Over at Puck Daddy, Greg Wyshynski has an ongoing fascination with what he calls jersey fouls. Fans love to make their own jerseys involving their teams, and he tries to get a ruling on what is accepted, and what is frowned on. And he recently uncovered what is, quite possibly, the most incredible Kings jersey I have ever seen. It's been dubbed the LA Frankenjersey, and words elude me...



Now, I've always said that there will never be a more unique jersey than the Kings' Burger King jersey, but this jersey... I.... I need to have it. Maybe without the name on the back and all the All-Star patches, but yeah, there's something artistic about it. Personally, I'd combine the old Dionne jersey with the current jersey, with the crown dissected. Not that I don't like the All-Star patches. Maybe a seperate old-school Campbell Conference orange jersey, with all the patches on that.

But back to Frankenjersey, Wyshynski poses the question: Can a single sweater contain so many Jersey Fouls that it somehow transcends our wicked world and becomes something beautiful? I say this: you can only wear this jersey at an event like he All-Star game, much like you can only dress like Captain Kirk at a Star Trek convention. It's really only safe around other hockey fans who understand your level of fanaticism. Especially in another city, it's gauranteed to garner a favorable response.

It wouldn't fly at Staples, however. Because even though we Kings fans have to band together as a collective, this level of  overenthusiasm would be frowned on by fans who can't even be bothered to actually wear a jersey to a game.
