The white looks so... plain. Not that they will make the switch, but it's a shame they wouldn't be able to incorporate both the gold and forum blue sets as their away/home uniforms.

I remember this. Those whites look pretty good to me! Gold would be better, but the gold uniforms could be a third uniform for use at home.Funny, this same issue about having white instead of gold was brought up years ago and at the time I used that same Doughty photo to show what a white version might look like:

I agree with this ^^^^
Overall, my favs are:
1. Gretzky era black / silver / white. This is close as any LA design has come to hockey jersey design perfection. and not just the colors, but the proportions, trim, and especially the silver chevron popped on BOTH the black and white jerseys. And they used a normal hockey jersey number and name font.
2. original purple and gold. Not much to add, they are virtually perfect in every way. strong hockey design.
3. current black / silver. close, but several design elements are still missing. OR maybe I've just been beaten down by many years of this already, but since we won 2 cups with these, I do not see new jerseys in our future (I still do not own one of these). But the black chevron needs to be silver to look better on the black jerseys as well as the white. The LA home plate logo is average at best - and the name / number font is stupid bad. And why isn't there any silver / white trim on the gloves? All black gloves = boooooring!
4. black / purple / white. Redesigned crown is a classic logo, 9.5/10. The "LOS ANGELES" on bottom of jersey embarrassingly bad! The shield logo? good attempt, but sunglasses on the lion?? come on, get serious.
5. purple / gold '80s. not a fan of the wide (flyers / jets) sleeve stripes, but otherwise good.

Fan since 72-73 season when I was a kid. I love the revamp of the original forum blue jersey. But I loved this one when it was out. It seems no one did or they don’t want to recall that era?

Alernative 3rd jersey between 99 and 2002.

Those Koho jerseys were actually sweaters in weight and ability to trap heat inside.

Jumping into this 5 year old thread to say that the NHL has started allowing teams to wear their dark helmets with their white uniforms, so the look on the left would actually be possible in today’s nhl.Funny, this same issue about having white instead of gold was brought up years ago and at the time I used that same Doughty photo to show what a white version might look like:

Love and own this one. The only jersey I've bought in my adult life (had a chevy logo Sandstrom jersey when I was a teen).

I know I'm in the minority here, but the 2000's era jerseys were my favorite. Especially the alternate purple jersey. But that said, the retro jersey from last season was beautiful.
Either way, the Kings need to ditch the black and white. It's time for them to add some color back into their jersey. I'd be fine with the retro jersey being their new uniform.

I kind of wish for a better crown logo. I feel like both versions are dated and look more like secondary logos.
Our jerseys are a conundrum. We have one of the most unique original color schemes that are beloved, sells really well, and matches perfectly with our name and theme; however, we have to be up there in teams that have haphazardly changed them the most but also have kind of decent, catchy, uniforms with every single change.
Then you throw in that we have Luc in the front office practically in charge of it and in love with the Gretzky era coupled with us finally winning the cup a couple of times during this era of uniforms, I doubt they are going to change soon, despite the sales of the reverse retros being a pretty strong indicator that adopting any of those styles would be easily successful.
THG has always been glowing about the Kings' jersey history and style and ranks them #1 in most cases:

These are absolutely incredible. My goodness. Should be their everyday jersey just perfect. But nah we have to look at that stupid home plate for another decade.I love this look. Bring it back!

These were sick as well. But wasn't this a third jersey. Wish they went to these permanently back then.
