Kings Set Third Unveiling, Sked
4 Comments
Tonight the Los Angeles Kings officially announced their intentions to unveil their new third jersey via their official web site. They also released a schedule indicating when this new sweater would be worn.
They will unveil the alternate sweaters on November 22 when they take the ice against the Colorado Avalanche.
The Kings will wear their regular Crown/black home jerseys for pre-game warm-ups and change into the new sweaters before hitting the ice prior to the drop of the puck.
“I know our fans are anxiously awaiting this jersey and we are excited to unveil it,” said Kings President, Business Operations Luc Robitaille. “Everyone will want to get to that game early.”
The jersey is described as featuring "a modern look while echoing the history of the franchise." It will be worn for 12 home contests.
This image, showing the complete collection of past Kings sweaters, was included with the announcement.
I'll have pictures of the new sweater when they become available.

That's interesting, the fact that they will wear their normal jerseys before the game and switch for the game..
Hey, I sent an e-mail about this!
"I know our fans are anxiously awaiting this jersey and we are excited to unveil it," said Kings President, Business Operations Luc Robitaille. "Everyone will want to get to that game early."
I don't get the opportunity to quote the great Luc Robitaille very often, but if they aren't going to actually wear it until gametime, why should everybody get there early? Unless he means like actually at gametime, not five minutes or so afterwards.
You'd think they'd just forget to include that 3rd jersey with the diagonal grey stripe down the front....
how bad is this?? (LA 3rd logo confirmed)
