion head and crown logo's. I can't wait to see what the jersey's and court will look like. This franchise has screwed up alot of things the last 13 years or so but at least (in my opinion) they got the new logo right. They also got the new arena right as well. That thing is going to be awesome. side note, I actually really liked the "SK" logo they scrapped about 2 years ago. I wish they kept or modified this. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KittSmith_95 1,059 Posted April 25, 2016 Taking a good look here. The new logo is okay.. not the best logo or the worst. The lion logos are decent, but the lion head/ball is very sharp and should be the main 2ndary logo. I like Purple/Powder together... with a slight bit of silver. I've seen people try that colour scheme before hand with the Rockies, and I adored it. I just feel Powder needs to be dominant of the Road while Purple takes center stage on the Home. I really like that shameless plus Royals set... for the jerseys. I'd like to see a Kings mock-up if all possible with the logos and fonts provided. Adding a little bit of Royals history is a nice tie-in and gives us another asymmetrical jersey which is seeming to become a common thing with teams (Hawks & Hornets). I really feel this is gonna end up like the Raptors rebrand. It's gonna grow on us. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

When have the Rockies used powder blue? Or are you just referring to purple/silver or purple/black/silver? 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I meant Rockies concepts. I've seen people add in Powder as a colour for them. I want to create a jersey idea as well... I hope I can get around to it. ^~^ 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AAO 112 Posted April 25, 2016 And here's how these uniforms could play out.. I hope. I'm not sure that they'd put "SAC" on a uniform..but they need at least one uni with the home city name. Sacramento's too long, unless you condense it. Which no wordmark in their new brand is condensed. All extended. I'm expecting something conservative with minor new/different nuances 2 hours ago, AAO said: I would love to see something like this: 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
