Video: Kings Reveal Wayne Gretzky-Era Inspired Uniforms for 2024 NHL Season

The Los Angeles Kings are set to pay homage to an exciting era in their franchise history during the 2024-25 season.

The Kings revealed on Wednesday that the team will have legacy uniforms inspired by the Wayne Gretzky era of the early 1990s during the upcoming campaign:

The Kings unveiled their plans for a new look last week, stating that the updated logo "is a reimagined version of the iconic logo the Kings featured from 1988-1998 and now features an updated version of the original 'Kings Crown' from their inaugural season in Los Angeles." The classic logo originally debuted in 1988, the same year that Los Angeles acquired Gretzky from the Edmonton Oilers.

"This has been an extensive and collaborative process, and we are thrilled to roll this out to our fans and the city of Los Angeles," Kings President and Hockey Hall of Famer Luc Robitaille said. "This evolution is rooted in our 57-year history and embraces the elements of our eras. It also involved interface and feedback with players both past and present, and it sets the stage for extensions and new iterations in the future."

The acquisition of Gretzky helped increase the popularity of hockey in Los Angeles and propelled the Kings to success they hadn't previously experienced. The team won its first and only division title in the 1990-91 season and made its first appearance in the Stanley Cup Final in the 1992-93 campaign.

The Kings finished third in the Pacific Division this past season with a 44-27-11 record but lost to the Edmonton Oilers in the first round of the playoffs. The team will be seeking a deeper postseason run next year, and the players will look good in their new uniforms while chasing that goal.
