(or "U-S-A!"). I'll be honest with you: the Minnesota Wild weren't even one of the teams I was thinking about when I originally posted. Hearing a one-syllable word such as Wild rendered as "Wi-uhld" is like fingernails on a chalkboard to me. Particularly when, as you point out, fans could just as easily chant, "Let's go, Wild!"

And the Ducks jersey is just the old orange alt with the Mighty logo, which was and is still very popular among the fanbase. Smart move, but again, already owned by many. Is this the push for it to become full-time? Hard to say, but I like it. Even made the collar somewhat tolerable. (Can't tell if the "Anaheim" is still on the collar or not.) The gold on the logo is a little too much and they over did it with the stripes, too. I don't mind them adding some gold to the logo, but it should only been an outline like what the Flyers and Kings did. The good news, no chest numbers.

This looks awful. I love metallic gold but it's not right for Sabres. Exactly, the navy is not helping. They should brought the royal blue back. the fans loved the royal blue. Their 2018 Winter Classic jersey is so beautiful and would make a great road jersey if they bring the royal blue back. And Ducks, I very glad they are bringing the orange back. Honestly, this orange should become primary home and make a white version for road. Yes,I missed the Mighty Ducks logo. it's much better than their current logo.

Morgan33 Posted July 24, 2019 Share Posted July 24, 2019 The Sabres jersey would be fine if they'd kept the buffalo and the sword-blades white. Making them gold is just overkill and the metallic material makes the logo look extremely muddled. At least in that photograph anyways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B-mer Posted July 24, 2019 Share Posted July 24, 2019 I go back on forth on the Ducks identity. For the most part the black/orange/gold works real well for a California team, especially one from Orange County. But, I love the way the Mighty Ducks logo can pop on a black uniform like in this concept. Say they took the throwback from this past season, minus the yokes, and update to current colors, it could be a nice blend of eras and update at the same time. I’d want orange more dominant than gold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course, but changing the primary colour of the logo seems odd. This isn't the best quality photo but it looks pretty ugly. Just swapping the regular yellow in the logo elements for mettalic gold would seem a little more ... sophisticated? I don't know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wildwing64 Posted July 25, 2019 Share Posted July 25, 2019 The Ducks third is pretty much what we expected, but I'm happy to see it return!

I’d love to see eggplant and jade as co-dark colors with orange and white as the contrasts. The 25th Anniversary thirds felt like a breath of fresh air and it was so nice to see them in the classic colours again. I always thought purple and orange clashed a bit too much, but If done right, eggplant, jade and orange could look really, really good. As for that Sabres third; I know this is only a one-off Anniversary thing but wow, this team loves trolling its own fans. PotD: 24/08/2017 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
