Crabcake Posted September 1, 2021 Share Posted September 1, 2021 13 minutes ago, TheRealPepman said: Another Ducks Prototype SOURCE Classic case of "there's no way this jersey should look as good as it does." Maybe it's just the fact that the 90's are very much "in" right now clouding my judgment, but I really don't hate these. Those colors should not look as good as they do together. 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crabcake Posted September 1, 2021 Share Posted September 1, 2021 20 minutes ago, TheRealPepman said: Anaheim Mighty Ducks Prototype SOURCE On the other hand, this is absolute garbage that would have been panned in any era. You could stick these uniforms into action when the NHL looked like this and they'd look out of place. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DTConcepts Posted September 1, 2021 Share Posted September 1, 2021 Vertical striping and combined pants/jersey elements aside, I think the most intriguing part of that first Mighty Ducks concept is the helmet striping. The fact that any of that even made it into the concept phase is insane. 1 Quote "You ain't gonna learn what you don't wanna know..." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yet, it wouldn't have surprised me one bit if a team under Reebok/Adidas whipped something like this crap out for a Stadium series. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uniforms that are this experimental are okay for a game or two, not a full-time look. 1 Quote "You ain't gonna learn what you don't wanna know..."

If fans are expected to shell out $150-200 or more for them, it shouldn't end up on an ugliest jersey of all-time list. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Admiral Posted September 3, 2021 Share Posted September 3, 2021 I think the Jets had the right idea in making grey a color, but then they half-committed to red anyway. I've always said the perfect Jets color scheme is white, blue, red, sky blue, and grey. That Mighty Ducks illustration is adorable. The prototype is so crazy it just might work. I always appreciated yellow being in the alternates to break up the color palette a bit more. 1 Quote ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Mooterus and Turdburger are both ten times better. 4 Quote Mighty Ducks of Anaheim (CHL - 2018 Orr Cup Champions) Chicago Rivermen (UBA/WBL - 2014, 2015, 2017 Intercontinental Cup Champions) King's Own Hexham FC (BIP - 2022 Saint's Cup Champions) Portland Explorers (EFL - Elite Bowl XIX Champions) Real San Diego (UPL) Red Bull Seattle (ULL - 2018, 2019, 2020 Gait Cup Champions) Vancouver Huskies (CL) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sport Posted September 3, 2021 Share Posted September 3, 2021 I've been watching a lot of youtube videos lately about the history and designing of Disney parks - that Ducks concept looks right at home with early 90's era imagineering. They probably referred to the hockey players as "cast members" and everything. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lights Out Posted October 1, 2021 Share Posted October 1, 2021 I think they made the right choice. The top-left option is the only other good one. 2 Quote POTD: 2/4/12 3/4/12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To me, that one both does and doesn't. Making a large U in black (or more likely green) and a smaller one using the negative space seems very awkward to me.

Even though the "U" looks like a "J," I like the bottom left one, but only because it introduces the spear iconography. Could've done a lot with that. The rest of you are right, though. UH made the right choice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
