IceCap Posted June 21, 2014 Share Posted June 21, 2014 Regardless of what you think of the design, you do not change a uniform you won 2 cups in the 3 years in... I wish someone in Pittsburgh would have said that in the summer of 1992...Why?The uniforms they switched to are better.They really weren't. The robo penguin just didn't hold up as well as the skating penguin. And really, how could it?

Morgan33 Posted June 21, 2014 Share Posted June 21, 2014 Why?The uniforms they switched to are better.They really weren't. The robo penguin just didn't hold up as well as the skating penguin. And really, how could it? I think it was a lateral move as far as the logo went. Both of those crests look fantastic for different reasons. The skating penguin is cartoonish but in a charming way with a notable amount of history behind it. Two championships included of course. The other logo depicts a penguin in far more realistic manner without compromising the general idea of the crest. It is still a penguin within a gold triangle and the three stripes representing the rivers was a nice touch.One area the redesign absolutely nailed however is the striping. The striping of that set marked a huge improvement over the dated cup jerseys, particularly the white version which looked terrible.What if they had put the skating penguin on both of those redesigned jerseys? I doubt that would have caused as much of an uproar if any. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orgo Posted June 21, 2014 Share Posted June 21, 2014 With the next WC confirmed, what do you think the teams will wear?I think that a red version of the Caps WC set would be safe, but bringing back the blue screaming eagle set would be neat. A white version of the Hawks' WC uniform? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigGameBob Posted June 21, 2014 Share Posted June 21, 2014 Please don't let that mask have an actual uniform on it. I'm so sick of the Ducks having awesome uniforms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AHcreative Posted June 21, 2014 Share Posted June 21, 2014 Gotta agree here, I never saw the love for those Ducks uniforms. The ones with the diagonal stripes however, among the best jerseys of all time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGrimReaper Posted June 21, 2014 Share Posted June 21, 2014 Unsurprisingly, turns out Andersen's mask isn't really a jersey leak at all.More Ducks rumours are circling around Twitter. It's mostly the same stuff we know already, and seems to be confirming the current third being promoted and the new white being introduced. Word is we'll be seeing a new orange third in 2015-16. Apparently - but I'm not sure where - Murray said the wordmark is going, so that probably means the current home won't be demoted like I thought it might, but retired altogether.In a way, it's surprising that the Ducks would go a season without a third, but if it means no more soulless wordmark jersey then I'm all for it.Or they might just be replacing the wordmark with the webbed D. Nobody flat out said the third's being promoted, yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd take it with a pinch of salt, but there's no reason to assume this fan is making stuff up. Says the new jerseys (probably meaning the white one) will be unveiled at the draft. Also says Selanne's number will be retired in January. PotD: 24/08/2017 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGrimReaper Posted June 22, 2014 Share Posted June 22, 2014 I've actually seen that site before, and they were talking about a possible Mikko Koivu trade to Anaheim.... I'm not sure if that's the most reliable site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure if that's the most reliable site.Hi GrimReaper and WildWing64,I am the owner of that blog. It's call www.ducksnpucks.com. Yes I did write the article about Mikko coming to Anaheim. Many fans were saying that it was going to happen. I actually wrote that article dismissing a trade for Mikko would ever happen. The article put that rumor to rest especially when the Ducks let go of Saku Koivu.Everything mentioned at the Open House is true. One of my staff writers attended the event and relayed all the info.Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thinking the big "D" but on a white jersey? Also heard rumors the new 3rd jersey would be a thrown back to the old school ones. Again this is just rumored, as you said we need to wait and see.

Morgan33 Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 The wishbone collars are the least of those jerseys problems... They are too top heavy, use way too much of that sheen material and incorporate yellow into the striping. The Ducks original set was perfect whether it had the shoulder patches or not. There was no need for two of those vastly inferior jerseys. The jade version by itself would make an acceptable if unremarkable alternate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smart is believing half of what you hear. Genius is knowing which half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
