Any new info on new Uniform logos and colors?

Based on past threads the ANAHEIM DUCKS will unveil new uniforms with new logos and new colors on June 21.

Rumor is that the colors will be Orange and Black.
I have seen a few logos.

Is there any more info out there?

I kind of like the first picture (3rd link) best...

but the actual 3rd jersey looks way better, IMO

I like the 3rd link the best as well, somehow the other two remind me of the Atlanta Trasher's logo. Anyone feel the same way?

I agree. However, I wish the Ducks would just use their 3rd jersey as the home one.

3rd jersey is brutal, simple and very nice...

That is from the Flyers board,there's a couple links from different papers saying that the Ducks will be changing to an orange and black jersey next season.

The LA Times article states:

"Next month, they will simply be known as the Anaheim Ducks and will unveil a new uniform and logo in new colors — believed to be black and orange — to complete their break from the Disney era."

The Sea Breeze article repeats:

"The Anaheim Ducks, rather than the Mighty Ducks of Anaheim, are expected to introduce orange and black uniforms next month to replace the eggplant and jade of the Disney regime as new owners Henry and Susan Samueli put their own stamp on the 13-year-old franchise."

but adds:

"What's more, Arrowhead's sponsorship of the Pond ends Sept. 30, and other companies such as Toyota, Delta Air Lines and Cingular reportedly have joined the water company in talks about the arena's naming rights."

Uniform colors: Great idea. People love the black in the current 3rd jersey and orange is good since we are in ORANGE county. I have personally been told by a duck employee there will be orange in the uni, but that it is subtle. Perhaps that is the case with the white away jersey.
I think it would be great to have prominently orange home jerseys in order to create a "sea of orange" like Calgary has in red. Burke wrote that letter to the fans in Calgary and mentioned the sea in it. Having fan participation with colors is always effective.

Logos: I didn't really love any of the three. Hope there is a fourth. Of course, I will support whichever decision.

Pond Sponsor: It will always be the Pond to me. "Arrowhead" fits great and it is too bad that it will change. The sponsor name really needs to fit.

I like the 3rd link the best as well, somehow the other two remind me of the Atlanta Trasher's logo. Anyone feel the same way?
The 3rd reminds me so much of the kings old logo its not even funny.

The existing (and original 1993) Ducks logo already had similar crossed hockey sticks surmounting a triangle with a convex top, preceding the similar Kings logo adopted in 1998. I don't see any other design elements in common. Of course, there are a few tweaks.
:ducks

The one thing that I like about the current team colors (mostly the purple) is that it is unique. The number of teams with simmilar colors is excessive, especially red jerseys.

Black and orange seems a good combo, but if the orange is going to be "subtle", does that make black the primary color? I would hope not since the Kings' main color is black, with purple.

Out of the pictured logos, I like the 1st pic (third link) as well. I also like the text logo with the "D" in the shape of a duck's foot.

I like the last picture best. I'm not crazy about the new color scheme, orange is fine, the problem is that black is way overused. I'd prefer it be dark green or another dark color, just not black.

Are we going to end up looking like the Philadelphia Flyers? :dunno: Which is fine by me, personally I like the Flyers' jersey.

It's more than just two colors.

In addition to what braincramp said, I want to add that at least the Duck isn't wearing sunglasses. :biglaugh:

You guys should let AFLAC sponser the team and use that duck, and everytime you guys score a goal "AFLAC" will be shouted through the PA system. ;)

agree

I like the idea of orange and black, although, they could keep things real simple and not change much at all. The Yorkton Terriers of the SJHL use the same format as the Ducks' third jersey for their uniforms, except instead of purple, they have orange, and it looks very sweet. If they were to just do that and maybe introduce a new logo(or maybe even just a new shoulder patch for the jerseys), they'd have some very sweet looking uniforms.

Just hope that it's not the florecent orange like the vests hunters wear so they don't shoot each other when they're drunk. The Seahawks have a florecent/gatoraid green stripe on their jerseys so it's been done before. Shy.

The current 3rd jerseys are much better than any of those new proposals.

I hope some marketing person realizes that...

