Kings prepare to unveil jersey for 2015 Stadium Series game
/We're just two weeks away from seeing the jersey the Los Angeles Kings will wear for their 2015 NHL Stadium Series game.
The Team LA Store shared a photo on Instagram Monday night indicating "the big unveiling" is set for Tues., Dec. 16.
This news comes just a week after the Kings' video production crew, Kings Vision, tweeted a photo to get some buzz going.
Why would they need that short-lived 1996 third jersey to do make a video about their new Stadium Series jersey?
There's no chance the jersey seen in the photo will be seen on the ice in February. First, that would defeat the purpose of a tease. And second, this is the original from almost 20 years ago — clear from the jersey material and collar style.
So could the Kings have a replica of that "Burger King" jersey in the works? Maybe.
My best guess is that the final video will show a series of past Kings jerseys leading up to the reveal of the newest one.
But let's not forget that the Manchester Monarchs, the Kings' AHL affiliate, wore that jersey last season as part of a theme night.
The Kings played in the NHL Stadium Series last season. They hosted the Anaheim Ducks at Dodger Stadium wearing grey.
This season, they will visit the San Jose Sharks on Feb. 21 at Levi's Stadium, home of the NFL's San Francisco 49ers.
The Sharks have yet to announce an unveiling date for their jersey.
