TeamDoctor Posted January 30, 2006 Share Posted January 30, 2006 If you are going to change, why not go all the way and pick something cool and exciting instead? Well, you know, you should trade nicknames between the Wild and Ducks. Ducks WOULD be an appropriate name for a Minnesota team. Wild is terrible. Another bad singular moniker with weird colors and font lettering. Now bring back "Fighting Saints," or better yet, "North Stars!" I only wished the Wild had tried to use "North Stars," just to watch that pirate owner in Dallas squeal! what exactly makes tom hicks a pirate? or are you still under the impression that norm green has anything at all to do with the franchise?Sorry, I didn't know, I thought his name was Norm Gund, did not own them anymore. That being said, while I do not have anything against Dallas having an NHL team, I do not like how they got it. At least Minnesota got a team back.

leopard88 Posted January 30, 2006 Share Posted January 30, 2006 But it does make it a more difficult task... especially given the number of logos out there that play off birds and bird features already, even in the NHL (the Red Wings, the Thrashers, the Penguins... am I missing any?) Caps.

Mister Vicious Posted January 30, 2006 Share Posted January 30, 2006 I think they will adopt a more traditional style logo and jersey to avoid any comparisons to Disney, cartoons, etc. I think they will probably use a stylized 'Anaheim', 'A', 'D', 'AD', 'Ducks' logo and avoid using a duck per se, with allusion to feathers, wings, or something to that effect. I'm thinking new style traditional. Nothing abstract, busy, or too flashy.

fonz Posted January 31, 2006 Share Posted January 31, 2006 Well, we've all learned from Disney movies that miracles do happen...so here's hoping! lol. If not, well, looks like another 13 years of defending their honour.If what you are saying is true, I don't understand how anyone in the organization, including the owners themselves could let this happen. They have to know there's a reason there changing everything around! Its to not let the cartoony, gimmicky, cheesy, throwaway, immature, unprofessional, etc thing happen again (not that the old name, logo, etc was so bad but you get my point). I'm gonna have to go down to Ducks head office myself if I have to! lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sheesh.Hope it endures as well as the inspiration Lamar Hunt's daughter's toy gave him. (She was playing with a super ball, which he then turned into Super Bowl.)

TruColor Posted January 31, 2006 Share Posted January 31, 2006 Funny thing about the colors...Back in 1993, when Anaheim unveiled the colors and logo, they were originally listed as "Burgundy, Teal and Silver". So, all of this merchandise started hitting the shelves in what looked like Washington Redskins Burgundy. Then, there was a correction - the colors were actually supposed to be "Purple, Jade and Silver"...as if there's a huge difference between Teal and Jade...then new stuff came out with the CORRECT colors...Anyway, me being the obsessive complulsive type when it somes to colors, I called the marketing dept. for the Ducks and spoke for about 15 or 20 minutes with a very nice guy who explained what had happened: the owners announced the colors as Burgundy, Teal and Silver - misinterpreting the actual intended colors. So, a lot of the stuff went out incorrectly - I assume most of the incorrect merchandise was unlicensed, since there shouldn't have been a problem if they were using the Pantone colors - as they should have been.This marketing guy told me that the Purple they chose was a very unique color, and that if you were going to attempt to match it in a paint store or something, you might call it "Eggplant". So, that's what I've always called it. Even though it's not REALLY official. Officially, it's Mighty Ducks of Anaheim Purple. I'm pretty much responsible for it being called Eggplant - I've had it on my Team Color Lists that way (although I just recently stopped calling it that), and I think that you'd never really see it listed that way on any official documents.I'm going to miss that color...it's a great color that's not being used by anyone else and set them apart from everyone else...Side note: the Ducks actually modified it slightly between the 1998-1999 and 1999-2000 seasons...see if you can see the very slight difference: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
