Why Kings' purple uniforms always will be Sacramento's best jerseys

Share

Across the years, the Kings have had numerous color schemes.

In addition to their true purple and black colors, they’ve donned the old school reds and blues to embrace the 35th anniversary from when the team moved to Sacramento.

With all of those, which ones are the best? 

NBC Sports California took to Twitter, and it appeared the majority of fans liked the blue and red uniforms that were recently introduced into the team’s uniform rotation:

That’s fair, but I can’t shake picturing the Kings in anything but purple.

Chris Webber, Mike Bibby and De’Aaron Fox all share that commonality. That’s special. 

They also stand out and are different which is the attitude the Kings portray. 

Embracing the new/old blue shouldn’t be ignored, of course. It’s a big part of the Kings’ history and many basketball players, including Steve Nash, would gush over how loud it would get in the arena in the earlier years when his team would visit.

Sometimes, those days are the ones worth remembering.

The best part? There are no wrong answers. The other best part? They left out those awful gold uniforms that ESPN once compared to faux, silk fitted bed sheets. 

Yeah -- better just to stick with what you know.
