I'm really hoping they frigged up and that it's just a small misunderstanding. I have no idea how any of this works but if they were told and not actually shown the socks, maybe there's been a mixup about the Ducks saying they would be using home socks or something, but they meant home as in white, the way it was in the 90s . Also, this is a very minor mistake most people won't notice but they got the gloves wrong for Calgary and Buffalo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why would Phoenix name their team after a trillion of other stars in other solar systems? It's not Valley of the Suns. The Sun is a star...but to call other stars "suns" isn't scientifically correct. Even NASA capitalizes Sun to denote it as a proper noun and not just a generic word for a star. Smart is believing half of what you hear. Genius is knowing which half.

Chromatic Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 Again, we're getting really pedantic and into the weeds here. My only point is that I find names of a single specific geographic indicator, like "Rainiers" awkward. Contrast it with if they were called the "Cascades", it would be more palatable. Its just a personal preference, like many find "Avalanche" or "Magic" bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkeypower Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 So the Ducks names are curved, like the original Wild Wing jersey, but all the customized jerseys sold, including mine, have straight names... The masks are cool though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dont care Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 3 hours ago, Chromatic said: I agree with you in principle, but imo theres a bit of difference between the Sun and all the cultural, scientific, mythological etc baggage that comes with it and a specific mountain from a specific area. Its not necessarily a logical argument, but the names do feel different. If I wanted to get really pedantic though, I could make the argument that there are billions of suns, and the Sun, "Sol" is just our Sun.

nash61 Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 I don't hate the dark socks. There is enough jade on the jersey that they don't look terribly out of place. Wild Wing on white looks awful because his lines aren't thick enough to contrast on the jersey. 10/10 concept, 5/10 for execution.
