SACRAMENTO — The Sacramento Kings unveiled their 2023-24 City Edition jerseys over the weekend. The uniforms are part of a celebration of the team's 100-year history.
The reveal, which also showcased a matching court, came during Saturday's Fan Fest at the Golden 1 Center. The jersey's design features a red, white and blue colorway honoring the 1968 Cincinnati Royals as well as the team's updated gray that is featured on current jerseys.
"The jersey's anthem tag pays tribute to the franchise's heritage by displaying various crown logos, a cherished secondary symbol that has been an integral part of the team's identity since the days of Rochester," the organization said in a news release. "Additionally, the shorts showcase the modern ball lion logo in legacy colors."
The City Edition jerseys will debut on November 10 during the NBA's inaugural In-Season Tournament. The court will debut when the Kings host the visiting Los Angeles Clippers at the Golden 1 Center on November 29.
The Kings also announced that the City Edition jerseys will be available for purchase online and at the team store beginning November 2.
"This season signifies the 100-year anniversary of our franchise and the team's new Nike NBA City Edition Uniform was designed to celebrate this momentous occasion," said Sacramento Kings President of Business Operations John Rinehart. "The uniform has reimagined one of the most iconic jerseys in NBA history, the 1968 Cincinnati Royals road uniform, and we are excited to share it with our fans."
