TheLAKnight Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 I had a chance to see the jerseys in person today at the Kings game and I have to say that it's not bad on its own (without the pants that is). I will say that it makes last year's jerseys look so much better! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morgan33 Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 Anyone else really like the "carbon fiber" finish on the crests? I wouldn't want any team to employ it full time but as one off, it looks pretty good IMO. Certainly better than the chrome treatment from last year.

FGM13 Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 I actually really like the carbon fiber finish, but it's just the rest of it that I'm not a fan of. GO OILERS-GO BLUE JAYS-GO ESKIMOS-GO COLTS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sport Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 The problem with "it's just a one-off so it's fine" is that one-offs often lead to full-time looks and trends. It's a way for Big Uniform to test a look without making a full-time commitment for a team. I hope this isn't the beginning of some teams thinking it's okay to wear white hockey pants. Because it is not okay and will never be okay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheOldRoman Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 I don't think Reebok is using this as a trial balloon for white pants. I think it's all about Reebok drawing attention to Reebok."What the hell are the Kings wearing?""Well, they're special uniforms designed by Reebok..."The announcers are going to mention Reebok a dozen times during the game. And if no back-up punter gets arrested and ESPN has nothing better to fill time with, they'll highlight the game on Sportscenter and mention that Reebok designed those ugly uniforms the Kings are wearing.They're outlandish and people will take notice. It's drawing Reebok attention, and teams wont mind looking like crap for one game if it gives them more money. Besides, the Kings' actual jersey isn't bad if you ignore the pants and numbers. I'm sure they'll sell a decent number of replicas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevin W. Posted December 20, 2014 Share Posted December 20, 2014 So the crests are not even embrodied ? cheap replica lookNo different from what they did last year. I hope that doing this for one-off games isn't a sign of things to come for the league as a whole. If they get rid of the chain stitching on the Blackhawks' jerseys, I will get my torch and pitchfork.

If they get rid of the chain stitching on the Blackhawks' jerseys, I will get my torch and pitchfork.I feel like this is coming, since Reebok quit its contract with the facility in Quebec that used to make all the teams' crests.

wildwing64 Posted December 20, 2014 Share Posted December 20, 2014 Now that I think about it, the carbon fibre thing is reminding me very much of Reebok's "Cross Check Collection". Hmm.It's still less awful than the chrome, and that's only because it's going to be much less noticeable, especially on the Kings jersey.

sportsherald Posted December 20, 2014 Share Posted December 20, 2014 I am not convinced they will work well for LA, but it should be acknowledged that wearing white pants in hockey is not a new idea... Use the rules of heraldry for more effective sports logos! i.e. keep it simple, use good contrast... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Certainly better than the chrome treatment from last year.I don't mind the design at all, especially on the Kings crest, but the Sharks logo looks like it has a dull sheen to it, either from the flash hitting it, or from the material. Either way, it greatly detracts from the impact of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

habsfan1 Posted December 21, 2014 Share Posted December 21, 2014 Not sure if this is an optical illusion or not, but the middle stripe on the Sharks jersey seems much wider or larger than the Kings middle stripe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guy with Machete Posted December 21, 2014 Share Posted December 21, 2014 I actually think the Kings uni and white pants look fantastic. Perhaps not a great primary look but it's something different. The white parts looks crisp and clean and it's IMO far superior to their current home and road jerseys (which of course isn't saying much).

By the end of the 1st, they'll be scuffed up from pucks and all sweat stained. GO OILERS-GO BLUE JAYS-GO ESKIMOS-GO COLTS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
