If the jerseys are made from the "older" style cloth, bring it on. Every team should have a 2 week run where they wear retro, throwback jerseys. You couldn't be farther from the truth. As Dave points out, drab is not interesting, and having every team being blue , black or red (and having those shades be dark in general) makes teams look too similar and doesn't create brand recognition. Wow. a bright purple and gold hockey jerseys is the league's top seller? Who knew ? Doesn't hurt that Kobe is an NBA god, but still...when will the NHL learn? Non-traditional colors can complement the ones we are used to and help create an identity. It's such a slam dunk to have the Los Angeles Angels Jerseys in gold...it makes too much sense almost...Have the Kings in purple and gold...make the Canucks a permanent fixture in blue and green. Get Dallas back in green...I'm all for barber poles in Ottawa and Montl...when did it become a bad thing that you can ID the teams playing (on first glance...from far away) without having to look at the scoreboard? Dave, MP, and Michael have been saying EXACTLY the same thing that I have been saying for quite some time. I remember back in the good old 1980s of the 21-team NHL. Up until 1988, there were two home yellow-gold teams(Vancouver Canucks Jerseys & Kings), one away purple(Kings), two away greens(North Stars & Whalers), and just three away blacks(Canucks, Bruins, & Penguins). There was variety and simplicity in crests and uniform colours. There was none of this generic copycat nonsense. I don't really understand the reason for this. The Kings are not celebrating an anniversary, so why wear a throwback for a few games? What do the Kings have to do with the Vancouver Canucks history in that they will celebrate it with them in terms of throwbacks? Why not do this with the Buffalo Sabres (who are celebrating their 40th anniversary too) or this past season with Calgary (who celebrated their 30th anniversary)? I just don't get LA wearing throwbacks because Vancouver is celebrating an anniversary. It's very bothersome when I hear people in the hockey media knock the Canucks' and Kings' old home yellow-gold NHL Jerseys. Yes, the Canucks' Double Vs and the Kings yellow pants were gaudy, but not the colour schemes themselves. When there are two, even three yellows, it makes the rest of the whites look more unique. Michael is 1000% correct. The Lakers' original colours were white and double blue. If I stand correct, they took on the purple and gold the same year the Kings joined the NHL. What if Wayne Gretzky had worn the purple and gold unis? Nobody would have criticized them. I would also like to point out that if critics can call the NJ Devils old red and dark green MLB Jerseys as Christmas outfits, then why not call the Red Wing uniforms Santa Claus outfits, right? Sounds pretty double standard. I don't really understand the reason for this. The Kings are not celebrating an anniversary, so why wear a throwback for a few games? What do the Kings have to do with the Vancouver Canucks history in that they will celebrate it with them in terms of throwbacks? Why not do this with the Buffalo Sabres (who are celebrating their 40th anniversary too) or this past season with Calgary (who celebrated their 30th anniversary)? I just don't get LA wearing throwbacks because Vancouver is celebrating an anniversary.
