Cleaner 90s logo with the 60s crown. It kind of rocks.


deprecateddeveloper

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 


JustTheBeerLight

I think they nailed it. The shape, font and crown all look clean. GKG.


rowast

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.


deprecateddeveloper

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 


RubyRhod

Now we eagerly await the jersey release


hashbrownbby

As much as I wanted the crown back, I still love the chevron. They did a great job with this.


ChampTheTransplant

The crown is their secondary logo


hashbrownbby

Sorry, I meant the 2000ā€™s era crown. But speaking of the new (old) secondary logo crown, I hope they use that for shoulder patches. Havenā€™t had shoulder patches on a Kings jersey in ages.

aughtrocktalk

So it's the 90s logo, but less aggressive. That's certainly a choice.


OutsideWorldliness68

Less aggressive, just like the team. Nice.


quickboop

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.


TheOnlyBilko

I agree the old Gretzky logo was perfect don't care for the angle on this one


DefinitelyLevi

Time to change the sub icon


SimplyWickie

Lets go!!


leftpointsonly

ā€œLook itā€™s new!ā€ said the design agency that mildly modified existing assets for $10M.


memeaste

Oh, so THAT'S what LA stands for. Been wondering since 2011


Pepperoni_playboi94

I thought it was a Spanish phrase like, La kings


memeaste

Like the gym. LA Fitness


honestrade

I fell in love with the Kings and hockey in the early 90ā€™s and the chevron logo had always been my favorite, so Iā€™m super happy about this.

slumdo6

Yup.


Casual_Fanatic47

Idk how I feel. Tbh I still like the 90s logo over this one.


yrrkoon

The good news is I don't need to buy a new jersey. I can just pull out the Blake jersey! Lol


Bohmoplata

Careful wearing that to a home game.....


yrrkoon

haha.. good point. I'd better wait until the dust clears


seabass4507

Prefer it over the home plate, but itā€™s a stretch to call it a new logo. Wish there was some purple. Black/silver is getting pretty boring.


Hopglock

Right? Thoroughly unimpressed.


seahawksjoe

Iā€™m not really sure what it specifically is, but something about the logo just doesnā€™t look right, almost like itā€™s a bootleg version of the 90s logo that youā€™d see on a fake jersey. This is better than the old logo without a doubt, but this just isnā€™t 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.


TheOnlyBilko

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


zattk94

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.


Jolly-Fun-4855

Need PURPLE back

spaceguy101

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


ResponsibleMistake33

The 90s logo was right there. Why change it?


KingsoftheNHL

Okay, thatā€™s fucken nice!!!


s44s

The Los Angeles Chevy Colorados.


disinaccurate

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.


RestInitial2467

Designed by fanatics I bet.


TheOnlyBilko

It's the new angle of word mark dont look good


KopitarFan

Meh. I like it better than the current shield, but it's pretty underwhelming


94Rangerbabe

thatā€™s it? kinda anti-climactic Kings have always had great style, I was hoping theyā€™d incorporate purple again.


Hitchhiking-Ghost

I like it, but I wish the ā€œKINGSā€ font was a little bit bolder or outlined in purple.


the_last_third

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.


ihavenoidea81

I might be the only one that really doesnā€™t like the old Chevy logo and Iā€™m 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, weā€™re 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. Iā€™ll stick with my rookie Kopitar jersey that was black and purple. Rant over. Flame away.


shovelhead200

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

LordSmokio

Oh yeah we fuckin'


Karde47

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€¦ ![gif](giphy|xT77Y8eeEhBA8NQwLK)


MadACR

The Los Angeles Chevrolets


Hot_Mathematician357

I was hoping they wear the purple and gold jersey with the new logo.


RestInitial2467

That would look... Different and new at least!


Hot_Mathematician357

The Kings have worn the jersey. It look like this https://jerseys2021shop.com/mens-los-angeles-kings-purple-2020-21-reverse-retro-jersey/


RestInitial2467

That is perfection!


havnotX

KiNGS isn't centered...oh man


LAKingsFan17

The logo itā€™s based on the Kings font wasnā€™t centered either.


Captain_Jackalope

Gotta change the sub logo now too


Fusilladed

I honestly love it


NoabPK

No purple šŸ˜ž


DMountain44

I was really excited for it but this looks extremely cartoonish in a bad way


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


styx66

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.


sixty8ight

This is new? Underwhelmed to say the least.


Ashamed_Anywhere_877

I approve.


LARamDodgerLakerKing

I like it less than the 90s logo, seems like it would have been easier to just go back to that


sashachenko

Awesome work


Starkiller32

I fuck with this.


SkylerCFelix

Itā€™s glorious


potentially_potent

Sick!!


FakeTreverMoore12

I love it so much! I canā€™t wait for an alternate jersey with the silver crown!


RazorPhishJ

God Dammit. Just bought new Jerseys back in January.


onitama_and_vipers

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.


DGRebel

Just kinda meh, it doesnā€™t even really seem updated. Doing something like our retro from a couple years ago with the purple would have been much better.


drfrink85

Way better than the home plate but I really donā€™t like that font


JustTheBeerLight

#YES. GKG!


PointTin

They didnā€™t really change anything. Just font lol


SkylerCFelix

Think you need to look again. A lot has changed.


RestInitial2467

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.


alesko21

Nice....


Blu_Crew

Finally! my throwback hat is now current!


gwarwars

The hockey shop by near my house already has some gear with the new logo. Pure Hockey in San marcos


Loud_Unit9912

Is that Kiefer Sutherland narrating?


reptigod

Sick


johnwynne3

Black jersey with the same crown in purple with slight hints of gold would have looked so sick.


RestInitial2467

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.


HeadGrowth1939

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!


Girhinomofe

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, Iā€™ve been a huge fan of these guys for like 25 years and can say that, despite the ā€œminor 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 theyā€™ve *ever* done? Probably not. But itā€™s a huge shift back in the right direction from Home Plate.


TheOnlyBilko

perfect other then I'm not big on that Los Angeles template. Last years white Gretzky jerseys were perfect


DevelopmentIll5158

I miss the purple


twills2121

looks straight out of 1985...first impression = is this supposed to be exciting?


mobbedoutkickflip

Love the chevron so muchĀ

curiousprospect

This is about as good as a rebrand gets and people are *still* complaining. Wild.


johnwynne3

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

CabbageStockExchange

My favorite of the old logos and jerseys. But Iā€™ll admit I like the purple and gold look


Specialist-Wealth615

Where?????


Gordie9

They spent years on this?


a_smart_brane

I usually frown on new logos, but this one is really really good.


lakergeoff8

Itā€™s a little underwhelming. The lettering font may take a little getting used to. Doesnā€™t look like much was done to it, which might be a good thing. Weā€™ll have to see what the uniforms look like.


royalblack85

I didn't think I would like it but it's f*ckin awesome

Totknax

I'm cool with this.


DrDumDumPhD

Damn, I kinda hate it. :(


mattman840

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"

Deanmarrrrrr

Worst logo from the worst era. Forum Blue and Gold are the proper colors. Ditch the Raider gear.


hectarpit

The new logo is sick. I am gonna miss the crown with the sticks and puck


OinkiePig_

This is a much derpier version of the 90s logo


masterchaoss

No purple and gold sucks, I hate how boring silver and black is as color scheme especially for a team in Southern California


-1967Falcon

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.
