Their purple reverse retro is hands down, one of the best jerseys in all of professional sports history - absolutely perfect; in theme, concept, and presentation.
They should make the purple the home and the white the road. Our fanbase has been asking for the return to purple (forum blue) and gold for a while now.
I'm old. And I'm a classics, throwback guy. But for the Kings, the best jersey is now and always has been the black and silver Gretzky threads. I usually hate when teams add or change to black. That one worked big time. It stirs up images of Gretzky at the forum, the Raiders, toughness, West Coast rap in the 90s. And for a hockey team that's all good.
I think the reason those black Kings uniforms worked back then was because they were the first NHL team going with a mostly black look. The Bruins had black jerseys and pants, but their yellow socks offset the look. Plus it was cool that the Kings went from LA Lakers colors to LA Raiders colors, which were more associated with bada$$ery.
Those coat of arms jerseys are my absolute favorite jerseys of Kings jerseys especially the purple version absolutely gorgeous if that's an island your not alone I'm with you there
Gretzky made the Raiders colours cool and leading to me getting one back in the day. Couldn’t let go being a Gretzky fan, even though I hated him for a brief period after the 89 playoff series with the Oilers.
As a longtime Kings fans, the coat of arms jerseys are also my favorite. When I started watching hockey back in 1998, the Kings were wearing those uni's.
4:02 I’m a die hard sharks fan and will stay one, but last year I found that white jersey in a Bay Area mall for 80 dollars (yes 80), it had to be a replica likely but still bought it cuz it just looked too nice. And now I’m super happy I bought it, since the store has sadly closed that I bought it from.
As a kings fan I want us to go back to the purple! I’m tired of the silver and black. Also shannon you’d definitely love supporting the kings if you have them the chance! I know it’s a California team and the players are new but our fan base is legit! Love my team. Also I saw you wanted to trade you quick one, do you not like quick?
I don’t think the Kings have ever had a bad jersey. They all work well for various reasons from the Laker Kings to the Gretzky black and grey to the coat of arms.
Even though I am a Sharks fan my favorite non Sharks team and jersey is definitely the Kings, more specifically those Wayne Gretzky era jerseys are pretty sweet.
I was extremely fortunate to buy two brand new sealed LAK89 retro reverse jerseys this year in a stock clearance, for £35 each. At that price, I got an L and XL. I only regret not buying more. The L is worn now and the XL is stored away for the next few decades, so I can wear it when I'm old and fat.
As a Kings jersey collector, love your collection. At this point, I've completed the collection of all home and away sweaters and have been collecting practice and fashion jerseys. I'm up over 60 total in my collection now. And like you, most of the older jerseys were from ebay or other second hand places.
Love the Ghost shirt THG. Just went to the concert on the 23rd of August in Pittsburgh. Killer show if u get the chance to go see them. Definitely a great concert considering it was my first one!
4:25 those are also my favorite Kings jerseys, though they went thru a period of switching up the logo with the same design. I *think* that originally the home/away had the shield logo and the 3rd had a crown , and that flipped eventually. I love the shield on the black (I have a Robitaille jersey in that configuration. They had switched the jersey by the time they retired his number and I was there for that game.)
LA has a lot of great looks. My personal favorite is reverse retro 2.0. 1.0 was nothing short of S tier, but I’m not the biggest fan of the chevron logo, and the Gretzky era.
Their best looking jersey they had was the chevy logo that gretz wore. The crest is cool, and purple is my favourite colour, but it's too busy for a pro hockey jersey
I like the purple but not the yellow. If they did something with their current look but incorporated purple highlights that would be a nice medium, though if people are adamant about the black and white I get that too
U are my hero love of the game Los Angeles kings always are fashionistas gkg. Vancouver v kings will always think of the captains meeting hit in the playoffs 2012
I really think they should do black-yellow-purple color scheme. Loved this series. I'm pretty sad we're almost at the end. You made me a jersey head a few years ago.
I'm biased but growing up in LA as a huge Raiders fan my favorite hands down are the classic Gretzky era silver and black with the Chevy logo. Love both the crown logo designs from the OG forum blue and gold to the early 2000s alternate purple and black ones that became the primary for a few years. I'm glad the Kings finally started embracing the older looks with the reverse retros because I've been of the opinion for a while now that our current jerseys are some of the worst in the league sadly. The home plate look is terrible and while I'll always have fond memories of them being the ones we finally won cups in I think it's well past time to make a permanent change back to the Chevy logo or I've been begging for someone to make a silver and black jersey with the OG crown on it. I think some version of that would look amazing.
The early 2000’s jerseys are nearly perfect, if it wasn’t for that unnecessary wordmark. But everything else (colours, striping, main crest, secondary logos, number and font) is still a unique look that I would love the Kings to go back to!
I just got a blank 90s lady liberty jersey and wanted to get it switched w a name on the back of it. I was curious how you get your jerseys stitched and where do you go
I really resented LA going for the Oakland Raider look. The LA King jersey was never my favourite but I liked how unique the purple and gold was. I hate the yellow jersey. My first Table Hockey game I had all twelve NHL teams. Still kicking myself that over time they were lost. The King jersey was great. Everyone likes Black and Silver. Hate the black and silver.
