New Ducks Logos?

[BBM]

honestly, all this talk about the ducks taking other teams colors is kinda stupid, teams all over the place have the same colors, this was brought up in an earlier post, the pistons, clippers, patriots, giants, its all about how the team uses the colors, neways, the colors are different, and the jersey is unique, u would honestly have to be dumb to confuse the ducks with any other team in the NHL, the jersey is unlike anything in the league, and the way the colors are used are unlike anythign in the NHL, so the ducks will not be confused with another team, so stop all this talk about how much they look like other teams, because they dont.

It's not just that it's the Pens' colors, it's the fact they COULD have done something unique, like using a dark green. As it was, they HAD a completely unique color scheme and look, and now don't.

This was just posted on the Orange County Register site:

Why does this remind me of the Stars' Mooterus jersey??

I can see why it would, but keep in mind that the primary reason why everyone hated the Mooterus jersey was just the logo itself. IMO, the Mooterus jersey on it's own was actually nice.

--Roger "Time?" Clemente.

Thats a good point. It does feel similar. (Actually, Im wearing the Dallas Ex-Alternate now lol).

The Jersey gives the logo more justice and whilst not my favourite logo by far, its not the worst. The Jersey itself looks better in black though. The logo on its own isnt as ncie either.

No shoulder logos...

kev.

if u get these two jerseys confused, u need a new tv

here are examples from other professional sports with simaliar or same color, its how they use it and the design they use that seperates them from other teams.

none of those images work

It's not so much the same colors as the penguins it's the fact that they use diagonal stripes as will. The black jersey probably won't be confused but the white from a side angle such as you see in a game can be.

[alwaysr92]

ya, i messed up by putting the wrong code in, if ya'll really want those pics, ill put em up, but ya'll should get the idea

basically-Phillies-angels use red(along wit a lot of other baseball teams)

Texans-Giants-Patriots use red,white, blue

Clippers, Pistons- Red, Blue

[ericmryan]

Here we go. All fixed. Kinda.

These looked better in 'Paint' when I origianlly did them, but you get the idea.

[Tazz013]

[jjezioro225]

I actually don't mind the jersey itself, but it looks so much like the Pens. I think with a little different color scheme, this could have looked stellar.

[jkrdevil]

Now that I see these on players the definatly look way too much like the Penguins.

[SabreGuy]

Love the jersies, HATE the font for the numbers. blech!

[Korkie]

Don't sleeve numbers seem bigger than usual? Either way, the number font is cool. I do wish they used midnight green though, like the Philadelphia Eagles use.

[KevinMcD]

Mabye the shoulder numbers are larger because there is no shoulder logo

[SabreGuy]

maybe that's it... the size on the sleeves more than the font. And the fact that 6 looks like a mis-sewn 9.

[patsox]

THe white stripe on the blacks looks stupid.

All things considered, I don't think they're so bad. Although other teams use black and orange or black and bronze, nobody's using black, orange and bronze together, so that is unique. The overall design is relatively simple and sticks with the team's original asymmetrical striping scheme - no great complaints in that department. As far as the wordmark/logo issue, sure, I wouldn't have minded something a bit more graphical, however a number of teams do just fine with a lettering-dominated crest (Dallas and the Rangers come to mind right away as good examples).

Clearly this isn't the most imaginative, groundbreaking set of uni's to come down the pike by a longshot, however it could have been much, much worse. Where I do have an issue, however, is in the team's decision to continue using a color (black) that has been associated with their (figuratively speaking) cross-town rivals the Kings. Dark green could have been an attractive and sensical choice, but instead they decided to stick with a less-distinguishing color - one that has been a part of the region's senior club for roughly 15 years longer than it's been a relevant part of their own scheme. Perhaps it's a subtle swat at the Kings to "claim" the color black as their own and establish themselves as the region's NHL pacesetter (granted, the Kings have minimized black over the last couple of years but it's still very much identified with the Kings of the Gretzky-era and beyond).

Overall, I'd say this isn't such a bad overhaul but certainly nothing to behold as a future classic.

[fiasco!]

i think it looks great....excellent update to a formerly terrible identity.

[capn89]

The Ducks had an identity (like it or hate it), now they don't. They look like the Penguins. I feel so sorry for Ducks fans.

[patsox]

i agree about the last comment, but i still kind of like them.

[OHLArenaGuide]

They've upgraded from an F to a D. The old Disney purple uniforms are the worst in the history of hockey and I won't miss them even a little bit, but they sure could have done better than this.
