Kings unveil new blacked-out home court design

The Sacramento Kings have revealed the new court design they'll play on at home this season.

While the actual hardwood appears to be the same light, warm hue from last year, the only purple on the court will be in the players' uniforms. The most prominent changes are the new all-black key and perimeter border, and the addition of a massive, black lion at center court.

Here was the old court design, unveiled just over a year ago:

The unexpected all-black rebrand is reminiscent of one of the more controversial bad-boy turns of the 21st century.

Hopefully the Kings' new home gets better reviews than "Spider-Man 3."
