1967 Kings Inaugural Season Fitted: New Era Drops Black and Green 59FIFTY Tribute

Hockey history comes alive with this stunning Black Los Angeles Kings Green Bottom 1967 Inaugural Season Side Patch New Era 59FIFTY Fitted, now available at exclusive_fitted for $49.99. This commemorative piece celebrates the birth of hockey in Los Angeles, when the Kings took the ice for their very first season in 1967-68. The black crown paired with that distinctive green undervisor creates a unique colorway that stands out from typical Kings gear, while the inaugural season side patch serves as a badge of honor for the franchise’s humble beginnings.

The 1967 expansion brought six new teams to the NHL, doubling the league’s size and bringing hockey to new markets like Los Angeles. The Kings’ inaugural season was a true adventure, playing their home games at the legendary Long Beach Arena before moving to The Forum. Perhaps most fascinating is that the team’s original colors were actually purple and gold to match the Lakers, but this black and green combination gives us a fresh take on that historic era. The Kings finished their first season with a respectable 31-33-10 record, proving that hockey could indeed work in sunny California.

For fitted collectors, this piece represents more than just headwear, it’s a tangible connection to the moment when hockey planted its roots on the West Coast. The inaugural season patch makes this particularly special, as it commemorates not just any season, but the very beginning of Kings hockey. With New Era’s premium 59FIFTY construction and that eye-catching green bottom, this fitted offers both historical significance and street-ready style that any hockey fan or hat enthusiast would be proud to rock.