These two 1:39, and these two 5:26, 11:04(white ones) are the best out off all the jerseys in their franchise history. Absolute perfection. The retro purple ones would look great except they put that ugly chevy logo on it. Worst logo in all of sports. Lol. Only thing worse is their homeplate crest that they have now. 🤮
1:40 "Laker's colors". Laker's colors? Wrong, Wrong, Wrong! Royal blue and gold, colors of royalty. Kings colors! What are lakers colors? What in the frig is a laker anyway? In Minnesota, I guess it makes sense. Land of 10,000 lakes. In Los Angeles? Land of...4 lakes? 5 lakes. Makes not one damn bit of sense. Those are Kings colors, OK? Kings colors!
The Kings Forum blue and gold are Not Lakers colors! The Lakers were wearing Blue and white at the Sports arena and when the Forum was built they switched to the royal colors of Purple and gold and the Kings started with purple and gold so if anything the Lakers copied the Kings and yes you are on an island liking those ugly black and purple Staples Center era uniforms 🤮 🤮.
Their purple reverse retro is hands down, one of the best jerseys in all of professional sports history - absolutely perfect; in theme, concept, and presentation.
Agreed, it's perfect
It’s pretty nice. I’m going to give the current third jersey first in a squeaker, particularly with the chrome helmets.
Except they have that ugly freakin Chevy logo. One of the worst crests in all of sports. Put a crown and you got a winner.
@@BenDover-vs7ih I disagree; it's simply a great jersey - period.
11:08 LA needs to make one of these two their main jerseys. So pretty
They should make the purple the home and the white the road. Our fanbase has been asking for the return to purple (forum blue) and gold for a while now.

I hate it, too, when teams add black for no reason (49ers, Eagles, Lakers, Jets, etc)
If LA made their reverse retros their home and away I'd be tempted to become a Kings fan 😂
Those coat of arms jerseys are my absolute favorite jerseys of Kings jerseys especially the purple version absolutely gorgeous if that's an island your not alone I'm with you there
I absolutely love the coat of arms shield. The one with the grey collar is in my top 2 or 3 Kings sweaters of all time.
Gretzky made the Raiders colours cool and leading to me getting one back in the day. Couldn’t let go being a Gretzky fan, even though I hated him for a brief period after the 89 playoff series with the Oilers.
Sheild jersey with the neck strings is still my all time favorite. The crown with the strings was my 2nd favorite.
As a longtime Kings fans, the coat of arms jerseys are also my favorite. When I started watching hockey back in 1998, the Kings were wearing those uni's.
Reverse Retro jerseys rocked it!
Love the Kings purple and yellow
Damn! Too cool to hear you say #1. I honestly never thought about it but you may be correct. That purple reverse retro is absolutely stunning.
4:12 Those are also my all time favorite Kings jerseys. You're not alone Shannon.
4:02 I’m a die hard sharks fan and will stay one, but last year I found that white jersey in a Bay Area mall for 80 dollars (yes 80), it had to be a replica likely but still bought it cuz it just looked too nice.

The coat of arms logo was my favorite as well, I’m really hoping that’s the one we get this year!!! Please bring it back LA KINGS
I don’t think the Kings have ever had a bad jersey. They all work well for various reasons from the Laker Kings to the Gretzky black and grey to the coat of arms.
The purple black and silver era is what they should have full time imo. Although they won both of their Cups with the black and silver so I get it.
The LA Kings have had so many great jerseys 👏
I'm inspired by your Kings collection, to be fair the whole collection. Those are some beauts.
The lion in the coat of arms is wearing sunglasses because So Cal.😎
Forgot how many cool jerseys the Kings have had. I only have the white Adidas throwback which I like.
Even though I am a Sharks fan my favorite non Sharks team and jersey is definitely the Kings, more specifically those Wayne Gretzky era jerseys are pretty sweet.
Finally!!! Been waiting for you to get to my LA Kings!!
Last two are the bomb
The Kings classic look that they have in Adidas is nice
My favorite team is Edmonton.... my fave jersey is LA.... I've got major problems...
I was extremely fortunate to buy two brand new sealed LAK89 retro reverse jerseys this year in a stock clearance, for £35 each. At that price, I got an L and XL. I only regret not buying more. The L is worn now and the XL is stored away for the next few decades, so I can wear it when I'm old and fat.
I hate how much I love pretty much every Kings jerseys
Hands down the LA Kings have the best jerseys in the league. Go Kings Go!!!
As a Kings jersey collector, love your collection. At this point, I've completed the collection of all home and away sweaters and have been collecting practice and fashion jerseys. I'm up over 60 total in my collection now. And like you, most of the older jerseys were from ebay or other second hand places.
Nice hat; I’ve been a music photographer/journalist for nearly a decade and the first “bigger” show I covered was Seether with The Dead Deads opening.
Love the Ghost shirt THG. Just went to the concert on the 23rd of August in Pittsburgh. Killer show if u get the chance to go see them. Definitely a great concert considering it was my first one!
