According to Icethetics they've only shown it to season ticket holders. I imagine they'll probably also end up teasing a new throwback-styled alternate for next season on the official reveal like Carolina and San Jose have both recently done for their own 25th and 30th anniversaries, respectively. It makes far, far too much sense to do, and you can use that as a test balloon for a rebrand as well. But yeah, anything super major like a full-on rebrand would absolutely be waiting until the offseason to even be teased, let alone properly announced.

Kinda odd in the middle of the season however It's not unprecedented. The Lightning released their now current logo midseason in the 2010-11 season, and even painted the logo at center ice for the rest of the season.

New primary, new alternate, sure, teasers are abundant. But it seems like most teams just drop anniversary logos on social media and say "here you go!" Quote Smart is believing half of what you hear.

fortunat1 Posted February 16, 2023 Share Posted February 16, 2023 I believe that at some point during the Sharks' uniform release it was said that the Ducks already had plans for a full rebrand intended to debut in either the 23/24 or 24/25 season. The details I made note of were that they were keeping the current color scheme but using the original crest (no word on other design features). These are just some details that I made note of when I initially heard about them though, so I can't recall a specific source or date that this information came from. The details seem pretty vague, but given the team's recent usage of the original logo while still having some unrelenting connection to orange and black, it's not surprising that the team would head this route. If someone could provide some more specifics on this it would be appreciated. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyersfan Posted February 17, 2023 Share Posted February 17, 2023 I do love the Mighty Ducks nostalgic logo. But I have a soft spot for the stylized "D" logo too. Would hate to see that completely go away. Uniforms absolutely need some work, but I think from a logo-spot they sit in a really good place. 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know how you can look at those pictures next to the ones the Wild based their RR on and say they're an improvement. I'm sure there are plenty of fans in Minnesota who haven't bought a RR yet, but would if they're wearing it for the next couple years. I agree that they did not need to. But for reasons I cannot articulate, I think the North Stars addition wasn't nearly as bad as the Flames, Mets, and Lions (KC Royals, Eagles, and probably several others, too).* I think their late-1980s black trim worked nicely. I've been back and forth on whether I prefer their early 1980s (no black) green vs. the added black. That said, I think the non-black white jerseys (which were just before my time) are far superior to the black they added in the early 1980s. My earliest memories include black at home (white) and no black on the road, which I didn't understand at all. If I could eliminate one common philosophy of sports uniforms, it would be that yellow cannot touch white. I think the Flames and Chiefs look absolutely fantastic and the Flames were ruined by black. I think they used it more prominently than the North Stars, but even thin outlines would have ruined it for me. Their 1980s look is top-5 all-time for me and the moment they added black, they went to the middle of the pack. *I'm also not able to articulate why I absolutely think the Jets addition of black trim was absolutely the right move. 5 Quote Disclaimer: If this comment is about an NBA uniform from 2017-2018 or later, do not constitute a lack of acknowledgement of the corporate logo to mean anything other than "the corporate logo is terrible and makes the uniform significantly worse."

I don't know if I'm expecting a rebrand for next year. One, the first phase of the big renovations to the arena area are expected to be completed in 2024 so there have been some suggestion that any rebrand would match that timeline. Two, this anniversary logo still uses the webbed-D. Seems weird to use that logo in the anniversary logo if they aren't going to use it in that anniversary season. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like it and it's the first anniversary logo they've used that includes both Mighty and non-Mighty eras. I love the shape of this lockup - the only thing that always bothers me is the two distinct tyles of the original design and the stylised D. They just don't work together at all and it's annyoing every time I see them try to make them look like they belong together. Quote I'm Danny fkn Heatley, I play for myself.

If you take away the webbed D this wouldn't immediately jump out as a Ducks logo. The beveled font looks like something from Dallas's set, and going with black, yellow, and silver was an odd choice. No orange, no bronze, no jade, no eggplant. There's basically a 3 in the negative space of the webbed logo, so that feels like a missed opportunity. Would have made more sense than how they incorporated it into their 25th anniversary logo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No orange, no bronze, no jade, no eggplant. Good thing they aren't taking away the webbed D then? Not many anniversary logos would immediately jump out as a logo for the given team if the primary logo wasn't a part of the anniversary logo. If anything, I'd argue this does jump out as a Ducks logo without the webbed D because it's clearly the Mighty Ducks logo shape. The yellow is there because that's just the colour of the old sticks. I would agree that there's an odd amount of silver (probably because the outline of the Ducks logo uses that silver) and I would have liked to see some of the other colours used too, but I'm wondering if they had the logo idea first and didn't like how all those colours came together? Either that or they wanted some more neutral coloured logo for different applications? Using either the old Mighty Ducks numbers or the current numbers would have been neat, but I wonder if it also kind of goes back to a more neutral logo and not wanting to focus on either so they went with a generic font. This is the first of the three non-Mighty anniversaries to use anything Mighty in the logo so I do wonder if it was a process in trying to figure out how to combine both eras. 40 minutes ago, spartacat_12 said: There's basically a 3 in the negative space of the webbed logo, so that feels like a missed opportunity.

That 25th logo was generally not well received and was overshadowed by the anniversary jersey they wore that season. I don't think they would go back to that well with an even more questionable logo turned into a number. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
