Bernie 03-20-2005, 10:09 PM At the bottom of this article it mentions a possible name change for the Ducks. If is true it is the best hockey news all year!!! I hope they use the old school uniforms too. :handclap:

signalIInoise 03-20-2005, 11:32 PM I wonder if they'll have to buy the name from the Sharks? Those old Seals uniforms are kinda nasty, imo... but the name is much better.
Reaper45 03-20-2005, 11:53 PM God we could only hope.
Duckstudd269 03-21-2005, 12:03 AM California Golden Seals!!?? :eek: Thats worse then the Anaheim Mighty Ducks if you ask me. I dont mind a name change, but god not that... :shakehead
Ducks_è_Halos 03-21-2005, 02:08 AM California Golden Seals!!?? :eek: Thats worse then the Anaheim Mighty Ducks if you ask me. I dont mind a name change, but god not that... :shakehead
I don't like it either...They should just take the "Mighty" out of the name if there is going to be a change.
Fighter 03-21-2005, 02:47 AM California Golden Seals!!?? :eek: Thats worse then the Anaheim Mighty Ducks if you ask me. I dont mind a name change, but god not that... :shakehead
Totally agree. golden Seals, what a dumb name... :help:
McDonald19 03-21-2005, 02:58 AM I don't like it.
just drop the "mighty".
Anaheim Ducks is fine.
Professor John Frink 03-21-2005, 11:15 AM I'll gladly take Golden Seals, I want to wash my mind clean of anything involving Disney.
soya_sauce_chicken 03-21-2005, 02:22 PM I'll gladly take Golden Seals, I want to wash my mind clean of anything involving Disney.
but having the Golden Seals is just as tainted as Mighty Ducks..
just leave it as is and remove that dam Mighty
Duckstudd269 03-21-2005, 08:39 PM I'll gladly take Golden Seals, I want to wash my mind clean of anything involving Disney.
ok "mighty Ducks" makes me think of 10 year olds watchin the movies..
but "golden seals" reminds me of 2 year olds :shakehead
Anaheim Mighty Ducks> California Golden Seals
Anaheim Ducks> Anaheim Mighty Ducks
Dirk316 03-21-2005, 09:15 PM Ducks is still too disney they need to distance themselves as much as possible.
Goldenseals >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>. Ducks because of Disney factor
Kevin Forbes 03-21-2005, 09:18 PM then they can put their "Golden Seal of Approval" on each victory
hahahahahahahaha.
get it?
get it?
I need to get out more

They can distance themselves as far as they want, but not by calling them Golden Seals :shakehead. We might as well call them, the Anaheim Baby Ducks.
Ronnie Bass 03-21-2005, 10:21 PM It's as if when the Montreal Expos moved to D.C. and they take the name the Senators instead of the Nationals.
Why subjuct yourself to that troublesome history of that name from that city?
Roger's Pancreas* 03-22-2005, 01:16 AM I like the idea. I think what everyone needs to pay attention to is that the Golden Seals were pre-Bettman era. Once this lockout is over Bettman and Goodenow will be chased out of town, and cutting off ties to Disney is just another step forward.
Let's distance ourselves from this lockout with an old name and a new colorscheme.

