I’ll have some of Simon Gagne’s comments from today’s lunch posted shortly, but for now, here’s a video interview he did with Daryl Evans today, plus a couple pictures (courtesy of LAKings.com) that were taken when Bob Miller presented Gagne with his new Kings jersey in El Segundo…
Awesome! Now let’s get Mike Richards in one of these jerseys!

@puddle,
Good to see him eating. As skinny as he’s gotten over the last few years, I was wondering if he even ate during the day. lol

@taz42, and you aint whistling Dixie, as he looked like he could still play at camp Wednesday. I keep telling myself he just has good genes, no 40 year old looks that way.

@tim chaney,
Different types of players. Brad would of been awsome, but Gagne will fit in better overall I think. Brad did make a huge mistake by choosing New York, and he won’t even realize it till he see’s Gagne lifting the cup, and he’s playing golf early next summer.

@tim chaney, Brad’s a very good player, but value wise plus our specific needs … Gagne is the better pick up imho.
[Reply]
Ugh. I like seeing Gagne in a Kings’ jersey. Just not that one.

@The Batman, Methinks a lot of NEW fans like the new rags. I don’t think so many of us HATE them so much as felt they were maybe O.K. for a 3rd jersey, but as a primary,,,, UGH!!!!
Go Kings

@YoBro, No, I just hate them. LOL
seriously I don’t mind, I just think the logo could of been more hockey oriented. At least something that has to do with a King, like a crown, or a shield, or anything but a baseball diamond.

Has there been an ‘official’ announcement on the jersey/logo change?

@Anjin, They showed the road jersey at the draft, and on the Staples 3D Seat Viewer for tickets, they have the new logo at center ice instead of the old crown.. At this point I’d say it’s 100%.

@Bluecoconuts, And Team LA is now selling the personalized new road whites, which i think is ugly. i liked it they way it was with the 2 main jerseys and the 3rd jersey and even the purple throwbacks. too bad the purple and crown are now gone. that LA logo is lame

ANY TEAM that contracts out the FRANCHISE UNIFORM/DESIGN to a bunch of 18-24 year old FIDM ‘daddy’s girls’ should think twice…
IMHO… The Black/Silver/White should only be worn by “The Gretzky Era Kings,” a generation ago.. And, the thug ‘almost ready for prime time’ (not) footballers up in Alameda County.
