Los Angeles Kings Unveil Surprise Crown Third Jersey on Opening Night

The heritage look reinterprets the 1967 crown in silver for a tightly scheduled 16-game run.

Overview

  • The team revealed the alternate without advance notice, warming up in primary black before switching to the new look at player introductions against the Avalanche.
  • The uniform features a black base with a silver recolor of the original 1967 crown, a silver helmet, shimmery silver striping, large silver names and numbers, and a lace-up black collar with the NHL shield.
  • The Kings will use the alternate 16 times this season, with 14 home dates and two road games, including a slate branded as Silver Saturdays.
  • Daily Faceoff reported that captain Anze Kopitar walked out last to the loudest ovation in what is described as his final NHL season.
  • The debut counted as the first wear in the program, and the next scheduled appearance is Oct. 18 after a road swing through Vegas, Winnipeg and Minnesota.
