Mike Bibby and Doug Christie brought out the shorts in a video. The Kings, along with their former glories from the early 2000s, unveiled their “Classic Edition” jersey on Monday to celebrate their 40th year in California.
The uniform is a throwback to the popular purple jersey worn from 2002 to 2008, one of the most successful periods in franchise history, featuring Chris Webber, Peja Stojakovic and company…
This was the first time the name “Sacramento” appeared on the chest. It also included the secondary “SK” logo, which was introduced in 1994, but did not appear on jerseys… until it appeared on the right side of the shorts on this model in 2002.
The Kings brought in two former starters from that time: Doug Christie – who is an assistant on Mike Brown's staff – and Mike Bibby, to help with the “916 Day” ceremony, a nod to Sacramento’s area code.
” This classic 2024-25 edition is more than just a jersey, it’s a tribute to our city and the game we love. It represents our proud history and the unforgettable moments shared on the pitch. “, the Kings said in a press release. Sacramento will wear the jersey eight times at home next season.
