The Kings unveiled their new logo Tuesday, which is a callback to the team's classic logo.
"When the Kings moved to Sacramento in 1985, the city was transformed. Today, we aim to do it again,” said owner and chairman Vivek Ranadivé. “This brand kicks off a new era for our franchise as we move into the most technologically-advanced, most environmentally-friendly arena in the world. As Sacramento becomes the next great American city, this identity honors our heritage while moving us forward.”
