him being from Sac and growing up in the PNW is blowing my mind. his parents are both texans so the accent makes a little more sense, but still wtf. i’ve got a slight southern accent and people wouldn’t shut up about it when I was in portland for a wedding. can’t imagine what they’d say about his voice lol
Never knew this honestly. TIL Sam Elliott is a SacTown native.
I wanted Levar Burton to narrate this.
who the fuck is sam elliot

So glad you contributed!
I get the inspiration for the jerseys, and I don’t wanna pile on the general hate for City jerseys. But the execution is piss poor here. Would rather this look be reserved for the throwbacks with the “Royals” imprint.
I don't agree, the only thing I truly don't like is the gray trim. Whoever designs the Kings jerseys loves adding gray for some reason to everything even though gray looks awful on every jersey in existence. Big gray must be paying hella for this guy
would you prefer blue or red trim?
Probably blue, it would just look natural
The gray is a nod to the stone walls of the castles of medieval Sacramento.
Sam Elliot yeuck
Why does every city edition jersey nowadays seem like "what if we made them look like a different team?"
I’m disgusted
These look like Sixers jerseys
Technically Sixers jerseys look like Royals jerseys :)
Sacramento 76ers gents
Sam Elliot intro “Sometimes there’s a team, I wouldn’t say they’re the heros because what’s a hero?But sometime there’s a team, who, well, there the team for that time and place, they fit right in there. And that’s the Kings. In Sacramento”
Great narration, great story, ass jerseys (same as all other City Edition jerseys this year).
Those jerseys are soooo bad.
I understand they're celebrating an anniversary with the throwbacks, but they could've modernized it a bit more. These things are horrendous.
It would've been so funny if they named Divac
