hrdboild said:I can dig it. Something a little different to mix things up. That's dull gold I guess? Certainly not a traditional color combination, but I'm not going to be all close-minded and call it ugly. Ugliness is mostly a cultural simulacrum anyway. It's hard to look edgy or mean when you've got purple on all your uniforms. The white and purple uniforms certainly don't help to dissuade the "Queens" moniker. But even so, while I appreciate the "thinking outside the box" approach, at this point I'm still glad this isn't the the new full-time uniform. It's enough of a novelty to work for a half dozen games or so throughout the season.
The brown, yellow, and orange. ummummgood. my favorite padres unirforms to date.Diabeticwonder said:They could wear the Padres uniforms from the 1980's and if they won the title I wouldn't care.

I will never hear the end of this from my laker friend rivals.
The design itself is wonderful. It is the colors. That would be a nice jersey if the main color was black, and the stripes were purple and silver. Can anyone photoshop that design onto this hideous one.SiliconBreakfast said:HA, that's what I was thinking. Can't wait to hear my die-hard-Laker-fan of a step dad talk smack.
They really aren't that bad, just not the color scheme I picture the Kings wearing. I need to see the shorts though. Can we get an in game screen shot?
Diabeticwonder said:My sentiments exactly. The powder blue unis that they wore a number of times last year didn't do much for me, but for a few games here and there it wasn't all that bad. However, I am a bit concerned or amazed as to how "gold" became the prominent color on these uniforms when a certain team down south has gold as their color. Oh well, when it's all said and done it's about wins and losses and I'm confident that the team up north will have more wins than the team down south. They could wear the Padres uniforms from the 1980's and if they won the title I wouldn't care.
As an aside, this whole "gold" thing may be an attempt by the Kings to make a connection to the city of Sacramento and its history; the discovery of gold.
If they were going for a Sacramento connection, they could have at least used the color copper to represent the cowbells of old.VF21 said:If the whole "gold" thing was an attempt by the Kings to make a connection to the city of Sacramento and its history, they might as well have put them in giant tomato suits.

It might have been a very good idea to begin with - but (to repeat again) the colors are ALREADY taken!
