Editing Sacramento Kings (section)

====City special edition uniforms====
Nike also released a special edition 'City' uniform that pays tribute to both local culture and team heritage. Sacramento's 2017–18 'City' uniforms feature a white and powder blue base with red trim, echoing the road uniform colors the team wore from 1985 to 1990. A recolored lion head logo in red and gray is also emblazoned in front.<ref>{{cite press release|title=Sacramento Kings City Edition Uniform Salutes Franchise History, Updated for the Future With New Emblems|url=http://www.nba.com/kings/news/kings-city-uniform|publisher=NBA Media Ventures, LLC|website=Kings.com|date=December 28, 2017|access-date=December 29, 2017|archive-date=December 28, 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171228232918/http://www.nba.com/kings/news/kings-city-uniform|url-status=live}}</ref>

For the [[2018–19 Sacramento Kings season|2018–19 season]], the Kings tweaked the 'City' uniforms, replacing the lion-head logo with the wordmark "Sactown".<ref>{{cite press release|title=Sacramento Kings City Edition Uniform Salutes Sactown|url=https://www.nba.com/kings/news/sacramento-kings-city-edition-uniform-salutes-sactown|publisher=NBA Media Ventures, LLC|website=Kings.com|date=November 24, 2018|access-date=November 25, 2018|archive-date=November 24, 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20181124162922/https://www.nba.com/kings/news/sacramento-kings-city-edition-uniform-salutes-sactown|url-status=live}}</ref> The same uniform design was carried over for the [[2019–20 Sacramento Kings season|2019–20 season]], but with red as the base color and powder blue as the trim color.<ref>{{cite press release|title=Sacramento Kings Updated Nike City Edition Uniform Introduces Red As New Primary Color|url=https://www.nba.com/kings/news/sacramento-kings-updated-nike-city-edition-uniform-introduces-red-new-primary-color|publisher=NBA Media Ventures, LLC|website=Kings.com|date=November 20, 2019|access-date=November 22, 2019|archive-date=December 19, 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20191219070305/https://www.nba.com/kings/news/sacramento-kings-updated-nike-city-edition-uniform-introduces-red-new-primary-color|url-status=live}}</ref>

The "Sactown" theme was retained for the [[2020–21 Sacramento Kings season|2020–21]] "City" uniform, but with four design cues taken from prior uniforms. The black base paid homage to the 1994–2002 black uniforms. The checkerboard patterns were taken from their 1994–1997 purple/black alternate uniforms. The powder blue and red trim of the 1985–1990 road uniforms and of previous "City" uniforms were carried over to this design.<ref>{{cite press release|title=New Sacramento Kings Uniforms Created with History Behind Every Stitch|url=https://www.nba.com/kings/news/new-sacramento-kings-uniforms-created-history-behind-every-stitch|publisher=NBA Media Ventures, LLC|website=Kings.com|date=November 9, 2020|access-date=November 29, 2020|archive-date=December 3, 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201203194558/https://www.nba.com/kings/news/new-sacramento-kings-uniforms-created-history-behind-every-stitch|url-status=live}}</ref>

The [[2021–22 Sacramento Kings season|2021–22]] "City" uniform featured references of the Kings' previous uniform designs. The "Sactown" script and off-centered number arrangement paid homage to the Kings uniforms from 1971 to 1994. The black base and purple trim honored the 1994–2002 uniforms, and a modified version of the Rochester Royals' logo on the waist was a tribute to the original incarnation of the franchise.<ref>{{cite press release|title=Sacramento Kings 2021-22 Nike NBA City Edition Uniform Pays Homage to the Past|url=https://www.nba.com/kings/news/sacramento-kings-2021-22-nike-nba-city-edition-uniform-pays-homage-past|publisher=NBA Media Ventures, LLC|website=Kings.com|date=November 1, 2021|access-date=November 3, 2021|archive-date=November 4, 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211104020554/https://www.nba.com/kings/news/sacramento-kings-2021-22-nike-nba-city-edition-uniform-pays-homage-past|url-status=live}}</ref>

The [[2022–23 Sacramento Kings season|2022–23]] "City" uniform featured a gray base and purple trim, and was inspired by the team's [[Failed relocation of the Sacramento Kings|near-relocation]] in 2012 and eventual sale to [[Vivek Ranadivé]]. The gray base was taken from exterior of the team's current home, [[Golden 1 Center]].<ref>{{cite news|title=Sacramento Kings 22/23 City Edition Uniform: Sacramento Proud|url=https://www.nba.com/news/sacramento-kings-city-edition|publisher=NBA Media Ventures, LLC|website=NBA.com|date=November 10, 2022|access-date=November 15, 2022|archive-date=November 15, 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221115052256/https://www.nba.com/news/sacramento-kings-city-edition|url-status=live}}</ref>

The [[2023–24 Sacramento Kings season|2023–24]] "City" uniform was heavily inspired by the Cincinnati Royals uniforms worn in the late 1960s, featuring a vertically arranged "Kings" wordmark in a white stripe, red borders, silver sleeve stripes, and blue base. The uniform commemorated the centennial anniversary of the franchise, dating back to its early years as the Rochester Seagrams.<ref>{{cite news|title=Sacramento Kings 2023-24 Nike NBA City Edition Uniform Celebrates 100 Years of Royalty|url=https://www.nba.com/kings/news/sacramento-kings-2023-24-nike-nba-city-edition-uniform-celebrates-100-years-of-royalty|publisher=NBA Media Ventures, LLC|website=NBA.com|date=October 21, 2023|access-date=October 23, 2023|archive-date=October 23, 2023|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20231023061856/https://www.nba.com/kings/news/sacramento-kings-2023-24-nike-nba-city-edition-uniform-celebrates-100-years-of-royalty|url-status=live}}</ref> The Cincinnati theme was revisited in the [[2024–25 Sacramento Kings season|2024–25]] "City" uniform, with the "Kings" block lettering based on the team's warmup jackets in the late 1960s.<ref>{{cite news|title=Sacramento Kings 2024-25 City Edition Uniform: Royal foundation|url=https://www.nba.com/news/sacramento-kings-2024-25-city-edition-uniform|publisher=NBA Media Ventures, LLC|website=NBA.com|date=November 14, 2024|access-date=November 15, 2024}}</ref>
