I kind of like the current LA Kings color scheme. The original colors were stolen from the LA Lakers, and the silver and black was taken from the then-LA Raiders.Av-merican said:Certainly beats the current black ones they sport...those are God-awful.
I wish the Kings would ditch their current look as well...either a change back to the gaudy Dionne/Taylor years with the purple-and-gold or the cool silver-and-black simplicity of the Gretzky era. The current look tries to straddle both eras and just ends up looking silly.
That is interesting information. The thought crossed my mind about the cost to the fans. I understand the league's fear that it might backfire on a team.LadyStanley said:League prohibited any team from making a change the first season after the lock out, as a nod to the fan (to not "gouge" them in "forcing" fans to purchase new jerseys).
Sounds like until November 2005, the league was pushing, through the requirement of going with RBK as the jersey maker, for all teams to tweak their presentation with "form fitting" jerseys, etc.
I've heard the Sharks were very upset with what was presented for them as it introduced red into the color scheme.
I don't like the looks of the form-fitting jerseys. They are too unhockey like for my tastes. I can't see Lou Lamoriell, who won't use an alternate sweater because he doesn't like the break from tradition, going along with the idea unless the league forces it on everyone.
