PHOTO: Kings' Stadium Series jersey could pay homage to Silver & Black era
The Los Angeles Kings are reportedly set to be back in grey for their 2015 NHL Stadium Series game against the San Jose Sharks at Levi's Stadium on Feb. 21.
According to a report from John Hoven of Mayor's Manor, the Kings' jerseys will mark a significant departure from their usual attire.
Hoven added a few other notes:
- Barring a last minute change, the white pants are staying. However, the use of white gloves may or may not end up happening.
- The official unveiling will take place at a special season-ticket-holder event to be held at the new Team LA Store inside Staples Center on Tuesday, Dec. 16. Fans in attendance will be able to purchase the jersey, at a discounted price, that same evening.
- If you don’t plan on attending the game at Levi’s Stadium next February, you will have one more opportunity to see the Kings play in their Stadium Series jersey live. The team will wear them against the Sharks, at Staples Center, in their final regular season home game on April 11.
To our eye it looks as if the Kings are paying tribute to the "Silver & Black" era that began with the arrival of Wayne Gretzky in 1988 and stuck around as the team's primary sweater for a decade.
