The Sacremento Kings' new alternative court colorway sure looks similar to House Lannister’s classic lion family crest.

Pretty uncanny, huh?

One person wondered if the team changed their name as well.

For context, here's the Lannister crest. If you flipped it, painted it black and added a basketball you basically have the new logo.

Now, one question remains: will Sacramento Kings bend the knee to Queen Cersei or Daenerys Targaryen?
