PlayGloria Posted Wednesday at 05:52 PM Share Posted Wednesday at 05:52 PM I agree with everyone's thoughts on black breezers on the home. That being said, after seeing these pictures, the black hem stripe does a decent job of breaking up the orange. The orange shoulders on the roads have kind of grown on me too.

Rhyno716 Posted Wednesday at 05:58 PM Share Posted Wednesday at 05:58 PM I really like the Ducks updates. The only change I would make is that the numbers on the roads should be black. Orange numbers and orange shoulders is too much. If the shoulders were white then I would like the orange numbers better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GriffinM6 Posted Wednesday at 05:58 PM Share Posted Wednesday at 05:58 PM The gold beveling on the Ducks' new number font is really weird. On the 9 it's especially noticeable how it just cuts off rather than curving into the white part of the number. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, their previous sweaters also didn't have nameplates and with few exception they are nameplateless team since first day. Except Kings also Red Wings is a team without nameplates. Coyotes also didn't have them and it seems like Utah keep that too. I like Kings unis, they finally updated hem on home sweater which is automatically an upgrade.

Too many would have been quacking (that's a joke) about being too much like the Flyers if they had gone with black breezers at home. 2 Quote It's where I sit.

FiddySicks Posted Wednesday at 06:20 PM Share Posted Wednesday at 06:20 PM Yeah, I’m not really a fan of these head to toe bright color looks teams have been putting out lately. My own team did the same thing and it’s just too much for my personal sensibilities. But I do understand the thought process and it’s better than just adding black for no reason like some teams have done. Just not really my personal thing, I guess. I LOVE the updates to the logos, though. Both the mask and the webbed foot D look very crisp. I also love that they’re now using the Webbed foot D as the shoulder logo, as that’s what it should’ve been using as an alt the entire time. The Sharks updated their fin logo and it’s fantastic, but they kept the garbage PikaShark without making any tweaks to it, which still annoys me. But m glad the Ducks decided to clean up the Mask duck logo, and it looks genuinely great. That wordmark/number font is an absolute disaster, though. Like, woof that’s bad. The last font had its issues, but was head and shoulders above this improperly beveled mess. Overall, I like this look. They went back to the stronger logo, but kept the better colors. I’ll give it a B to a B+ Kings look fine. It’s basically what the New York Jets just did with reviving an old set. Not necessarily a bad thing (in fact, probably the best they’ve looked in ages) but not really enough new with it to even evaluate it much further than that. It’s the Kings, and nothing they ever do isn’t going to be flat out narcoleptic to me. 3 Quote On 11/19/2012 at 7:23 PM, oldschoolvikings said: She’s still half convinced “Chris Creamer” is a porn site.)

Looks so stupid..... just why? When the Fanatics deal was announced in March, they said that major jersey changes or redesigns likely wouldn’t happen until the 2026-27 season, “when different fabric options and player safety innovations like protection against skate lacerations might be introduced.” I don't know why people were expecting major template changes so soon; that was never going to be the case. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Germanshepherd Posted Wednesday at 06:57 PM Share Posted Wednesday at 06:57 PM For the NHL side of things, not my favorite looks from either side, but clear upgrades on both accounts. Quote i have unquantifiable corpses on my conscience Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That said, numbers should be black-base on the white sweaters for legibility's sake (and i echo the need, or at least the option, for black breezers on the home sets). But that's where I stand on this for now. Right right, the place where you play, got it........ OR you could use the colors of the animal your team actually is named after.......

Survival79 Posted Wednesday at 07:09 PM Share Posted Wednesday at 07:09 PM Mighty Big News: Anaheim Ducks Reveal New Logos & Uniforms, a Mix of Modern and Retro Quote The two crossed hockey sticks return as well, in orange and with new bevelling applied and each blade flat on the ice instead of angled up. The white tape on the blades of each stick have also been updated slightly, maintaining the “W” design on each. Wait… what “W” design? “The stick tape in the original logo had ‘WW’ for Wild Wing, our mascot,” Tully revealed, blowing my mind while simultaneously raising my eyebrow skeptically. “We wanted to preserve it for the core fans who know about it. We thought, even though it’s not an Easter egg that many people know about, it was something we wanted to keep for the fans who do know.” I guess that puts the Walt rumors to rest... 2 Quote "If things have gone wrong, I'm talking to myself, and you've got a wet towel wrapped around your head."

seasaltvanilla Posted Wednesday at 07:19 PM Share Posted Wednesday at 07:19 PM Not that it was a strong mark to begin with, but the new duck foot feels like a downgrade. Feels sloppier somehow. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SenatorJake Posted Wednesday at 07:30 PM Share Posted Wednesday at 07:30 PM So really, we could've had the Utah Coyotes all along. This Meruelo guy sucks man. 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maz Posted Wednesday at 07:42 PM Share Posted Wednesday at 07:42 PM Now that it's "real", here are my thoughts on the Ducks: 1. Give me black pants at home, please. I can live with orange on the road, but it just feels unbalanced at home. 2. I don't like the orange yoke on the road. 3. Webbed D along with updated Mighty Duck feels mismatched. It's shades of when the Pens went back to the skating penguin but kept the robo on the shoulders. Granted, in both cases, when you see them on the jersey as opposed to side by side, the mismatch isn't as bad. EDIT: If the league will own the Coyotes name, then I don't see why Utah can't pick it up. After all they've gone through so far, I really doubt they'd do it, and I'm willing to bet they would have had no intentions of keeping the Coyotes name even if it was an original option. But, they could. Quote Pittsburgh Arsenal - Elite Football League (NFL) - 2006 | New Orleans JazzCats - Major League Hockey (AHL) - 2023 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
