The updated gear, featuring a striking combination of black, silver, and white, promises to turn heads as the team takes to the ice. Highlighting the Kings' storied past, the new logo combines elements from the 1990s with the original 1967 crown, creating a unique and familiar design.
In a promotional video that underscores the cultural impact of the team, hip-hop legend Snoop Dogg and beloved South Park character Eric Cartman lend their star power to the unveiling. The home jerseys are adorned with a distinct white patch, while the away jerseys feature a complementary black patch. Additionally, the Kings have introduced new matte black helmets that add an extra layer of boldness to the home uniforms.
"This evolution is rooted in our 57-year history and embraces the elements of our eras. It also involved interface and feedback with players both past and present, and it sets the stage for extensions and new iterations in the future," stated Luc Robitaille, capturing the essence of this significant update.
The new uniforms will make their grand debut at the 2024 NHL Draft in Las Vegas, signaling the start of an exciting new chapter for the Kings.
