The Sacramento Kings have problems. I thought Mike Bibby was the best player on their team but he just got traded to the Washington Wizards.
...from the Atlanta Hawks. Whoops.
Word came to me recently that the Kings have other problems, like the aging ARCO Arena.
With relocation a probability, it's the perfect time for a rebrand.
Now, looking back at the Kings' history we can see some pretty fantastic design but as of recent their uniforms have been tragically hideous.
In the future, we may not know where the Kings will be but I have a few ideas no matter where they end up.
Looking back to the great 70s logo of the Kings (seen above) I took that logo into 2011 by updating the ball, fixing (IMO) the crown and matching the font (Bauhaus 93) with the 60s/70s feel of the logo.
If the Kings decide to stay in The Sac they may choose to keep their current color scheme.
If they do, a simplistic faux-back design may work and instead of an all black alternate, the alternate matches the color order of the logo.
Now if the Kings decide they would prefer to play with the Ducks in The Pond, they may choose to go back to an older color scheme.
Simplistic but still better than what they wear now.
And to go even more 60s/70s feel, lets throw in some kick ass 70s striping.
But really, who knows where the Kings will be next year, odds are they stay somewhere in California so why give them the exact same color scheme as the Clippers (and because what's more Kingly than royal blue and the color of royalty)?
Mash the old and the new together and you got yourself one dandy color combo, if I do say so myself.
But my pièce de résistance comes from when you add the color scheme to the 60s/70s stripes.
Now that's one helluva uni.
And of course, here is the Kings' court (get it?).
Well, those are my ideas, tell me what you think in the comments.
