Los Angeles Kings
Kings fans are a certain type of loyal. It’s not fair weather. It weathered the lean years and the rebuilds and painful losses and came out the other side with two Stanley Cup banners hanging from the rafters of Crypto. com Arena and a fanbase that never had to be convinced once. Finding something for that person isn’t actually difficult when you know where to look. The problem is most gift guides aren’t written by people who know where to look.
That’s why we put this collection together. Kings fans deserve better than whatever black and silver shirt or mug is sitting on a shelf in the gift shop at some airport. The people we pictured while curating these gifts are the ones that have watched Wayne Gretzky All-Star game highlights more times than they want to admit, that remember the Miracle on Manchester like it was yesterday instead of anything pre-Yzerman, that know what Dustin Brown meant to that franchise and don’t need you to explain HLSLB to them. That level of specificity is important to us. We want it to be important to you as well.
All of these items were hand selected by us. Not because they were easily found or they simply had the logo on it and we felt like that was enough. We asked ourselves if a true Kings fan would want this. If they would give it a proper nerd screamed reaction or a polite thank you. Any gifts that got the latter reaction got kicked aside. All that’s left are things we would package up ourselves and feel confident handing over to yourself.
Whether you’re buying for the Kings fan who grew up in LA, the ones who discovered hockey later in life and fell in love with this team in particular or the ones who have been season ticket holders since before you knew they should buy games. Whether it’s their birthday or Christmas or they’re just on a playoff run that’s making you want to buy things for the people you love. None of that matters. All that matters is you giving them something as significant as how much they actually care about this team.
And Kings fans don’t act like they care about this team. They just do. Each gift in this collection has been chosen to offer that same level of authenticity. Considered. Specific. Worth wrapping properly.
