From HF:

"Not going to throw him under the bus since he's not allowed to talk about it, but a certain representative of the Anaheim Ducks was fitted for his new "outdoor game" jersey and heavily implied that it would look a lot like the original Mighty Ducks jerseys, only with the "new" colors. Take it for what it's worth."

The idea of this uniform makes me happy, but I'm not gonna get my hopes up until we get more info.

As for that 20th Anniversary logo, well, it's pretty much what I was expecting. It's not fantastic but at least it exists. I would have preferred something with the duck mask but that's just me. Although I'm seriously hoping that's not a gradient on the ribbon. The font also looks vaguely similar to the Stars anniversary logo.

It looks like the Sharks are handing out the black alt to their draftees.

Interesting. Weren't they supposed to be unveiling their new uniforms here?

Although since the third is staying, it does makes sense to give their draftees that before the new ones are revealed.

Edited to add: new background for the Ducks website confirms the 20th Anniversary logo as legit.

I like how it completely ignores the years in which Jade and Eggplant were worn. At least the team's cup rings from 2007 acknowledged their history. Disappointing

Rare do anniversary logos ever use past color schemes, so I don't see a problem with that.

Besides the Houston Astros, I don't think anybody else ever used a logo that mashed up eras.

20th Anniversary patch was on the jersey handed to draftee Shea Theodore.

Weirdly, the Ducks are only wearing the patch on their thirds this year.

Where did you hear about that?

As part of the 20th anniversary celebrations, the 2013-14 regular season will include a number of special events at Honda Center. Planned occasions will include look backs at great moments in Ducks history and retro merchandise available for purchase. In addition, the club will host a “Throwback Night” near the start of the 2013-14 regular season, paying homage to the inaugural 1993-94 Mighty Ducks of Anaheim season. The club will have further announcements surrounding the festivities at a later date.

Well, at least that's promising. Very very promising... The actual 20th logo itself is extremely disappointing. Like really guys? That's the best you've got?

Yeah, it does give off the vibe that it was hastily cobbled together by the front office at the last minute. At least their celebration plans sound good. Yay to retro merchandise, assuming any online retailers are carrying it and it's not all Ducks Team Store exclusive.

Why do you say that?

Edit: Nevermind, monkeypower beat me to it.

I don't thin they meant it will adorn ONLY the third jersey.

Well, that's what they seem to be implying.

Then again marketing isn't exactly a strong area for this team* so it doesn't really shock me.

*Let's unveil our third jerseys at the start of the game instead of holding a special launch event, so that fans will miss the first five or ten minutes of the game while waiting to purchase their new jerseys!

Also, let's NOT hold a parade that one time we win the Stanley Cup!

Ducks 20th logo got leaked via the LA times. I don't have a pic, but it's pretty boring.

Pretty generic..

Using a Bank Gothic "20" for your anniversary logo the season immediately after the Stars did it. That's some ballsy laziness.

For all the bird de lis haters I think the bird de lis isnt supposed to be a pelican and a fleur de lis I think its just a fleur de lis with a pelicans head. Thats what it looks like to me. Also the flair around the tip of the beak is just flair that fleur de lis have sometimes source I am from NOLA.
