2011-2018
Los Angeles Kings
THE STORY
Purple’s second reign with the Kings came to an end following the 2010-2011 season after they brought back the color from their earlier years for the 1998-99 season after a 10-year absence. Continuing the retro rotation, the Kings went back to the colors that had the original purple: black and silver. The logo a combination of several past logos -- the shield, the crown; the newest addition was the large “LA” featured prominently in the top half of the design. Black and silver apparently are the more successful colors in Kings history. After making their first Stanley Cup Final appearance in the monochromatic color scheme in 1993, the Kings won their first and second Stanley Cup championships wearing the same colors in these uniforms in 2012 and 2014.
