Ugly Uniform of the Day


Alternate uniforms provide so much fodder for UUOTD!

Last night, the Sacramento Kings wore these gold and purple threads in New Orleans for their game against the Hornets. These give the Wizards' gold alternate uniforms a run for their money. There are three major flaws in this jersey: the obnoxious and shiny gold, the thick vertical stripes, and the number above the team name in the upper right corner of the jersey. It was bad enough when the Kings ditched the blue, white, and red for purple, but that gold mixes with that purple like oil and water. The only redeeming feature is the script "Kings" across the front.

Since the Kings were the visiting team, and they lost, there were very few pictures in cyberspace from this game. I could not find a picture of Ron Artest's number 93. That would have added an unstable number to a putrid uniform.

Owners Joe and Gavin Maloof own The Palms casino in Las Vegas, one of the hippest and coolest places in Sin City. They should be ashamed of these things. There is nothing hip or cool about these uniforms. The Kings should go back to purple road jerseys, fast.

U G L Y - Kings ain't got on alibi - dey ugly!

I think the unis are very Las Vegas and may fit right in with a chorus line on the strip somewhere. ;)

Hey, the All-Star game is in Vegas in a couple of weeks. Maybe this is a sneak preview of the uniforms for that! :-)

I agree: those uniforms are more Las Vegas than they are Sacramento.

actually it really looks like it's some arena football or NBDL league jersey
nasty

K State's are much better. There should be a ranking between 1-10 for ugly uniform of the day. It's not fair to lump them all together. This is much uglier than others. I have to go gouge my eye out

I agree. This does make me have to go gouge my eye out. There should be a scale - this is a 9.9 or two eyes gouged out out of two. ;)

That's a really bad uniform. I'd give it a 9.5.

I'm not going to gouge my eye out over it, but I hope they don't wear this thing again. Yuck!

Maybe the eye-gouge award is something worthy of the UUOTD!

This one, on second thought, deserves both eyes.