Let's not...
at least not something with golden seals in the title.
Chistov23 03-22-2005, 01:34 AM Yea I would rather stay the Mighty Ducks of Anaheim than a change to the California Golden Seals but thats me.
bleuer 03-22-2005, 03:33 AM don't really like the new name either...maybe because I wasn't even born when the seals played...i have absolutely no relation to this name/team/logo....Anaheim Ducks, make the 3rd jersey the new 1st jersey and i'm all happy :)
Professor John Frink 03-22-2005, 12:12 PM don't really like the new name either...maybe because I wasn't even born when the seals played...i have absolutely no relation to this name/team/logo....Anaheim Ducks, make the 3rd jersey the new 1st jersey and i'm all happy :)
I think you miss the point here. The name is what has the horrid stigma. Anyone can change their uni's just to make some cash. But a name change is a big deal. I just want nothing to do with Disney ir the Mighty Ducks. They want to name us the flying gorillas so be it. In my mind anything other than Mighty Ducks bring instant credibility back to the franchise. Winning a few games would be nice as well.
cheesymc 03-22-2005, 01:28 PM I actually like the old school idea of Golden Seals, but thats just me. I like unique names, I know it may sound cheesy and all. And I also think that Anaheim "Mighty Ducks" sound better than just plain "Anaheim Ducks."
McDonald19 03-22-2005, 04:16 PM They can distance themselves as far as they want, but not by calling them Golden Seals :shakehead. We might as well call them, the Anaheim Baby Ducks.
Yeah I agree.
If they want to distance themselves...drop the "mighty" for next season...
then during the season allow fans to vote on renaming the team with California Seals, Anaheim Ducks, and a few other choices on the poll.
McDonald19 03-22-2005, 04:18 PM Anaheim Ducks, make the 3rd jersey the new 1st jersey and i'm all happy :)
I agree completly.
3rd Jersey for home jersey.
design a new jersey for the road with a more normal looking Duck on it.
Reaper45 03-22-2005, 06:01 PM I agree completly.
3rd Jersey for home jersey.
design a new jersey for the road with a more normal looking Duck on it.That 3rd jersey is horrendous. Total rip off of Kings colors....
McDonald19 03-22-2005, 06:30 PM That 3rd jersey is horrendous. Total rip off of Kings colors....
horrendous? I think it looks great.
I didn't know the Kings owned purple and black?
ILuvLA 03-22-2005, 06:49 PM Ok - Ducks v Seals - let's put this another way - which would you consider more annoying... listening to the duck calls or the sound of seals honking throughout the Pond?
Kevin Forbes 03-22-2005, 06:57 PM Ok - Ducks v Seals - let's put this another way - which would you consider more annoying... listening to the duck calls or the sound of seals honking throughout the Pond?
seals don't honk
they bark
geez
watch some Animal Planet
:shakehead
(kidding)

I'd rather listen to Duck calls that seals...
190Octane 03-22-2005, 08:47 PM Kings fans are hilarious.
Maybe if the Ducks added some glitter to their purple and black, they'd be ripping off the kings.
Ducks_è_Halos 03-22-2005, 09:00 PM That 3rd jersey is horrendous. Total rip off of Kings colors....
So are you calling the King's colors/jerseys horrendous too???
...Not that the Duck's or King's jerseys even resemble eachother. I think the Duck's current 3rd jersey would be great as a 1st jersey.
Reaper45 03-22-2005, 09:41 PM So are you calling the King's colors/jerseys horrendous too???
...Not that the Duck's or King's jerseys even resemble eachother. I think the Duck's current 3rd jersey would be great as a 1st jersey.
No, I'm saying that it's far too close to the Kings jerseys, therefore it's horrendous. It'd be one thing for a team to have similar colors to the Kings if they were from say Atlanta, or somewhere further away, but the fact that the Ducks are 30 miles down the road and have similar colors is what makes it horrendous. Almost like they are trying to imitate big brother.... I have nothing wrong with purple and black, but it just seems like a complete ripoff. The 3rd jersey for Anaheim is much better, but not those colors....
Reaper45 03-22-2005, 09:44 PM Kings fans are hilarious.
Maybe if the Ducks added some glitter to their purple and black, they'd be ripping off the kings.
And you dont think that they have a purple and black jersey regardless of the "glitter" or not isn't ripping off the Kings?
Reaper45 03-22-2005, 09:46 PM horrendous? I think it looks great.
I didn't know the Kings owned purple and black?
It looks great sure, but not when the only other team in the league that has purple and black uni's are only 30 miles up the road....
Kevin Forbes 03-22-2005, 10:00 PM It looks great sure, but not when the only other team in the league that has purple and black uni's are only 30 miles up the road....
I agree with this thinking.
McDonald19 03-22-2005, 10:12 PM It looks great sure, but not when the only other team in the league that has purple and black uni's are only 30 miles up the road....
well the Ducks wanted to have a black third jersey which is fairly normal. So for the second color they picked purple which is one of the colors from the regular ducks jerseys. I guess they could have done Black and Green but that wouldn't have looked as nice.

saldy black is a fairly normal color and Anaheim chose to continue the tradition and use it. It's overused in my opinion. It would of been nice if Anaheim could of done something with a green (similar to the old Phoenix third jersey) instead of the tired black.
Bobby Ryan Getzlaf 03-22-2005, 11:26 PM I agree completly.

design a new jersey for the road with a more normal looking Duck on it.
Or, you could always take that third jersey and make it white. I did it on photoshop, and it looks pretty good, I must say.
lux_interior 03-28-2005, 02:31 AM I kind of like the idea of the "Anaheim Flying Gorillas". That would scare people.
Lyons71 03-28-2005, 08:21 PM I just want a name with no adjective in it, personally. No "golden" or "mighty" or any of that. Just a name.
