Stadium Series Jersey Discussion

numberception.

Or numbers as capes, I like it. distracts from the rest of the design looking like a 50s vintage mens onesie bathing suit.

BINGO!

I've racking my brain trying to figure what they reminded me of, that's it!

haha that's awesome.
White Pants!!! Take a look at the 74 capitals (I think it was 74 I read), they were the last team to wear them and they were terrible.
The Flames wore cream coloured pants during the heritage classic, and those were very bad to start looked even worse once wet.
 
More on White Pants...

From http://www.nhluniforms.com/BriefHistory2.jpg
In 197[4], the NHL expanded into Washington, DC, with the Washington Capitals. That team decided it might look good if the players wore white pants with their red jerseys. They couldn't have been more wrong if they predicted they would go to the playoffs in their inaugural year (they won only eight games). The white pants were the subject of massive ridicule and were quickly put to pasture.

Also from an article that I can only find quoted, but the original article appears to be a dead link:
Hall-of-Famer Milt Schmidt was the first-
ever GM of the expansion Capitals in 1974-75, and came up with the ill-fated idea of wearing white pants at home.

The 1970s were a time of leisure suits, plaid patterns, various neck chains and for one hockey team, an unusual fashion statement ... white pants.

In the 1974-75 season, the original Washington Capitals home uniforms featured a red, white and blue jersey and white hockey pants. It was the only time in NHL history that players wore white pants as part of a home uniform.

The white pants experiment has been largely forgotten by most people connected to hockey, as it was ditched rather quickly by owner Abe Pollin and his staff. But Pollin did try something different with his expansion hockey team that would win just eight games in its first season.

I'm actually pretty embarrassed with our uniforms, I would put them up there with these.

Now that I think about it our uniforms are worse than these. So ****ing ugly.

So, who here thinks the Kings will get shutout at another Stadium Series game while wearing a ridiculously stupid and boring looking uniform?

Well we know they will not be able to pass worth **** as they will not be able to see each other. Every King will blend into the ice from the torso down, and the shoulders will blend into the crowd.
It's the true camo jersey
 
They already can't connect with passes as is, but you make a good point. I'm calling another 3-0 shutout with the Kings failing to convert on a number of PP opportunities. Pretty much your standard result for a Kings regular season game that is nationally televised.
 
Silver/grey and black is an awesome combo we all know and love and I have 3 Kings hats with that color scheme so how do they fail two years in a row with these jerseys? Every jersey design the last 15 years has been worse than the previous. It's really amazing.

I do have to say that hat looks mighty sharp on you in your avatar.

The Vegasking represents!
 
It seems to me that when most of these teams play outdoors they choose to honor their city's heritage if not their own team (see Vancouver wearing the old Millionaires' logo last year), so why would the Kings not do something like this?

The league has established that the Stadium Series games are not about throwbacks or heritage jerseys like the Winter Classic or Heritage Classic. It seems like the league is using the Stadium Series as a testing ground / cash grab for new jersey looks. It's not all bad, but it's also not all that great.

(Full disclosure, I ordered one of the new Stadium Series jerseys. I'm a glutton for Kings jerseys.)
