Check out the new Reebok jerseys!
I took these pictures from the Kings Draft party this past Friday. As far as I know, I was one of the few press people to actually photograph them up close. They were shown off later that night.
Several changes to the new jerseys: the striping is gone off the bottom of the jersey. Now the Los Angeles text just floats at the bottom of the jersey. The collar is different as well, coming to a point, rather than the old style. The jerseys were considerably lighter than the older ones, but still seemed sturdy enough to go onto battle on the ice. The mesh connecting the arms to the bottom may look like a lighter hue, but I assure you, it's not. Other than the lack of the bottom stripe, they look pretty much the same.
I wasn't too sure what to expect I was told they were at the party. I recalled seeing several people's proposed design ideas for the jerseys, so I dug upmine, and I have to say... I should go into the jersey design business.
Well, maybe not. I'm not overwhelmed by them. Actually, my next jersey will be a personalized Rob Blake Black throwback jersey.
Matt Murray has been a Kings fan since the late '80s, when Wayne Gretzky grabbed headlines by defecting to the West Coast. Since then, he has been a card-carrying bandwagon member as the club soared in popularity with their sole Stanley Cup appearance to their position near the bottom of the Pacific. But things are looking brighter, as he is anxious to witness the rise of the new Kings.

Well your proposed ones weren't bad but how about a little gold?! The new ones are totally boring they look like practice jerseys and talk about black and white?!!

Fixed the comment field.
In settings > Publishing > Preferred Archive Type .... was set to Individual but below that under "Archive Mapping" Individual Entry archive was not selected.
As a result a person could not actually click on the story. The page was directing the reader to the calendar date which would show all posts for that date 1 or more.
Without Individual Entry Archive selected the comment field didn't import to the page.
Later,
Joe
