These Fanatic designs hopefully are interesting. Every teams doing a redesign over the next couple of seasons aren't they?

I've heard nothing but terrible things about Fanatics though. So let's hope they figure it out.

The italics with speed lines just seems like they wanted to copy the Lakers look (which I'm sure is exactly why they did it) and the black & silver was just copying the Raiders at the time and jumping on the "everything black is cool" trend of the late-80s (or maybe they started the trend and everyone copied them).
The Lakers and Kings had the same owner for many years. Jack Kent Cooke bought the Lakers in 1965, and was awarded the Los Angeles NHL expansion franchise in 1966. Cooke personally selected purple (or, as he called it, "Forum Blue") and gold for the Kings because they were 'regal' colours, and changed the Lakers to match. Cooke also changed the Lakers' logo when he bought the team, adding the "speed lines"; the Kings' logo was changed to match in the mid-'70s.

Cooke sold the Kings, Lakers, and the Forum to Jerry Buss in 1979, and sold the Kings to Bruce McNall in 1987.

McNall of course changed the colours from "Forum Blue and Gold" to black and silver when he acquired Gretzky in the summer of '88. Now, the interesting thing about that is Gretzky owned the Hull Olympiques of the QMJHL at the time. He bought them in 1985 and changed the colours from blue and yellow to...



Looks awfully familiar, doesn't it? (And yes, that's a young Marty Gelinas)

I wish the new kings logo would be wider and less tall. The proportions seem off, akin to it being stretched from the bottom. Should be stretched to the side.

Also, Ducks appearing to go full orange at home. Helmets and pants and jersey. Black and gold trim.
White and orange away uniform, white helmet but same orange pants.
Logo a modified OG duck logo.

Actually look better than the middled half measures uniform set they have now. All orange replicating SJ going all teal.

The Wildwing mask is such a great logo. Why the Ducks ever went away from it is beyond me.

I think they wanted to get away from the Disney connection when the Samuelis bought the team.

No longer owned by Disney. The logo went away at the same time as the utterly stupid ‘Mighty Ducks’ name.

I just hope the kings ditch the shiny helmets (knight as well). I hate those so much and they are so tacky. Not even good tacky.

Pleasantly surprised with the Ducks outfits. Though that much orange might be hard on the eyes on TV (a la Nashville's yellow).

Its actually not a Fanatics design. The Kings started this redesign process two years ago.

My daughter plays within the Jr Kings/Lions program. They use the royal purple/gold colors for their teams. The jerseys look sharp!

The video says the Kings are going to be the first NHL team with a matte finish to their helmets.

Anaheim got the first step right, now they just need to go back to eggplant and teal.