Nevertheless, a team needs a logo to represent/promote the team. You got to have something cool lying in the middle of center ice. I can't picture the above logos at center ice.

In all likelihood those logos we've seen won't look anything like the new ones. These are the ones that were getting thrown around and if our opinions on them are any indication than the Ducks marketing team have thrown them out. I have confidence that the new jerseys will be sweet. We all had our doubts with the thirds when the scheme of them leaked but they turned out to be really cool. I think black and orange can look as long as black is the primary color. The postitive reception for our thirds leads me to believe this notion.

black as primary color = garbage. Why is everyone so afraid of color?

This may sound weird, but I actually have an Anaheim Ducks hat. I bought it years ago and it doesn't have "Mighty" on it. It's black with Ducks in green with a white outline and Anaheim in white, small text. The hat was produced by Drew Pearson company.

Anyhow, I like that hat (color scheme) a lot. I suppose the orange would represent the fact the Ducks are in Orange county. I don't like any of the presented images. I hope there is something more available.

I will certianly never understand it.

I'd rather see you guys do orange and green like had been suggested in the past. If done correctly, they would look great, and not be like every other team in the league and use black (my team too unfortunatly).

I'm eagerly awating the debut.

*hint* Text elements *hint*

I need an even bigger hint than what you offer. Please state clearly what your point is.

the word anaheim is in the new logo with the migrating duck.

Why does anaheim always have an identity crisis? when will the name change to california ducks? then to ducks of anaheim? maybe back again!

I like the burly one. I think that was #2.

I Agree. The current logo and colors are the best in the league.

Best in the league....eh, sorry but I would have to disagree about 15 times to that. The logo isnt as bad as everyone says, but I think the new logo will be a nice break away from everything associated with Disney.

This is the best I've seen. But ultimately, I will wait for the official unveiling on June 21st.

I enjoy the stylized flying duck. Its a cool, creative take on what the nickname is...a duck. I hate cartoon logo's, and I don't want to see a duck gripping a hockey stick like it's ready to skate on the second line. I like the vibe we're getting on the colors. It sounds like they're on the right track.

The old colors were ok, and the logo was adequate, but theres no doubt that the organization has undergone a complete overhaul, from ownership to personnel to image. Now is a perfect time for rebranding.

. . . This overhaul is nothing but a shameless way to sell new merchandise.

I disagree. There's a lot of interest on the part of Ducks fans and other hockey fans in this change.

Hockey fans, by and large, are traditional and conservative. Many aren't pleased with colors they couldn't find in their original 8-color Crayola box (eggplant, jade), and couldn't expand their appreciation (even though Crayola eventually did). Many don't like cartoon characters for logos, especially ones which didn't signify toughness, seemed too commercial, or which had kid appeal or reminded them of a movie marketed to kids by neighbor Disney. After all, we're big boys now, and this is serious stuff.

If there is any time for a change, this is certainly the moment, when the team name is being decommercialized also.

I hope the colors are refreshing; the tired blue, red, and fashionable black of so many teams should not be repeated. I don't think the old colors were unworkable (especially the eggplant), but a forest green (such as the Stars') would have worked better with it. Nevertheless, they appear to be history.

Over half a dozen teams have made more significant changes in their primary jerseys since 1993; the Ducks' are substantially the same.

Revenue-seeking will always be with us; but that's not the major motive in this change.

I Agree. The current logo and colors are the best in the league.

I do not think that this is a merchandising move. Increased merchandising can be achieved by a safe "tweak" like changing teal to green and/or using black more.

Officially dumping "Mighty" is smart for new ownership. Burke probably had this in his contract. Disney may have had this in their contract with new ownership. I was fine with "mighty", but it has to go because it was in a Disney movie.

Changing the logo is a good idea too. The logo is a great logo. I will miss it. I like the 2nd wild wing logo as well. Hopefully, these can be used somehow as they are a part of our past. But they have to go because they were in a Disney movie.

The colors are dated - very 1993 - not classic - Disney movie.

The real problem is that our current jerseys were in Disney movies. The Ducks lose respect across the league because of this - at least it provides a good target for opposing fans.

