Back to black????

I'm very troubled by this smiley.

What the hell is it supposed to represent?

I get that it's someone "ROFL"ing... but what's the little doo-dad flailing about where the neck(?) is supposed to be?

Yeah it's supposed to be ROFL... now that you mention it is rather odd looking. I got it from RGM

You mean it's feet?

You mean it's feet?

Those feet would never support that head.

No wonder it's rolling on the floor -- it's not laughing, it's stuck!

Poor thing.

Hmm...and here I always thoughtits head was stuck directly on top of its hips...

It's a special ROFL gadget. You throw a handful of them behind you when Dr. Claw is hot on your heels, and he slips on them.

I was thinking that, too, actually.

I just sent off an email to the Kings. We'll see what kind of response I get. Here's what I said:

To whom it may concern:

I, along with a LOT of other long-time Kings fans, was thrilled to see the latest poll on Kings.com, where we were asked to indicate our favorite Kings jerseys. We were expecially gratified to see the option of the "away black" which was - for a lot of us - the BEST uniform the Kings have had in a very long time.

We discussed it at length among ourselves and it was a popular topic of discussion on several Kings message boards, including Kingsfans.com.

What we're wondering is why the black option, which was clearly the most popular with the fans, was suddenly and mysteriously removed. It certainly seems to indicate that Kings.com is trying to elicit a certain response or control the poll results.

Shame! Let the fans have their say. LISTEN to what we're telling you. We're the ones who spend the hundreds of $$$ buying those jerseys. We're the ones who wear those jerseys proudly to support our team. We're the ones who buy them for our friends and even our children. We're the ones who have been called the best fans in the NBA. Well, the best fans in the NBA would like to know why the most popular response on a poll on the official Kings website has simply disappeared without a trace or any kind of explanation.

If Maloof Sports is really interested in hearing the fans, then this should NEVER have happened.

Sincerely,

A life-long Kings fan

I got my answer. I'm certainly glad they clarified the whole thing.

Thank you very much for taking the time to write and share your feedback. We always appreciate hearing from great Kings fans like you. Thank you for participating in the poll and submitting your thoughts. We love the old black uniforms as well! However, the NBA has regulations on the colors of each team’s uniforms, and each team in the NBA, along with the Kings, try to incorporate as much of their team colors as possible.

We sincerely appreciate your feedback and will share your email with the appropriate people. Thanks again for writing.

GO KINGS!

Sincerely,
Kings.com

Translation:

Oops!

I am certainly glad they threw in that part about the Kings trying to incorporate as much of their team colors as possible. Because as we all know, our team colors must apparently be purple, white and gold and not the previously assumed purple, black and silver.

So, what choice did I have? I had to respond:

Thank you for your reply, although you really didn't answer my question about why the away black was listed on the poll to begin with.

I do have one additional comment however. You said "the NBA has regulations on the colors of each team’s uniforms, and each team in the NBA, along with the Kings, try to incorporate as much of their team colors as possible."

I don't really want to nitpick but that just defies logic. Our team colors are purple, black and silver.

Thanks again for your response.

GO KINGS!!!!

Way to go VF...

If not the black...
BRING BACK THE HALF AND HALF JERSEYS! Those are hands down the baddest throwback ever, IMO!

 

[VF21]

I couldn't help myself. They're trying to explain why we can't have black back and conveniently overlook the amazing technicolor gold lamé the Kings are forced to prance around in.

I couldn't resist one little jab. I'm sure they know what I'm talking about.

I think you speak for all of us. Hope it wakes someone up.


Not holding my breath about it, though.

Well, they DID add silver to those. Just to make extra sure they were ugly.

I had to check:

Which Kings jersey do you like the best?
Old School Baby Blue
34%
Home White
31%
Away Purple
21%
Alternative Gold
14%


let's hope you didn't just give them a reason to make Silver lame jerseys.

or purple/black/silver stripped jerseys.

You have a frightening imagination!
