No team in the NHL has purple so I wish they kept purple with adidas
Wrong a 2010 black and dark purple shoulders you missed
Zach brewer bruh I’m talking about now
Anaheim used to.
@@allanburton8115 I’m saying NOW
Remember their 3rd jerseys?
Ya know, the "Burger King".
Hehe, you’re very welcome as always. Now, if I find a CCM 6100 in your size, I’ll get it to ya.
Also the silver sparkle is for it to pop on the white sweater. On the black sweater, there’s enough of a contrast.
the purple ones from the late 90s/early 00s were nice af
I want one
I always loved it cause of System of the down toxicity videoclip :D
It's heresy to wear the colors of the Sacramento Queens to the staples center. They made the right decision to get rid of those jerseys
Nice pfp lol
I love the gold and purple from the 60's and 70's the most.
I want to clear my throat, stand on a mountaintop, and scream "Bring back the purple!!!" to the LA Kings. They looked beautiful. And also the NHL does NOT have a single purple team anymore which is a shame.
I traded my Ontario Reign jersey with a German national who was visiting for the Frozen Friendly match up with the franchises newly acquired Eisbaren Berlin from the Deutsche Eishockey Liga (DEL). It's a custom Warrior jersey. A great crowd from Germany, an awesome game and a moment I will never forget.
I actually prefer the purple and gold from the 60s- 70s. Anything but the Raiders colors.
I have a challenge, take a drink of Cherry Coke Zero every time he says eBay or BenHsports.
Store that closed down in Chilliwack
Gretzky wearing the 92 black and silver, with his signature silver Easton hockey stick, pure classic. I remember a commentator said it was an excalibur for the "king"
The Kings' black, white, and silver look has grown on me a *ton,* in recent months.
I miss the chevrolet logo...I know it's not a great knight crest but it really became iconic in the 90's ! It's like the Canuck one...Some logo just stand as great !
I love their current sent, but I do agree with having the crown as the primary logo. I would love to see the purple jersey from 1999 as a 3rd.
L A Kings fan since 1974. Thanks Shannon for the piece.
I always loved the original Kings purple and gold because you never forget your first game and it was the Kings farm team at Springfield ahl with Butch Goring and Billy Smith.
Thinking back on the old days had me recall old hockey barns thinking of my 1st games I attended, Shannon did you ever think of doing a video on old hockey barns? in Ahl it was the old Hershey arena and in West Springfield the eastern state coliseum on the grounds of the New England fairgrounds where all the Eddie Shore famous antics happened like tying the goalie to the net to teach him not to leave the crease. What was great was the chairs were wooden and fans would stomp the chairs and their feet of wooden stands causing the building to shake rattle and roll which was the theme song of Eddie Shores teams. and the players home and visitors had to go threw the crowd to get to and from dingy little dressing rooms. One game against Hershey Alain Cote number 9 of Hershey had a breakaway and shot 20 ft wide. in intermission I was at the runway to the Hershey dressing room and when they came out to the ice I yelled hey Cote you suck and he went berserk on me and came after me and swung his stick me. other players had to hold him back. fans all laughed and high fived me. those were the days. but yea I changed the subject a bit sorry.
Wow Billy Smith on the Kings. Wonder how good the Kings would have been in the 70's had they not lost Smith to the Islanders in the expansion draft?
Hey Shannon. Gretzky may have been "on the way out" with the Rangers. But he still finished 4th in scoring 97 and 98. (not bad for an "old guy") You could wear a Rangers 99 Jersey with pride I would say! haha
Guess they got to rebrand again since the raiders aren't in cali no more
Vegas is a LA suburb so it's cool. /Waits for angry Knights fans.
Well, they still have the Rams, Chargers, and Clippers to choose from if they want to copy local football and basketball teams. Of course the late 90s uniforms copied the Sacramento Kings, so I guess any of California's teams are an option...
They should go back to the Lakers colors!
That makes no sense. If anything, they should keep the colors now that the Raiders aren't in California. When they were in California, especially LA, Al Davis was upset about them ripping off their color scheme.
