The Buffalo Sabres have announced their return to royal. The goal with the new uniforms was to pay respect to the team’s heritage with a modern look to carry them into the future.
The inner neck of the jersey pays homage to the city of Buffalo with the city’s official crest being displayed. The uniforms will feature a new striping pattern that received its inspiration from the previous stripes but with the addition of some white pipping on top of the gold stripes. The crest is front and center of the jersey and has been simplified from the original by the removal of the silver accents.
“Returning to our beloved royal blue was just the start - we wanted to create something truly unique. To do that, we needed to identify key elements that harken back to what's made this franchise so special through the years.” - Sabres
The Seattle Kraken will be the NHL’s 32nd club. The team unveiled their new logos that feature two marks, the Kraken S and the Space Needle Anchor, along with the official wordmark. The team will have three different blues to work with as well as touch of red. The S logo was inspired by the Seattle Metropolitans of the Pacific Coast Hockey Association from 1915-1924.
“We went through a lot of iterations with Adidas. The colors are quite unique. You’ll see a bit of the Mariners and a bit of the Seahawks. There are no teams in the NHL — I think Edmonton has one jersey that has this type of blue in it — that have this as their main colors. But there are seven teams in the NHL that have the same red. So, it was kind of difficult to go in that direction.” -NHL Seattle minority owner Mitch Garber
The LA Kings have revealed their special edition Stadium Series uniforms. The look gives off a very futuristic, sleek look inspired by the Air Force Academy’s angular architecture and aircrafts. On the front of the jersey is a new LA crest that is angled upwards and inspired by the aircraft’s battle stripes. The special font and numbering was drawn from the architecture of the venue's Air Force Academy, as well as the pilot's ambition to push to the edge. On inside of the neckline of the jersey is a checkerboard pattern with Kings written in the special font. To finish off the look the team will wear chrome helmets that will pop in the outdoor setting for the game.
We will see the Kings will hit the ice in the special uniform Saturday, February 15, when they take on the Colorado Avalanche at the Air Force Academy's Falcon Stadium in Colorado Springs, Colorado and again on February 29 when they host the New Jersey Devils at STAPLES Center.

To add another nod to St. Louis the stitching throughout the jersey will be silver thread, inspired by the iconic Gateway Arch.
