The Sacramento Kings haven't made the playoffs in a decade, and while they do have some promising, talented players on the roster to make a run at the postseason next year, the organization decided to get a fresh look overall.

The crown that many of us have grown up with is being replaced with a mix of old Kings logos that incorporate their more recent color scheme of purple and silver.

The rebranding of the franchise coincides with their move to a new downtown arena for the 2016-17 season.

Here is the breakdown of the primary logo and its alternates.

Here is some information from the Kings' official statement on the change:

The new primary emblem is inspired by the Kings classic logo. It is reimagined to reflect the civic and franchise pride that has lasted and grown for a generation. Now, with a clean, modern look – a reshaped crown, refined basketball and new typeface that puts Sacramento front and center – the new identity draws from the team's ambitious beginnings and reminds our region and the world that Sacramento is undergoing a transformation.