@@osaji922 it was a sarcastic comment. But I wouldn't mind if they brought purple back
Con todo respeto es una colección increíble la que tiene un saludo de cabo san Lucas mexico
The post Gretzky colours are actually those of the NBA Sacramento Kings.
oh. Actually I never made that connection but yes
The coat of arms logo is one of my favs! So classy!
Love my Kings, up to 25 jerseys in my collection now.
Meanwhile me being a Kings fan in the Philippines...only have a Kings hat. So hard to find jerseys here. Sometimes you can see them in thrift shops but its really rare.
Tj Samson great to meet a Kings fan in the Philippines. I’m lucky I live in the LA area where jerseys are in abundance. Many that I’ve purchased for incredibly low prices.
Love the chevron. I picked up a heritage jersey the last game I went to in March.
Amazing, you feel the same way about the LA Kings as I do about Vancouver. In your last statement is exactly how I feel about the Canucks. As an LA fan I should hate the Nucks more than I do but that green and blue jersey and overall vibe of the city I just can't hate them.
Props for that Reign gear. I live about 12 miles from the stadium and I don't even have that gear.
I feel the same way about the flames. I know I should hate the flames but i have a soft spot for the Canadian teams.
Lol same
The guitarist of System of a down wears the black and purple jersey in the video clip of chop suey!
Cool Reign gear.
The chevron jersey i loved because of the Gretzky years and beyond.
Love the LA home plate jerseys because we won a Cup with that logo, but it has never sit right with me. It is a "Home Plate". I've always associated it with baseball.
My favorite jersey is the 3rd with the string neck line and the shield.
The new jerseys with the home plate shaped logo should be changed to a shield shaped logo instead. Keep it the same. Just use a shield.
I was so happy to find this video! I picked up an old (early 1970's) hockey bag. It was full of some super cool hockey stuff. The duffel bag is maroon and gold and says "LA Midget Kings" on it. Inside the bag were some OLD jerseys. There's a Kings jersey made by the Goodman company. There were also some "The Forum" employee shirts. There's a 75/76 LA Kings sport coat in it...but it is maroon, too. Just really random stuff. I have a question, if you might be able to answer it. Was the "Midget" a high school aged league? Does that explain the color difference? Great video even if you don't have the time to respond. Thanks!
Adidas 3 stripes is iconic in as of itself, so three strings. I love the current LA lettering logo. For anyone that grew up in the U.S. when you see "L A" you think of L.A. (Los Angeles). Just like the Dodgers- I don't think anyone really loves the 'Dodgers' lettering logo better than the simple and clean LA. LA is money. Also, I like the font too. Almost a Chinatown type of thing. Thumbs up!
Considering how many rebrands the Kings have gone through, I hope they do another one soon. Would be good timing for the current rebuild. Would love to see purple back in the design. Could be cool to have mainly grey and black still but gold and purple striping.
I hope they rebrand back to purple and black but I fear they won’t as they won 2 cups in their current jerseys and most teams that win in a certain jersey don’t rebrand that look for a while.
Kings need to get back to chevy
We need to go back to the Forum Blue and Gold...with the matching pants... Old school...all the way...
I have every King jersey from Purple and Gold to the Gretzky era plus the 2014 Stadium Series. All with Gretzky on the back. They are knock offs from China but I use them when I play hockey or go see a game. I am planning on buying the Gretzky era jerseys from the LA Kings shop.
The Kings had a slight change of the 2000's jerseys when they removed the purple from bottom and kept the "Los Angeles" word mark just on white or black for the white and black jerseys respectively...understand why you wouldn't have those changes either.
I dont think the Kings will ever top the blk n purple crown jersey. that one is 🔥🔥
Great job aa usual Shannon! Thank you for all your hard work and dedication sharing your vids. I looked forwarded them a lot during our lockdown...see ya soon & Go Kings Go!!!
Jack Kent Cooke and his forum blue haha
I'm so so envious of your collection..well done myfriend
The first rebranding, the logo always reminded me of the Chevrolet logo.
I still wish the Kings would go back to the Purple & Gold, so they could blend with my Lakers. I really love those 50th Anniversary purple and gold jersey.
