VancouverFan69 Posted October 12, 2018 Share Posted October 12, 2018 So great to see yellow/gold making a comeback in the NHL as a primary colour. Unfortunately, it's always been set up to fail by average to poor teams until the Predators adopted it full-time. If the Kings had kept their original purple and gold going into the Gretzky era but with the original template and had the Canucks kept the original Stick In Rink instead of going with the Flying V plus having highly skilled players to compete with the Oilers and Islanders, yellow/gold would be as popular as many of the classic whites and dark colours.

What B’s sweater is that? Did they ever use those in games? That’s the first time I’ve seen a variant with no white stripes before.

johnnysama Posted October 13, 2018 Share Posted October 13, 2018 I gotta say, the 1980s was a pretty crazy time for hockey uniforms. And I'm likely in the minority on this, but I actually dig the Kings and Canucks (both the big 'V' and the shoulder-'V' jerseys) jerseys from that era.

The '80 was not a crazy time for hockey uniforms. Colorful, yes but not crazy. The generic BBFS 90's with uniforms with diagonal hemlines and mountain and wavy designs were a crazy time for hockey unis. You are in a very high minority because I, too, loved the unique home yellow/gold of the Canucks and Kings along with their matchups vs the greens of the North Stars & Whalers and reds of the Flames(classics), Red Wings, Devils w/dark green and Capitals.

johnnysama Posted October 23, 2018 Share Posted October 23, 2018 ^ Any Kings/Canucks matchup for most of the 1980s was defenitely colo(u)rful. I tend to joke that those two uniforms that they had then was why colo(u)r TV was invented. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OnWis97 Posted October 23, 2018 Share Posted October 23, 2018 My favorite yellow uniform, and it's not even close, is the LA Kings when they had the Flyers template in the 1980s. I wish they'd have kept them for Gretzky.

I still prefer the original Kings uniform with the Red Wings' red jersey template but the I will take the Kings' 80's look over anything black and silver. Purple and yellow-gold look great together and it was distinctive and unique. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