This is significant, and now is the time to change it.

Hopefully the new logo and colors are great. The pictures I have seen so far are not great.

DUCK OWNERS - GIVE US A GREAT JERSEY THAT WILL STAND THE TEST OF TIME AND WILL GIVE US AN IDENTITY ACROSS THE LEAGUE!

- A tough logo that will look great in 2043
- Great colors (orange and black could do it if there is an orange version that everybody can wear to make the crowd look unified)

This is the best I've seen. But ultimately, I will wait for the official unveiling on June 21st.

I did a quick color change and came up with what I think are 3 better versions....

I did a quick color change and came up with what I think are 3 better versions....

The first one is more or less what the Yorkton Terriers' jerseys look like. I'd say it's pretty nice. I'd actually love to have orange as a primary color so if we could get the people of Anaheim going with the Ducks, we could see a sea of orange out there. I'd like to think that'd look pretty sweet.

That's pretty hideous to me.

The black home jerseys look like the caps. The orange one is kinda unique. I'd say go for orange as primary color, no other team has it (except Flyers and Islanders alternates).

Focker, he must be a Duck.

I'm happy as long as they get rid of their bloody Mascot and cheesy intermission gimmicks. And I don't like their announcer either... he sounds like a Disney character... just MHO

Disney shouldn't have any touches on the "NEW" Ducks. And won't I'm sure.

Plus, this team is going to be fun to watch and strong contenders over the coming 5 years.... I'd be happy with a Mallard Duck with a stick it's mouth... with a couple rifles pointed at it's tail... I'm sure it will be fine whatever they choose, nothing was worse than the teal and purple... with the Disney Duck.

Oranges are part of the history of orange county....so why not... if it's like a rusty orange, chocolate and black with the green duck feathers... that would be cool.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Flying_mallard_duck_-_female.jpg

Something like this but with the "male-mallard" colours and with skates on and a stick in a cross-checking stance.

This is the best I've seen. But ultimately, I will wait for the official unveiling on June 21st.

I actually did those; last year the rumour was that it was going to be the third jersey and I thought green and orange would be the best colors. I actually did them pretty quickly though, and those proposed black & orange are far better.

This is the best I've seen. But ultimately, I will wait for the official unveiling on June 21st.

They should just use the baseball-esque third jerseys ImO. Orange and Green makes it look like a Halloween costume.

I liked all the logos. And Black and Orange sound like a great combo.

I'm just really happy that it's no longer the Mighty Ducks and that Jason/Daffy Duck logo is horrible.

I don't mind the name Mighty Ducks name, the logo is kind of childish, but still engraved in our hearts nonetheless ;).

Actually the Ducks org. legally has to change the design because Disney apparantly owns the rights to it.

I liked the idea floated around a few years ago..

dark green with Anaheim diagnolly across the front of the jersey like the Rangers design.

Well, pretty much everyone seems to like that jersey. I guess you don't.

Yeah I can't see why, it's so dull, no logo. It's not like the Rangers whose jerseys are classic so they don't need a logo.

Maybe you'll like it in 40 years.

The purple and teal color scheme are the laughing stock of the NHL. Horrible, horrible, horrible. Time to lose the "Disney" connection and move on with a whole new logo too. The Hockey mask/Donald Duck rip off has to go.

Everything will be revealed in 8 days correct? I thought I remembered the 21st as the day....

Hey, Mom Nature has been trying to make a cool-looking duck for millions of years, the least you can do is give some faceless marketing conglomerate a couple of days to do the same.

Many aren't pleased with colors they couldn't find in their original 8-color Crayola box (eggplant, jade), and couldn't expand their appreciation (even though Crayola eventually did).That is bang on, IMO. "Eggplant" and "jade" aren't sporting colours - they're interior designer colours.
Many don't like cartoon characters for logos, especially ones which didn't signify toughness, seemed too commercial, or which had kid appeal or reminded them of a movie marketed to kids by neighbor Disney.Right on the money again. For a while in the minor leagues, every team had to have a Joe Camel-like smirking cartoon animal in its logo. Take a look at the 'classic' unis (i.e. the original six) and you can see you don't need a goofy logo to sell jerseys.
I hope the colors are refreshing; the tired blue, red, and fashionable black of so many teams should not be repeated.Dude, I think I love you. I mean, I love your taste in jerseys. I, too, believe it's time to pull out some different-coloured crayons.

