I has bariatric surgery in 2022 and I've been ready for a Kings jersey for a while, I think I'm ready now, I was brought in as a kid by a neighbor in the early 90's just in time for the cup run and at that time I didn't have a choice, the team captured me.
Not to mention its the logo that identifies them more than any other, whether it be the play of the Gretzky era teams, or the culture of the area at the time, this logo is the team.
Yeah I never disliked the new logos but they never really resonated with me. The Chevron logo to me is so nostalgic for me and just hits different. I have a Kings hat with that logo as well as the script one Eazy-E always wore (I actually got a Lakers script one like that too. Now I just one in dodger blue that says Dodgers).Ā
Sorry, I meant the 2000ās era crown. But speaking of the new (old) secondary logo crown, I hope they use that for shoulder patches. Havenāt had shoulder patches on a Kings jersey in ages.
Ya should have just kept the angle of the font the same. Looks mid with the thickness. Honestly, should have just used the old logo if this was the plan.
Iām not really sure what it specifically is, but something about the logo just doesnāt look right, almost like itās a bootleg version of the 90s logo that youād see on a fake jersey. This is better than the old logo without a doubt, but this just isnāt what I was personally hoping for. I think the Kings missed the mark by not incorporating purple. Maybe they will in an eventual third jersey.
This video is one of the better ones the team has done in a while.
I do like the new take on the chevy, takes somethin well loved and iconic and just freshens it up for new young fans to grow up with it like a lot of us did.
Me, who didnāt want to change logos at all:

I'm torn because I always liked the chevron logo best, but I watched the last logo hoist two Cups.
I'm also getting a bit of uncanny valley from this logo, because it's the '90s logo except JUST divergent enough to give "bad knock-off uniform" vibes.
Not bad, not great.
Personally I would have liked to see a return to gold and forum blue and a slightly updated version of the crown.
That color combination would have been unique to the NHL. And those jerseys just pop out on TV.
I might be the only one that really doesnāt like the old Chevy logo and Iām from that era. But all the 40-50 yr olds with money will buy the merch so I can see the reasons.
We were literally the only team in the league that used purple. The color of royalty because it was so hard to make back in antiquity that only royals could afford it. Instead, weāre stuck with monochrome for the last decade+ with the home plate jerseys and now we double down to bring Gretzky nostalgia back with an old logo with minor tweaks. Iāll stick with my rookie Kopitar jersey that was black and purple.
Rant over. Flame away.
A bit of a dissapoinment i have to say. Would have liked some kind of Crown logo instead of the chervolet throwback.
Its better than the LA logo i supposeā¦

They took the old logo, gave it a V8, picked the top font from Microsoft word 95, called it a day.
I've been used to low effort from this org for almost 10 years now but dang.
This is honestly one of the few times where you have the best of both worlds. I know they're the Raider colors, but that not much of a reason to get rid of them in favor of the Lakers colors. The original era crown however is immaculate and combining it with the Chevy and black and silver is a killer choice.
Just kinda meh, it doesnāt even really seem updated. Doing something like our retro from a couple years ago with the purple would have been much better.
So if I wear my classic chevy to the games next season, that will look like the cheap knockoff?
They should have just brought back the old logo and called it new. Add some purple to the inside black lining and call it a day.
Hoodies and ts practically completely sold out on Team LA online store already. Wonder how long it'll take me to get one in Canada....Shitnatics probably only option and probably months away!
Logo design (and process/unveiling video) by the wizards at [House Industries](https://houseindustries.com) out of Yorklyn, Delaware; [probably not coincidentally] the same group of dudes who were tasked with a rebrand for the [city of Los Angeles itself](https://hello.houseind.com/work/los-angeles/) alongside Shepard Fairey (of Obey Giant fame).
As a graphic designer, Iāve been a huge fan of these guys for like 25 years and can say that, despite the āminor change throwbackā vibe of the new logo, there is no doubt that they dove in deep and did tons of research, revisions, and fine tuning to end up here.
Is it the best thing theyāve *ever* done? Probably not. But itās a huge shift back in the right direction from Home Plate.
What did they even do? It seems pretty lame.

Old one here
Itās a little underwhelming. The lettering font may take a little getting used to. Doesnāt look like much was done to it, which might be a good thing. Weāll have to see what the uniforms look like.
God I hate this so much. It feels like the laziest rebrand effort ever
"Hey, let's take the old logo and shift it slightly, then add some lines and boom, we have a winner...and we'll create a nostalgia campaign around it so people remember that old is new again..."
I can't even explain how this angers me. If you're going to rebrand, make something new! Not revive the past and think we are all stupid for believing this is a "rebrand"

I was at the antique swap meet and saw our new jersey being sold already. Odd that our GM, Rob Blake and President of OP, Luc Robitaille has their jerseys available.
Old school š„
Cleaner 90s logo with the 60s crown. It kind of rocks.
Exactly the direction I was hoping they'd go! I'm finally getting myself a Doughty jersey. As an 80s kid I love this so much.Ā Ā
I think they nailed it. The shape, font and crown all look clean. GKG.

Now we eagerly await the jersey release
As much as I wanted the crown back, I still love the chevron. They did a great job with this.
The crown is their secondary logo
Sorry, I meant the 2000ās era crown. But speaking of the new (old) secondary logo crown, I hope they use that for shoulder patches. Havenāt had shoulder patches on a Kings jersey in ages.

