These franchises that change their logos every few years.

Like lipstick on a pig.

Bye.

Their lion logo ripped off an LA-Native OG Abel's lion:

That redesign is one lousy attempt at the look of a too-square king's crown on the top. Doesn't work visually at all.

The funny part is that the chosen design was certainly chosen from among several competing submissions. Wouldn't like to take credit for being on that selection committee.

Meh. Not good. Not bad. Too generic. Like Dollartree toilet paper.

I like the old design more, it brings back good memories.

Constant alterations to jerseys, colors and logos a clear indication that your organization sucks donkey scrot.

Every 5 years it's like "Grand Reopening" at the local $1 store.

I don't get what the deal is with these ugly clip-art looking logos. It started with the Nets, then the Raptors, then the Clippers, and now the Kings. I mean, have some creativity for gods sake!

The only team to actually do re-branding right in the last couple years was the Bucks.

first wondered why they tilted the city skyline...

then wondered why they didn't use the real skyline...

....

then i saw they just didn't want to fill in the crown..

...reminds me of lorena bobbitt now also..

now i'm wondering if "ball crown" or "crowning the ball" are in urban dictionary

Blatant rip-off. Why are the Kings even using a lion in their logo anyway?

Don't we have a post in the first asking for a jersey change?

Our last major jersey change was in 1999-2000. It's been 16+ years not 5 lol

Yes but that's different than what the Kings have done here or from what the other thread is about.

Here the Kings have designed all new logos, jerseys, etc.

That thread is about new jersey styles, not new logos, similar the new jersey style we got when we transitioned to Staples center in 1999-2000.

The Hollywood Nights jersey (sleeved or unsleeved) is simply an alternate jersey. It's not a logo re-branding and it's not a new line of jerseys
