MLS side LA Galaxy and NHL team LA Kings collaborate to launch cross-sport merchandise collection

The LA Galaxy and LA Kings have unveiled their highly anticipated collaborative merchandise collection, bringing together two of Los Angeles' premier sports franchises in a unique cross-sport partnership. The collection, which includes jerseys, hoodies, hats, and accessories, blends design elements from both teams to create a distinctive line that celebrates the city's diverse sports culture. The two sides announced the partnership on social media with the caption "A collaboration built on the legacy of Champions."

This collaboration showcases the synergy between the two franchise, both of whom are owned by AEG (Anschutz Entertainment Group). The collection leverages the Galaxy's recent MLS Cup victory and the Kings' established NHL brand to create a unique offering for Los Angeles sports fans. The centerpiece of the collection is a limited-edition jersey that combines the Galaxy's new purple "RIZON" away kit design with the Kings' iconic black and silver color scheme.

This collaboration could set a precedent for future cross-sport partnerships, not just within AEG's portfolio but across the sports industry. It may also inspire similar initiatives that celebrate the multifaceted nature of sports fandom in other cities with multiple professional teams.
