Speaking of Jerseys i have always wanted to see an alt jersey with just SAC across the front, similar to the Hawks alt jersey that just has ATL

Sac or Sacramento??

our home jerseys already have Sacramento across the front. Apparently a lot of people didn't like it. 
 
no just the abbreviation SAC, i dont think are jerseys are bad but with the complete overhaul of the whole organization it might be time to change it up a bit
 
I actually like the jerseys we have now.... but I'm all for change!
 
400
i like this jersey
 
I think I see the angle you're trying to take.... but I appreciate your kind words nonetheless

Let's not get started on those jerseys, PLEASE! This is yet another aspect of the franchise that the Maloofs allowed to be run into the ground. From a strictly marketing standpoint, the Kings had no less than 4 separate fonts, none of which were consistent with the other to. First, you have the original logo font which was on the old 94-2002 jerseys. Then they went to the newer font on the sign in the video above. Then they have the script similar to the font on the original jerseys when they moved to Sacramento. THEN... Sacramento is the only team in the entire NBA that has their city name on their HOME jerseys. Come on! The purpose of putting the city on there is to represent the city in the away city, not at home. We know where you're from because you're the team wearing white! What happened to a home, away, and alternate uniform that all matched?

Going back to primarily black away uniforms would be HUGE for jersey sales IMO. After they ditched the black uniforms 10 years ago, I never had a desire to buy one after that. While the current script black uniforms are ok and were a lot better than the purple garbage they had, they're still not consistent with anything else from a merchandising stantpoint.

Everything after the '01-'02 season, with the exception of the alternate black "kings" in cursive font, have been almost entirely pure basura to me. Most especially those hideous gold and purple atrocities that I'm sure even the players were embarrassed to wear.
 
The "Kings" word mark used from 2003-present is the same it's just lower cased which looks horrible. I do like the word mark in the current home jerseys though.
 
No hate at all but the league set a precedence (a bad one) 5 years ago when they allowed the Sonics to leave Seattle. They pretty much showed what to and what not to do in terms of another group trying to relocate a team. The NBA turned down an unprecedented deal that Seattle group offered and pretty much went through leaps & bounds keeping the Kings which I said in a earlier post that eventually that was the right thing to do.

Not to mention Stern's continued ill will towards the city of Seattle. I say it's bad faith because at the end of the day the Kings were never going to Seattle because Stern was never going to allow that team to relocate to Seattle. Clay Bennett had a "I owe you one" to Stern for getting the Sonics to OKC in 2008, he cashed that in yesterday.
 
Sacramento was dealing with the NBA directly, Hansen was dealing with only the Maloofs. Seattle was never promised the Kings. They were just the leading city if Sacramento failed to meet the criteria for relocation, which it didn't. There was no bad faith dealing in this whole process.

Multiple sources: The sale of the Sacramento Kings between Vivek Ranadivé and the Maloofs is imminent and is currently being finalized.

Well DAMN. 

John Dickinson is a former engineer/producer for KHTK btw, I think he works in the bay now
 
I don't understand why people can't see that Grant CAN'T speak ill of the Maloof's publically. After all... he is their employee and they do sign his check. If he were to go on a vindictive spree, why would a future ownership group not think he wouldn't do the same to them? While it's frustrating most of the time, I do see some of his points that the Maloofs have donated a lot to charities in Sacramento. Personally, I don't hold much of a grudge against Joe & Gavin. I do wish, however, they would stand up to their little brother and realize there is more to business than just money. With their reputation ruined, their chances of owning another major sports franchise within the next generation are virtually zero because no commissioner would want to put up with the trouble they cause. I think they might give Loria in Miami a run for his money as worst owner for a city if they were allowed by buy a franchise.
 
I know about Loria I'm just not familiar with whether or not he's attempted to move the Marlins as many times as the Maloofs have the kings, if at all.

Why would he? He got an amazing deal from Miami that guaranteed him a profit despite playing to empty stadiums on a nightly basis. He's also taken Connie Mack's playbook and built good players into world class players so he can deal them for top dollar for mediocre players. Every time they've had a top shelf team, he's traded their best players at the trade deadline so he can maximize his investment.
