The Bruins own the building and all changes are their call. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basically the 70s look but with the updated template. Any of your recent designs are miles better than what they put out 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's been 17(!) years, enough with the black and orange. Feels like it should have been a 2-3 year failed experiment but unfortunately they won a Cup in those jerseys so that's probably why it stuck around for so long. But even then, the jerseys they've been wearing for the past several years aren't even the Cup winning ones (which were just baaaarely better, desaturated and painfully dull or ugly piping mess with garish orange panels? Pick you poison), and they've had no success with the current set. What the hell are they waiting for? Does anybody actually like the black, orange and beige? Why is it taking them so long to go back to their original set? 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's as if the more people clamor for the original set, the more dead set they are against bringing it back. They just keep dancing around it but wont fully commit. Back to the mask, it's fantastic. And the pads are incredible. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

habsfan1 Posted September 23, 2023 Share Posted September 23, 2023 Teal and eggplant screams 90s color fads to me. That scheme wouldn't work as well full-time in 2023 as it used to in 1996. Black and orange for an Orange County team is a fine update for the Ducks brand. Black primary jerseys set them apart in a way from the Flyers who use the same colors. 2 1 6 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The colours might have been influenced by 90's colour fads individually, but collectively there hasn't been anything like them before or since. Other teams might have used purple and teal together but none of them could be mistaken for the Mighty Ducks. Even the shades of purple (Eggplant) and teal (Jade) were unique as was the decision to compliment them with such a small but effective amount of yellow. I would say their original uniforms have transcended 90's fads. 4 hours ago, habsfan1 said: That scheme wouldn't work as well full-time in 2023 as it used to in 1996.

The Ducks current colours and logos look more dated with each passing season. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chcarlson23 Posted September 23, 2023 Share Posted September 23, 2023 Wild make the North Stars look their third officially. I love the State of Hockey patch!

Nordiks_19 Posted September 23, 2023 Share Posted September 23, 2023 Not a fan of the C patch (and pretty sure the A patch as well). But overall smart move, only a matter of time before the switch to North Stars look is done 2 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It definitely seems like the Wild planned to wear these against teams with solid, classic sets, so that the matchup will be really nice. Glad that someone is on our side (the uni-nerds) in management there, vs just picking random games for them 2 Quote "And those who know Your Name put their trust in You, for You, O Lord, have not forsaken those who seek You."

That said, these colors are lightyears better than the green and red. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Admiral Posted September 23, 2023 Share Posted September 23, 2023 The Moose wore this as a throwback circa 2009, where it was kind of an unwitting prelude to the eventual Jets redesign: http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-f0SEPYrlH1Y/Tin8z4N0f9I/AAAAAAAAEq0/lw8e9iMmVgE/s1600/moosemilitary.jpg Quote ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nostalgia has been the main driving force in NHL uniform design, since the aftermath of the Edge debacle, and it has been recently expanded to include the 90's. The Ducks current colours and logos look more dated with each passing season. They would have to come up with an excellent design for both the home and road that uses each color the right way, to make something visually appealing. To do what Vegas did with grey, gold, black, and red, but with the Mighty Ducks colors. I think their 90s heritage jersey is magnificent as a special occasion uniform. On the other hand, they would be replacing their championship colors that they've been using for almost as long as they wore teal/eggplant. And also, if nostalgia is a driving force, they might as well go all in and become Mighty again. Then again, maybe there's a generation gap between older fans and younger fans who grew up remembering the Ducks in black and bronze. But that's debatable. Creating a concept in 90s colors that's better than the current jerseys can be done. But I honestly feel like it needs to be a bit more than just straight up the throwbacks. A few minor adjustments at least. The Sabres new/old jerseys are top-tier. Something along those lines. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is just a specialty design they're wearing this season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
