More Than Just a Uniform
Uniform design is a powerful extension of a team's brand — a visual expression of its identity, history, and values. The colors, logos, and aesthetic choices build lasting connections with fans, fueling pride, loyalty, and community. Each design tells a unique story, making uniforms an essential part of the overall brand experience.
Doug Remembers
For the launch of the Sacramento Kings' 2024-25 Classic Edition uniform, we aimed to evoke nostalgia by celebrating the unforgettable early-2000s Kings. Doug Christie and Mike Bibby, two iconic players from that period, helped bring the unveiling to life in a playful video that embraces the past. Set to the classic track "Welcome Back," the reveal shows Christie pulling the throwback uniform from a box in a garage, sparking memories and reuniting him with his teammate and friend, Mike Bibby. The lighthearted tone and familiar faces in the video take fans on a trip down memory lane, capturing the joy and excitement of that era while connecting it to the upcoming season. This reveal isn’t just about the uniform—it’s about celebrating the bond between the team, its players, and the fans.
For the Proud
This City Edition uniform design honors the deep bond between the team and Sacramento, marking the 10th anniversary of the fight to keep the team in the city. Celebrating this victory and the creation of the state-of-the-art arena, the uniform incorporates elements from the fan anthem, Sacramento Proud, and the arena’s architecture. With a fresh color scheme and the city’s name prominently featured, the design represents more than just the team—it embodies the spirit of Sacramento.
A Fit for a King
In celebration of the NBA’s 75th Anniversary, the 2021-22 Nike NBA City Edition uniforms serve as the ultimate basketball mixtape, showcasing each franchise’s most iconic moments. For the Kings, these designs pay tribute to the 1951 Rochester Royals, the 1985 Sacramento Kings—the year the franchise relocated to Sacramento, forever changing the city—and the unforgettable 2002 Kings, celebrating the 20th anniversary of the team's arrival and their thrilling run to the Western Conference Finals.
90’s Swagger
To celebrate 30 seasons in Sacramento, the Kings brought back a fan favorite — the iconic royal blue uniforms from the 1990s. "90’s Swagger" captured the spirit of the era with a fresh twist, blending nostalgia and style to reintroduce a classic look to a new generation of fans.