So far the only variations I have to go are the crest jersey, the home purple/silver crown, only one more stadium series jersey and I’ve got the basics! I guess 3rds throw a wrench into things...
Great channel!
great video Shannon keep up the great videos
Wish the Kings could use the smug Bugs Bunny as a king logo.
Great video! Thank you for wearing the Ontario Reign gear, those are my guys big fan! Keep up the great videos
I think another reason the "Burger King" was so unpopular is that was the '95-'96 season. The Kings were not a very good team, after the All-Star break, Gretzky pretty much demanded a trade, went to St. Louis, they decided to blow up it, traded Kurri, McSorley, etc., we'll go with the kids, get our brains beat out for awhile and hopefully then get better. Not a lot of good memories of that season.
6:53
I think my favorite is the new adidas gray 😮💨😅
I would KILL to have one of the Burger King jerseys...
I bought one at an Ontario Reign game. It was affiliate night and they played in them.
The Chevy era jerseys had two different number colors for the white, prior to 1992 it was silver and after 1992 they switched to black numbers, I assume because the silver was difficult to read. They also changed the trim on the name and numbers prior to 1992 adding a white stroke between the silver and black.
Stadium Series '22 - Kings vs. Islanders. In the parking lot of a Swap Meet. Burger Kings vs. Gortons Fishermen jerseys. Winner gets a new 3rd, designed by Gary Bettman himself.
They’re gonna rebrand to Rams colors, including the number color gradient and the away jersey being a bone color
I still can't believe how much better I liked both the LA and Colorado jerseys from the last Stadium Series when I actually saw them on the ice.
5:45 God I want those jerseys
You need to try and get you one of the reverse retros from this season. They are maybe the best sweaters the Kings have ever come out with.
My hockey team has the purple shield jerseys and they look fantastic
It is purple, but we call it "Forum Blue" lol
Jack Kent Cooke called it forum blue lol
@@ryanpay3235 Jack Kent Cooke liked the color purple but hated the word "purple". Hence, "Forum Blue". Another case of how does somebody get so rich and can be so strange at the same time?
The Greatest LA Kings Jersey ,..1988 - 89' the road black uniform and # 99 , bummer they never won a Cup with Wayne
My favourite jerseys of the LA Kings are the black, white and the sliver ones.
KINGS HAVE ALWAYS HAD SOME OF THE NICEST JERSEYS IN THE LEAGUE
We have the ugliest , most boring unis in the league right now..
Kings fan since 95 I have most of those kings sweaters.
70s through the 90s are my favorite
I been to Ontario California a few times . I fly from Vancouver BC to Ontario Cali
That's a rather dramatic shift in climate.
I really think the Gretzky-era Raider jerseys with either of the crown logos would make an excellent rebrand, or at least fauxback.
Thanks for representing for the Reign. Season seat holder here.
This is just the saddest tale for sure, we had the most beautiful jerseys in sport, today we have the ugliest by far, created to try to be hip with gangsters and rappers.. hopefully one day ownership brings back the glory we deserve!
L.A. Kings jerseys are beautiful.
- Anaheim Ducks fan
Some of the ducks jerseys are pretty sweet too. Especially the throwbacks.
They should do a silver and black 70's style crown.
I still think they should go back to the purple, white, and grey crown jerseys. They are fantastic, and original looking.
Their current logo is just boring and looks like a baseball home plate...
@@gideonvictor I mean that's fair, I still think it could look better. I agree with what Shannon said in that I don't think the LA being the focus of the logo is as good as have the crown be larger.
I would wager that most Kings fans prefer the crown logo. A smaller group the Chevy bowtie. I think Bob in La Habra is the one fan who prefers the home plate. I kid. The home plate logo will always be associated with the Cup teams so there are fond memories with it. But yeah, it would have been sweeter with a crown logo.
Kings have the best Rebranding history in my opinion. Even the current full blacks I like because they kind of fit the teams grit from earlier in the decade.
I wish LA would go back to some of the purple and black ones. Just love those jersey's.
Khorney yes i miss those sweaters. I went to the final games with the purple and black sweaters.
