Purple is so back.
To celebrate “916 Day,” the Kings on Tuesday unveiled their City Edition uniforms for the upcoming 2025-26 NBA season.
The purple-infused jerseys are a modern remix of the 2022-23 gray design that implements the Kings’ beloved victory beam.
“Sacramento” is inscribed across the chest in refreshed lettering, paired with a new palette of deep ink purple and bright violet accents — shades that never have been used in franchise history.
Along the side panels of the jersey and shorts read “Sacramento Proud” repeatedly, which per a press release from the team, is a reminder that the City Editions are more than a uniform, but also “a celebration of identity and belonging.”
Perhaps the cherry on top is the phrase, “We’re going to keep the team in Sacramento,” at the bottom right corner of the jersey in small text but with a large, powerful meaning that is a nod to a nearly decade-long community-led effort to keep the Kings in California’s capital after real threats of relocation.
The Kings will debut these new threads on Wednesday, Nov. 12, when they host the Atlanta Hawks at Golden 1 Center on their complementary court. They will wear the uniforms 10 times at home and nine times on the road.
Sacramento opens the 2025-26 regular season on the road on Oct. 22 against the Phoenix Suns at PHX Arena.
