They are promoting the heck out of that look in these playoffs. I spotted a huge version of the neon logo on one of the seat cover panels and the team's Twitter avatar is that logo sorta on a white background with a navy outline. I think it's a sign that the Oilers are going back to blue at home, but not necessarily those specific jerseys. I've heard a lot of rumours about a return to the '80s royal blues. It reminds me of the Ducks in the '06 playoffs. They shifted their black & eggplant wordmark alternates to primary status, which foreshadowed their switch to a different black, wordmark-centered jersey the next season.

Ridleylash Posted May 25, 2021 Share Posted May 25, 2021 The Oilers going back to royal also fits the throwback look trend that's very clearly formed in the NHL at the moment. Honestly would not shock me if the Ducks are next to go back to their original look full-time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It feels like everything's kinda leading to that; the Ducks' RR is super popular, there's an anniversary season coming soon, many teams are rebranding to retro looks as of late, and the Mighty Ducks look is still among the most popular looks in the league, even with how long the team's been using their current style of branding. The only real obstacle against it is if the Samuelis are that deadset, but somehow I wonder if they aren't considering it to gain a bunch of revenue from merch sales and the like, especially with the franchise's 30th anniversary coming up pretty soon.

It's the same trajectory the Coyotes are on, and it's pretty much a given we're getting a white Kachina reveal this offseason. I don't think it's exactly akin to the Coyotes situation. The current Ducks owners were the same owners who changed it in the first place and there's been nothing concrete or official to suggest that they've wanted to change it back. If it's going to happen, I don't think it'll be a full return to the eggplant and jade Mighty Ducks of Anaheim. It'll probably be something akin to the 25th anniversary jersey or the orange alternate and the name won't change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The eggplant and jade is probably the better way to go, but I have to agree that the old crest in orange and black is the more likely scenario.

I think their best move would be to move to the orange jersey as the primary with a matching road and use the throwback as an alt. There is no reason why the duck mask logo can't work full-time with the Anaheim Ducks name. They don't have to go back to being the Mighty Ducks.

Nordiks_19 Posted May 27, 2021 Share Posted May 27, 2021 If the Ducks are indeed planning to change their look, they should take the 25th anniversary jersey and make a matching white with it. Would look gorgeous Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morgan33 Posted May 27, 2021 Share Posted May 27, 2021 The striping on the Duck's cup-winning-set was so much more tasteful than the over-wrought side-panels they use now. I wish they'd just replaced the script with the stand-alone 'D' and (maybe) added more orange to striping... The logo feels suffocated on the current uniforms.

Sec19Row53 Posted May 28, 2021 Share Posted May 28, 2021 I admittedly only watch during the playoffs. That said, is Edmonton's road sweater white or grey? On TV, it sure looks grey. It's where I sit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
