Kings revive iconic look with 2024-25 Classic Edition uniform
Former stars Doug Christie -- who is an assistant on Mike Brown's staff -- and Mike Bibby helped with the Kings' unveiling.
The Sacramento Kings unveiled their Classic Edition jerseys on Monday in celebration of their 40th year in California.
The uniform is a return to their popular purple jersey worn from 2002 to 2008, one of the more successful eras in franchise history. Sacramento had four playoff appearances and three 50-win seasons during that span.
The uniform marked the first time "Sacramento" ran across the chest. It also included the secondary "SK" logo, which was introduced in 1994, but that didn't feature on a uniform until appearing on the right side of the shorts on this design in 2002.
The Kings had former stars Doug Christie -- who is an assistant on coach Mike Brown's staff -- and Mike Bibby help with the unveiling, which came on 916 Day, a nod to Sacramento's area code. Christie and Bibby appeared in the video posted on social media doing a mock photoshoot and hooping around outside while wearing the uniform set.
"This 2024-25 Classic Edition is more than just a jersey -- it's a tribute to our city and the game we love," the Kings said in a news release. "It represents our proud history and the unforgettable moments shared on the court."
Sacramento will wear the uniform eight times at home next season. It will debut against the Brooklyn Nets on Nov. 24.