I will say that both of the Kings Reverse Retro jerseys are nice but I pick the RR 1.0 jersey more over than the RR 2.0 jersey
4:25 those are also my favorite Kings jerseys, though they went thru a period of switching up the logo with the same design. I *think* that originally the home/away had the shield logo and the 3rd had a crown , and that flipped eventually. I love the shield on the black (I have a Robitaille jersey in that configuration.

Amazing Kings jersey collection. Awesome!
3:35 the black jersey is 😍
Their best looking jersey they had was the chevy logo that gretz wore. The crest is cool, and purple is my favourite colour, but it's too busy for a pro hockey jersey
I like the purple but not the yellow. If they did something with their current look but incorporated purple highlights that would be a nice medium, though if people are adamant about the black and white I get that too
Absolutely love purple Kings jerseys
Love them 2 last RR, the purple is my fav. Although I own a lot of the Burger King jerseys
I love the burger king jerseys so much. I know most people hate them but I love them!
More purple agreed
The RR 2.0 and new alternate is insanely good. But man the silver sleeve on the alternate is itchy.
U are my hero love of the game Los Angeles kings always are fashionistas gkg. Vancouver v kings will always think of the captains meeting hit in the playoffs 2012
i have that Monarchs jersey , its one of my absolute favorites, i wish i had a white one to go with it
The original purple and gold jerseys are just perfect. The best of all the sweaters. Sorry, really hated the 'coat of arms' logo.
Love the crest jerseys the best ever. Great pick.
👍 GKG!! 👍
Love that Manchester sweater
THG being a ghost fan gives me life
3:30 Kings colors!
Would love for them to go back to the code of arms or og crown with some kind of purple would buy that in a second
I've always wished the Kings would bring back the early 00's crest logo as well. Love the colors over the black and white look
I really think they should do black-yellow-purple color scheme. Loved this series. I'm pretty sad we're almost at the end. You made me a jersey head a few years ago.
Didn't expect to see THG in a Ghost shirt, yet here we are
I'm biased but growing up in LA as a huge Raiders fan my favorite hands down are the classic Gretzky era silver and black with the Chevy logo. Love both the crown logo designs from the OG forum blue and gold to the early 2000s alternate purple and black ones that became the primary for a few years.

THG you gotta get one of the Cylon helmets!
The early 2000’s jerseys are nearly perfect, if it wasn’t for that unnecessary wordmark. But everything else (colours, striping, main crest, secondary logos, number and font) is still a unique look that I would love the Kings to go back to!
Shannon is the type of guy to wear a Kings jersey to a Canucks game and still root for the Canucks.
GKG
I just got a blank 90s lady liberty jersey and wanted to get it switched w a name on the back of it. I was curious how you get your jerseys stitched and where do you go
I wanna scoop up a brandt clarke and fiala jersey GKG
I concur kings best jerseys I like the caps 2nd then vegas
Loved the early 2000's set with the crown on the chest 👑👌
I really resented LA going for the Oakland Raider look. The LA King jersey was never my favourite but I liked how unique the purple and gold was. I hate the yellow jersey.
My first Table Hockey game I had all twelve NHL teams. Still kicking myself that over time they were lost. The King jersey was great. Everyone likes Black and Silver. Hate the black and silver.
The Burger King jersey was the all time best of the modern jersey looks...
I too enjoy the late 90s/early 00's look more than any other that the kings have had
Oh!
Please bring back the
Burger King jersey
Yo you got European jerseys?
Not a fan of their first jersey with the crown
These two 1:39, and these two 5:26, 11:04(white ones) are the best out off all the jerseys in their franchise history. Absolute perfection. The retro purple ones would look great except they put that ugly chevy logo on it. Worst logo in all of sports. Lol. Only thing worse is their homeplate crest that they have now. 🤮
I'm starting to think my favorite hockey guy is antichristian.
1:40 "Laker's colors".
Laker's colors?
Wrong, Wrong, Wrong!
Royal blue and gold, colors of royalty.
Kings colors!
What are lakers colors?
What in the frig is a laker anyway?
In Minnesota, I guess it makes sense. Land of 10,000 lakes.
In Los Angeles?
Land of...4 lakes? 5 lakes.
Makes not one damn bit of sense.
Those are Kings colors, OK?
Kings colors!
The Lakers were blue and white...but adopted the Kings colors scheme three years after moving to LA...
@rlosangeleskings Lakers were blue and white. That's correct.
When the Kings and Lakers started play at the Fabulous Forum, they both wore RB&G.
The Kings Forum blue and gold are Not Lakers colors! The Lakers were wearing Blue and white at the Sports arena and when the Forum was built they switched to the royal colors of Purple and gold and the Kings started with purple and gold so if anything the Lakers copied the Kings and yes you are on an island liking those ugly black and purple Staples Center era uniforms 🤮 🤮.
The Kings Stadium Series jersey is hella ugly
Please go back to the origional purple and gold all their other jerseys are the worst in the l league. UUUGly.
