0061: The Final Word on LA
Listen up, LA. The Kings jerseys need fixing and this is really all you need to do win the game. Right here. Kudos to James Taylor for finding the sweet spot.

Haha! Apparently, I was totally wrong. Not an uncommon place to be. I like it, but obviously I'm in the minority.

I actually think it's pretty awful. I thought the concept a week or so back was much better. The yellow alternate here is certainly intriguing though.
Nope. Sorry the current 3 jersey system the use is awesome.
Clicked on the link expecting to be blown away. "Final word?" Let's hope not. This is a miss, though I always appreciate a Kings concept. Absolutely unique - I'll give you that. Points for using the original logo(s) though the shield was always to busy for me. My own weak attempts at Kings concepts have always used purple and silver as well (much like the last LA concept here) and that's a good balance of black you've added to the home. I also like the gold as a third. Unfortunately the overall design leaves this Kings fan feeling cold.
Sorry Chris, don't agree at all. The only acceptable fix as far as i'm concerned is bringing back the Purple and Gold, bring in a white, purple and gold road uni, and a black and silver third.
Final word? nope sorry never gonna happen
I still don't see what's wrong with their current jerseys, paired with the logo it's actually one of my favorite designs in the league. But, like you Chris, I must be in the minority.
...not sure what you're seeing here. Pretty basic Kings concept, just cutting and pasting a bunch of their past jerseys into one.
The kings jerseys you posted last week were more exciting.
really like the third jersey here, would complement the current home and away nicely as a kind of vintage/throwback style. The other two, eh. Not so much. five stars for the third, 2.5 for the other two.
I also completely disagree that these are a fix. However, I don't think they are bad it is just that I also completely disagree with everyone else who thinks the Kings jerseys need fixing in the first place. I think they have some of the better jerseys in the league right now. And I hate hate hate their purple and gold monstrosities.
I'm going to have to agree with what was generally said here, the crown logo is too busy and the yellow and purple alternate should not exist. Have we learned nothing from the Nashville Predators Home Jerseys?
The yellow alternate would be amazing if it came to be. The home and road jerseys are unspectacular
Oh my god.. I thought we were Freaky Friday !! ... These are UGLY AS HELL !!
I like the balance of the colors on the home/away and the gold 3rd is nice, but these designs leave something to be desired. I like the clean look of their current jerseys anyways, but I starting rooting for the Kings when I was a kid in the early 90's, just to put my bias out there.
Love how the original logo looks. Might be better if the side patches were replaced with the Gretzky-era logo.
