I know the Dodger fans who read this blog are wondering, "well, how about us True Blue fans?" And, yes, we Dodger fans are a passionate group, but as many of you know the fanaticism of your run-of-the-mill Kings hockey fan is something entirely different. After all, when you choose to be a Kings fans in an area filled with so many other options you can't help but wear your pride on your sleeve. Add the fact that we are a long suffering bunch only amplifies the passion. So, tonight we will arrive in downtown LA for the first home game in a first round match up against the San Jose Sharks. Yes, the rivalry between north and south even extends to hockey. It will be a loud and raucous affair filled with black laden fans (fans are being encouraged to wear black- a veritable "Black Out"), a live band (The Briggs will be performing their song "This is LA"), and a local team that has so far controlled most of the action on the ice this series.

As a true Kings fan the "Medieval Times" logo introduced this year is yet another example of King's marketing inability to build any kind of tradition. The colors of the Kings will always be "Purple and Gold" and not some hacked up logo that looks like home plate! For more on this see an excellent post by @KingsKoolAid at sbn.to/fvib0l
ReplyDeletei couldn't agree more. i'm a big fan of the old purple and gold. i figure since tonight is suppose to be a "black out" this logo is appropriate
