2. Sacramento Kings 1985-90 Away

1985 is important in the Kings franchise for a very specific reason – it is the year they relocated to Sacramento. Looking to make a statement after the move, the Kings came out with a fun yet bold baby blue jersey.

This jersey kept the same concepts of blue that the Kings had always donned but put a new twist on it. The clean red outlines fit the white wording perfectly, and the way they match so cleanly with the baby blue makes these jerseys a classic, and they take a well-deserved second spot on this list.

1. Cincinnati Royals 1967-71 Home

You can not have a list of the best Kings jerseys without mentioning the Royals. This royal blue color is the pinnacle of all Kings jerseys in the pre-purple days.

The vertical wording supported by the red stripes creates a classic jersey for the franchise. This jersey helped separate the organization’s fashion from the rest in the old days of the NBA and easily is the first great Kings/Royals jersey.
