Kings changing colours

[dash]

Going back to the black, silver, and white of the Gretzky days...

Beginning this season the Los Angeles Kings will officially make the following changes as it pertains to team colors and uniforms, the team announced today:

—The Kings’ official team colors change to black, silver and white.
—The Kings’ primary home uniform switches to the black-silver-and-white uniform the club has worn as an alternate jersey the last two seasons.
—The Kings will wear a newly-created white version of this jersey for all road games this season.

Said Kings President, Business Operations Luc Robitaille: “There was an overwhelming sentiment from our fans and from our players that has led us to this change. Our fans really like the late 80s and early 90s era Kings uniforms which are very similar to this uniform. As a player, the colors give you an attitude and an edge. Dean Lombardi and I talked a lot about it with the players and they love it. We feel our fans believe in it as well.”

I liked the old Purple and Yellow ones with the crown. Didn't really care for the Gretzky era uni's.

Good for them, I always thought that the purple was ugly.

Since I'm a gangbanger, I approve.

The white ones look great. Still not sold on the home ones, but I'm sure they'll grow on me. I don't know about you, but I thought that throw-backs as the third jersey had to be older than a year. Ugh, I'm so unstylish!

Meh. I liked the purple. Purple is the color of royalty. Just another reason to dislike the Kings.

Come on Drew, just sign the contract... look, we changed our uniforms to a much more slimming color!

 

[davnlaguna]

Speaking of Doughty (a couple of tweets):

Kings say they’ve made “refined” offer to Drew Doughty that gives him different contract lengths to consider. Said they’re awaiting

a response in a day or two. Said everything has been amicable, will have better idea of where they are when Doughty’s side responds.

Very befuddling. A ton of educated hockey fans in here see the offer and go "Seriously?!?" and he doesn't sign it right away. I just don't get it - especially since it's not like he blew everyone away last year.