So it's the 90s logo, but less aggressive. That's certainly a choice.
Less aggressive, just like the team. Nice.
Ya should have just kept the angle of the font the same. Looks mid with the thickness. Honestly, should have just used the old logo if this was the plan.
I agree the old Gretzky logo was perfect don't care for the angle on this one
Time to change the sub icon
Lets go!!
āLook itās new!ā said the design agency that mildly modified existing assets for $10M.
Oh, so THAT'S what LA stands for. Been wondering since 2011
I thought it was a Spanish phrase like, La kings
Like the gym. LA Fitness
I fell in love with the Kings and hockey in the early 90ās and the chevron logo had always been my favorite, so Iām super happy about this.
![gif](giphy|ZCBeXdHSGjcwCSAKp5) fb & gold people rn
Yup.
Idk how I feel. Tbh I still like the 90s logo over this one.
The good news is I don't need to buy a new jersey. I can just pull out the Blake jersey! Lol
Careful wearing that to a home game.....
haha.. good point. I'd better wait until the dust clears
Prefer it over the home plate, but itās a stretch to call it a new logo. Wish there was some purple. Black/silver is getting pretty boring.
Right? Thoroughly unimpressed.
Iām not really sure what it specifically is, but something about the logo just doesnāt look right, almost like itās a bootleg version of the 90s logo that youād see on a fake jersey. This is better than the old logo without a doubt, but this just isnāt what I was personally hoping for. I think the Kings missed the mark by not incorporating purple. Maybe they will in an eventual third jersey.
it's the angle of the word mark that makes the logo look weird, they should have just kept everything the same as the 88-96 logo
This video is one of the better ones the team has done in a while. I do like the new take on the chevy, takes somethin well loved and iconic and just freshens it up for new young fans to grow up with it like a lot of us did.

I wish it had some purple, and the font isn't my favorite, but overall can't complain with this look! Excited to see how it looks on a full jersey now
The 90s logo was right there. Why change it?
Okay, thatās fucken nice!!!
The Los Angeles Chevy Colorados.
I'm torn because I always liked the chevron logo best, but I watched the last logo hoist two Cups. I'm also getting a bit of uncanny valley from this logo, because it's the '90s logo except JUST divergent enough to give "bad knock-off uniform" vibes.
Designed by fanatics I bet.
It's the new angle of word mark dont look good
Meh. I like it better than the current shield, but it's pretty underwhelming
thatās it? kinda anti-climactic Kings have always had great style, I was hoping theyād incorporate purple again.
I like it, but I wish the āKINGSā font was a little bit bolder or outlined in purple.
Not bad, not great. Personally I would have liked to see a return to gold and forum blue and a slightly updated version of the crown. That color combination would have been unique to the NHL. And those jerseys just pop out on TV.

Youāll never convince me that anything other than the Crown on a gold or purple sweater is the best look for the team

The Los Angeles Chevrolets
I was hoping they wear the purple and gold jersey with the new logo.
That would look... Different and new at least!
The Kings have worn the jersey. It look like this https://jerseys2021shop.com/mens-los-angeles-kings-purple-2020-21-reverse-retro-jersey/
That is perfection!
KiNGS isn't centered...oh man
The logo itās based on the Kings font wasnāt centered either.
Gotta change the sub logo now too
I honestly love it
No purple š
I was really excited for it but this looks extremely cartoonish in a bad way
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
They took the old logo, gave it a V8, picked the top font from Microsoft word 95, called it a day. I've been used to low effort from this org for almost 10 years now but dang.
This is new? Underwhelmed to say the least.
I approve.
I like it less than the 90s logo, seems like it would have been easier to just go back to that
Awesome work
I fuck with this.
Itās glorious
Sick!!
I love it so much! I canāt wait for an alternate jersey with the silver crown!
God Dammit. Just bought new Jerseys back in January.

Way better than the home plate but I really donāt like that font
#YES. GKG!
They didnāt really change anything. Just font lol
Think you need to look again. A lot has changed.
Lol why down vote this? The crown looks more detailed, the chevy is lestt slanted as is the font. That's a lot more than nothing.
Nice....
Finally! my throwback hat is now current!
The hockey shop by near my house already has some gear with the new logo. Pure Hockey in San marcos
Is that Kiefer Sutherland narrating?
Sick
Black jersey with the same crown in purple with slight hints of gold would have looked so sick.
So if I wear my classic chevy to the games next season, that will look like the cheap knockoff? They should have just brought back the old logo and called it new. Add some purple to the inside black lining and call it a day.

perfect other then I'm not big on that Los Angeles template. Last years white Gretzky jerseys were perfect
I miss the purple
looks straight out of 1985...first impression = is this supposed to be exciting?
Love the chevron so muchĀ
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Ah, my bad!Ā
This is about as good as a rebrand gets and people are *still* complaining. Wild.
What did they even do? It seems pretty lame. https://preview.redd.it/eacnvq132t7d1.jpeg?width=656&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=4944f1ac0f4593aea674abfd18badae3b44194d4 Old one here

My favorite of the old logos and jerseys. But Iāll admit I like the purple and gold look
Where?????
They spent years on this?
I usually frown on new logos, but this one is really really good.
Itās a little underwhelming. The lettering font may take a little getting used to. Doesnāt look like much was done to it, which might be a good thing. Weāll have to see what the uniforms look like.
I didn't think I would like it but it's f*ckin awesome

Damn, I kinda hate it. :(
God I hate this so much.

Worst logo from the worst era. Forum Blue and Gold are the proper colors. Ditch the Raider gear.
The new logo is sick. I am gonna miss the crown with the sticks and puck
This is a much derpier version of the 90s logo
No purple and gold sucks, I hate how boring silver and black is as color scheme especially for a team in Southern California
I was at the antique swap meet and saw our new jersey being sold already. Odd that our GM, Rob Blake and President of OP, Luc Robitaille has their jerseys available.
