PHOTO: Kings to wear baby blue throwbacks next season
DeMarcus Cousins is going to look good in baby blue, if mock-ups from the Sacramento Kings are any indication.
The Kings announced Friday that they'll be wearing throwback uniforms from the 1985-1990 seasons on Fridays during the 2015-16 season. They'll also wear them for their final home game of the year and final home game at Sleep Train Arena on April 9.
A leaked style sheet from adidas in July killed some of the surprise, but that doesn't make the jersey any less appealing - it's a really good look:
The Kings will first wear the jersey on Oct. 30, and the Kings are surely hoping the 2015-16 season could replicate the success of the team's first year in Sacramento, when they made the 1986 playoffs.
"The 1985-86 NBA season is one of the most memorable in Kings history," president Chris Granger said. "Bringing back the 'baby blues' enables the best and loudest fans in the NBA to celebrate the memories of our storied franchise."
It's a nice nod to their first season in the city ahead of moving next summer, and there can never be too many good uniform options for fans.
