A redesign was long overdue for the franchise. Even though it was expected, it is fitting that the Kings will have a new look to go with the new high tech arena. The new designs are simple and slick. And it appears the majority of Kings fans have responded well to them.
The new main logo is a call back to the old Sacramento Kings.

The merging of the old look with their current colors was a nice way to incorporate the history of the franchise as it goes into the (hopefully) successful future.
There are also alternative secondary logos, including a SAC, lion’s head, lion crest, and crown design.
Even ESPN’s Zach Lowe was impressed by the new designs, saying in his podcast “The Lowe Post,”
"“This is the best thing the Kings have done since trading for Chris Webber.”"
The new uniforms have not been officially revealed yet. But the Kings did give us “a peek” at them on their website.
