Show your hometown pride and #slowthespread with these Sacramento-themed masks

July 30, 2020

Brandon Jetter,

With the coronavirus spiking in California, your citizenly duties (and statewide mask mandate) require you to wear a face covering. Here are some 916-themed masks that'll help you cover up—and stay safe—in capital fashion.

Sacramento Kings

The Sacramento Kings will resume their 2019-20 season in Orlando on Friday, July 31. You can show your team spirit with over a dozen branded polyester or cotton face coverings, which are available now on the Kings team both online and at the Downtown Commons store, which is reopening today (hours and days of operation: 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Thursdays through Sundays). The designs include a graffiti-style “Kings” banner emblazoned across the front, a gray camo motif featuring a roaring lion’s head and a suitably regal variation with the team's basketball logo. All proceeds from mask purchases will benefit hunger-relief organizations through the All In Challenge Foundation. $14.99 for a single mask; $19.99-$29.99 for multipacks. kingsteamstore.com

The People of Sacramento

The face masks from blog-turned-lifestyle-brand The People of Sacramento (TPOS) are jet black, triple-layer, cotton-spandex coverings that sport “916” on one side, and “Home Is Sacramento” and “For the Hometown" on the other. While shopping online or scoring yours from TPOS’s Ice Blocks storefront, you can also pick up the limited-edition “Stay Home Sacramento” T-shirt ($25-$45). For curbside pickup, email the request to thepeopleofsacramento@gmail.com or DM them on Instagram. $12. 1715 R Street. thepeopleofsacramento.com

Sacramento Republic FC

Our soon-to-be Major League Soccer squad offers a trio of glory-red face coverings, including a straightforward “Republic FC” name-check version and another featuring the club’s crest—a crimson beveled star above a California grizzly—which you can nab on the team's web store (its midtown storefront is temporarily closed). For the winter months, or in the event that fans can show up to watch brisk fall games, check out the gaiter scarf, which will cover you with the team crest from nose to collarbone. $13 for gaiter scarf; $25 for mask three-pack. shop.sacrepublicfc.com