I was a late comer to hockey so I like the black and silver logos.
I have the one Gretzky wore in black. Hard not to cheer on the great one.
Remember how my eyes hurt whenever LA played Vancouver (flying-V), no matter who the home team was. Even then, it looked like a video game.
Looks like you are missing the 2007-11 white and purple jerseys as well. Similar to 02-07, still with Los Angeles at the bottom but not with the colored block around it.
Can’t wait for the Pittsburgh video
I wish that they would keep the current colors but change back to the 2000s crown logo. The LA shield logo was cool in the early 2010s when they were winning cups, but it looks dated now. The crown was always a clean logo
I like the Royal Purple, also the motor oil.
Our currents are either what I call the Driver Fatigue or Stormtrooper jerseys...
Their 2014 Stadium Series is nice. The only one you don't have.
If I’m not mistaken the Lakers didn’t have Purple and Yellow until the same season as the Kings came into the league. I think the Lakers used blue and white for many yrs before that. So maybe the Lakers took the Kings idea for the colors?
Purple is the color of royalty, I think they got it right to begin with and should still be that way
Do not really remember but didn't that re-tool of brands start with Bruce McNall..? I like the triple crown sweaters ...
It'd be a fun, friendly bet between teams in a best-of-seven that the loser of the series has to wear their most ridiculous jersey in team history (chosen by the winner of the series) in their next regular season meeting following the series.
At least that's where my mind went when I saw and heard you talking about the LA Burger Kings.
I honestly prefer the Kings stick with the black and white jerseys just because it there the only team with those colours and it goes well with LA
I would definitely like to buy black purple black Kopitar jersey and burger king Gretzky Jersey
I actually like the LA shield. Just wish they were purple
Was looking for a good spot to post this i was looking at the rookie D-man and ranked the 12 that played a min of 50 games 1-12 in 20 stat categories and when i added the totals up, the 3 that had the best totals were #1 Adam Fox,#2 Cale Makar, and #3 Matt Roy and if i took out takeaways Roy is 1st i only mention it because absolutely nobody is saying anything about Roy and he may be the best D-man of this rookie class only time will tell
Totally agree. He played very well this year, being +16 on that kings team should not be underrated. Sadly he is already 25 so he probably won't progress much but if he can stay close to this season's level he will have his place in the young core.
I've been looking for the Marcel Dionne era jerseys for ever and can't find them at a decent price or at all
Very good channel
What about the purple and black Reebok ones with just the crown?
I hope adidas brings back those black and purple jerseys
I like the original 60s-70s design and colors. The black/silver or the logo just doesn't do it.
As a Sharks fan gonna chime in that the Gretzky 90s silver and black were the best, I hate the Lakers Purple and Yellow and hate the early 2000s purple jerseys as well, their current jerseys look good just as Silver and Black
Ohhhh, that motion lines stadium jersey is one of those "is that great or awful? I can't tell." It's in the same department as the Canucks skating rink and their v stripe thing. I think I like those...I think. Obviously purple/marigold is beautiful. BK is awful.
Marcel Dionne for the win!
love that Chevy logo, go Kings go
The best jersey of all-time is the black ”chevy” aka Gretzky era Kings jersey
Now I want a Whopper w/ Cheese
I like black Jersey and silver and purple and black and silver la kings nhl stadium series Jersey
Yes, you can Shannon....Come on over to the "dark side"
LA Kings must of had the most Brand changes out of all the NHL teams. Looking forward to Minnesota Wild tomorrow.
I don't know... The Canucks have a number of them...
I can't wait for the Vegas jersey history
I don't imagine that video will be a very long
Hyped
I can't wait for stories of the vandalism of their practice facilities from the LVFD... I know of one where they did it and they said that they turned the logo into Sean Avery's "sloppy seconds"... I told the fireman that I want to give that guy a medal for giving me the biggest laugh that I had in 15 years...
do you think they will change colours to the LA Rams blue gold and white as Raiders are now in Vegas
I really need the Burger King jersey to be in the NHL games.
Now that the raiders are gone to Vegas hope we get purple/gold as thirds
