And, as that article says, that'll be 5 jerseys for the Kings in 2019-20 (Home, Away, Alt Gray, Stadium, Heritage). Quote The LA Kings '90s Era Heritage Jersey is a permanent addition to the Kings jersey line-up that now features four different team jerseys, including the LA Kings Silver adidas adizero Authentic NHL Jersey which was revealed last November. A fifth LA Kings adidas adizero Authentic NHL Jersey, which will not be a permanent addition to the line-up, will be unveiled by the NHL and the Kings soon as part of the 2020 NHL Stadium Series game on February 15, 2020 at Falcon Stadium in Colorado Springs, Colorado when the Kings face the host Avalanche.

Prince Harry Posted August 31, 2019 Share Posted August 31, 2019 Wow, a team finally used the full collar treatment properly and it actually looks good.

Morgan33 Posted August 31, 2019 Share Posted August 31, 2019 10 minutes ago, Ice_Cap said: More 90s stuff! @Morgo drip, drip, drip I'd hardly call that Kings jersey a 90's design. It debuted in 1988 and is as traditional as a uniform can be. Using the palm-tree logo on the helmet is hardly proof of a full blown swing towards 90's aesthetics either. If anything it just shows they don't know what they're doing at the moment. If 90's stuff was the dominant trend, we would at least see teams that won a championship in 90's inspired looks going back to them full time. The Lightning are still playing Maple Leafs dressup and the Hurricanes are now imitating the Rangers via diagonal script. The retro trend is still very much in full effect.

When it was worn isn't really the point. The Kings jersey contains none of the hallmarks of 90's design. It uses traditional stripes, a bloc font, an updated take on a logo from 1975 and just two colours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't know that the Sabres ever took the ice in the old Aud wearing the new uniforms They were popular and sold well. And have their own place in history. But the goat head, the black white gray and red. The various other 90's design elements...it just wasn't built to last I have fond memories of Hasek under siege in those uniforms. Just brilliant goaltending. And was always perplexed how Brodeur/Hasek match ups (i'm a Devs fans) actually ended up more high scoring than you'd think following the Game 6 1994 epic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By this metric the Ottawa Senators and Tampa Bay Lightning's inaugural identities aren't "90s" designs despite debuting in 1992 because they're both traditional designs. So if you're just going to move the goalposts by asserting that uniforms designed in or worn primarily in the 90s (the Kings even call this throwback their "90s Era Heritage Jersey") don't really count because they're not out-there enough? Then no. I have to say you're not being genuine when you say "90s." You're merely advocating for a return of a subset of sports uniform design trends from the decade. 2 hours ago, Morgo said: Using the palm-tree logo on the helmet is hardly proof of a full blown swing towards 90's aesthetics either.

Besides both of those identities actually debuting in the 90's they featured several innovations not seen before. In spite of what the Golden Knights would like people to believe they were among the first teams to use metallic embroidery on their crests. They also showed a shift towards more complicated logos and in the Lightning's case, a unique pant-shell design. Quote So if you're just going to move the goalposts by asserting that uniforms designed in or worn primarily in the 90s (the Kings even call this throwback their "90s Era Heritage Jersey") don't really count because they're not out-there enough? Then no. I have to say you're not being genuine when you say "90s." You're merely advocating for a return of a subset of sports uniform design trends from the decade. No one's moving any goalposts when you consider what the main characteristics of the 90's aesthetic were. - New Colours (Teal, Jade, Eggplant, etc) - Metallic Embroidery - More complex logos, often based on mascots. - More emphasis on black or darker colours. - New striping ideas (You could argue the Canucks were ahead of their time but the Panthers and Mighty Ducks were the teams that made it a trend). I'd argue that the Sharks and Northstars kick-started the trend in 1991/92 and the Senators and Lightning followed suit a year later. Look at how the league looked in 1990/91. Every team had a traditional design. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morgan33 Posted September 1, 2019 Share Posted September 1, 2019 That Kings jersey uses flat grey, not metallic embroidery. The 1988 redesign was about imitating the Raiders, not trailblazing new ground. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
