Jerseys? (Merged)
- Thread starter *JW*
- Start date
I wouldn't be caught dead wearing those colors related to any Kings gear. This is the worst color combination they could have chosen.
Again, if the color on the actual unis is actually a gold/copper color that doesn't translate onto the game well, I would probably feel different. But from what I see, blech.

On the Pacers site (http://www.nba.com/pacers/) they show their new unis for the '05 and '06 season, the Pacers' uniforms are not the same as the one that is in the picture with the "new" kings jerseys, so maybe there is hope that they will not look like this!!!

Wow. Many thanks to the genius who thought this up. I can see it now; "Hey, you like the kings? Haha! They're trying to copy the Lakers!! hahaha!! I told you Kobe was better than the Kings, kobe owns the Kings!!11"
Oh my goodness. I'm considering hiding my Kings alliance to all who don't know it yet in LA. It'll be the Mcgrady and "Melo jersey only from now on.
......
All i know is, my face will not be shown after the Kings wear..this ..thing.

Glossy or metallic gold?
I'm going to share a dream I had the night before last:
I'm sitting in Arco with my dear friend Kingsgurl. (And interestingly enough, I'm sitting in 1kingzfan's seat ).
The lights dim, the crowd stands and roars with anticipation...
And then, as the loudspeakers begin to blare the new theme song for the team, here they come...
With brilliant gold lamé uniforms, old-fashioned high top sneakers (looking as though they were sprayed gold) and purple headbands with gold rhinestones forming crowns. They run to the center of the court and dance around...to the strains of "Macho Man."
---------------------------------------------------
Not to belabor the point, but I am a Kings fan to the bone. I LOVE THIS TEAM! If I'm thinking things like that, can you imagine what the Laker fans are going to be able to come up with?
...sigh...

Funny, I always though the Lakers wore yellow. Guess you learn something new every day.
I saw this post in another thread on that board.
I work at Best Buy in Katy a little sub of Houston. Brian Skinner came in real chill playing some XBOX and bsing. I went up to him shook his hand he was real chill real cool kinda goofy but cool. Any game you recommended for him to buy he would just pick it up and say cool haha. He had a tongue ring and I asked him about basketball and his Kings. He said he has to go to training camp in Sac somewhere he said on Tuesday I think he said with a SIGH. Laid back guy asked about the Kings on the addition he loves Bonzi and Shareef said it was good and that they lost Mobley. Asked about him starting he said he cant cause "they love their 70 million dollar white boy way to damn much". HAHA that I found funny as hell also said he is injury prone so he will get in many starts and he felt he played real good after the trade..

It will probably end up being a tempest in a teapot around here, too...
My initial reaction was ARGH!!! My after-the-fact reaction is still ARGH!!! and I definitely won't be adding a gold jersey to my ensemble. In the end, however, as a couple of people have pointed out, it could be worse. They could look like the "taxicab" checkerboard jerseys of a few years back.
Bottom line is that I think the marketing strategy was ill-advised and I don't think the gold jerseys will become fan favorites.
I still HATE them but I'm not going to slit my wrists over them. I started the poll; the Kings organization is aware of our initial reactions. Once the unis are actually seen on the players, it might be different; it might not.
The Maloofs are pretty shrewd businessmen. If people don't buy the gold jerseys, they won't be around that long. At some point in time, far in the future, we might even be talking during TDOS about the season where the gold unis ended up breaking the jinx and getting us the title. Now wouldn't that be interesting?
GO KINGS!!!!!
