Good to see LA didn't go with those ridiculous chrome helmets.
Just because something is different doesn’t mean it’s better.Meh, black this black that.
I love that teams like the Ducks and Sharks do something different.
We can't all have the same taste, but in this case I do think it is better.Just because something is different doesn’t mean it’s better.
I don't love the colors, but the logo is 284554568456 better than the shit they hadClearer screengrabs from the Ducks’ release video.
They’re not too bad. I don’t hate them. Would the addition of a black strip on the road white’s all orange shoulder yoke have made these a smidge better?

It’s better than their last jerseys, but that’s extremely low bar.We can't all have the same taste, but in this case I do think it is better.
If anything, the home uni has too MUCH black because the jersey is weirdly balanced.
However, I also view this as more of a colour palette for the entire league. I love some variety and identity in designs.
In the 90's every team and their dogs' teams adopted black or navy. "Look at us, we're so mean-looking and edgy!" Meh.
Yes, which is a great development in my opinion.It’s better than their last jerseys, but that’s extremely low bar.
Also, there are only 3 teams that have black jerseys and exluding Kings they all had them for much longer than since the 90’s.
The Raiders left LA to return to Oakland in 1994. These days they are in Las Vegas with the Golden Knights. So technically, are you saying the Kings should match with the Rams/Chargers?I don't understand why more sports teams don't get with the program and keep similar colors to other teams in their city:
Kings - Raiders (silver/black)
Pens - Steelers (black/yellow)

Add those Kings chrome helmets when you're at it.Imagine how good they would be if they were plum and jade
Are those Jokerit’s new colors?Add those Kings chrome helmets when you're at it.
Nooooooooooo! I mean, do change them, Tampa, but not back to the originals! Beating my own drum here, but this would be amazing:Lots of teams going back in time.
Your turn Bolts. Do the right thing. Funny how so many other teams asked fans and went with their opinion. The Lightning completely ignored the fans.
That’s my thought, too. Could these have been better? Yeah. There’s always room for improvement. Should the purple/gold & eggplant/jade have returned? Sure. But teams’ fans are never going to be 100% behind any change. These were good compromises to try something “new”Both look pretty damn good honestly. Love the orange.
get rid of the shoulder tokes and yup, its a winnerI personally thought the Ducks hit a homerun with the 25th anniversary set and always hoped that was signaling a return to those in the future.

But we all know the owners are emphasizing the use of orange, so these new all orange sets are a good compromise away from the Webbed-D crest identity that most folks weren’t fans of.
Well it’s an improvement
Both southern California teams spent some time and money on these sizzle reels for their reveals. Is that Kiefer Sutherland on the Kings’ voiceover? Freelance motion graphics folks were working overtime!Well it’s an improvement