If the Ducks can put together a decent uni, I'll be the first in line for a new Selanne #13.

It's entertainment folks, we're near Hollywood, we're California, who cares if Disney came up with the original logo!

The Pond has always been a family friendly venue, more so than the Staples Center.
The kids love the logo, they love Wild Wing! There is too much retro stuff going on. Can't we move forward?

When you look at some of the 3rd. jerseys out there, there isn't much "intelligent design" out there. There is too much of a "lemming" approach to everything. We need immagination, daring.

I agree. I don't really think there was anything wrong with what the Ducks had for this season. People don't like the Ducks' colors and uniforms because they're unique. I'd much rather be unique rather than a carbon copy of some other, more original team; it's just like the saying goes, "You laugh at me because I'm different, but I laugh at you because you're all the same". I hope that it isn't orange and black as our new colors unless orange is the primary color, as that is something somewhat original. Orange and some shade of green would be awesome IMO. Maybe the eggplant and jade was just too radical for a sport like the NHL, but I hope to god that these new Ducks digs can be original in any way possible.

People don't like the Ducks' colors and uniforms because they're unique. I'd much rather be unique rather than a carbon copy of some other, more original team...
I'm all for unique. I'm just against fugly.

The 'eggplant' colour is fine, I guess. I just think it would have looked way better with orange or a goldenrod yellow (like the Steelers or Packers) as an accent colour instead of the 'jade'. I'm not keen on diagonal striping and I'll never be a fan of the old logo. One person's 'fun, irreverent' logo is another person's 'overly commercial, too-overtly-kid-friendly' logo, I guess.

IMO, the best Ducks jerseys were the thirds with the three stripes down the sleeves: Crap picture, but you get the idea. (http://www.icesk8.com/pstr6260.htm)

A few Ducks players will be in attendance signing autographs and showing off the new uniform. The Ducks Team Store will be open offering new merchandise and taking orders for the new Anaheim Ducks jersey. Make sure you are part of Ducks history June 22nd as the Anaheim Ducks begin a new era of hockey in Orange County!

"What's more, Arrowhead's sponsorship of the Pond ends Sept. 30, and other companies such as Toyota, Delta Air Lines and Cingular reportedly have joined the water company in talks about the arena's naming rights."



A few thoughts on this:

Toyota Already has a naming deal in Houston. Not too many companies have put their name on mulitple venues (American Airlines is one I can think of immediately).

Delta Air Lines Currently has naming deal in Salt Lake City (One of their hubs). Currently in Chapter 11 bankruptcy, and signing any naming deals may irk some of the employees who took significant pay cuts.

Cingular With AT&T buying out BellSouth, the Cingular name will be disappearing and Cingular will revert to the AT&T Wireless name (Cingular purchased AT&T Wireless in 2004).

Toyota's U.S. motor sales headquarters are in Torrance, CA and they are already sponsors of the Ducks. Although what might be a little odd is that Toyota has naming rights for the training facility where the Kings' practice (formerly Health South) in El Segundo.

That hat makes me think that the 3rd Jersey is going to become the regular jersey with a new logo and orange/gold instead of purple. It's very, very black, suggesting that it is the main color and not orange.

i could live with this one...and as im looking longer on in i like it...

I seriously hope that's not our new logo. I really do.

i think its kinda cool. id rock that hat.

I just find it dull. I was kind of hoping for something different than a plain script logo. Now if it's just a shoulder logo and a possible third jersey logo, then I won't have a problem with it.

a little dull yes, but better than a donald duck goalie mask. in thier quest to make the team more legitimate, they may have decided to go more conservative. cool colors, but theres no way im repainting my boys room those.

if you go on sportslogos, they arent sure if its a photoshop fake or not. someone made the black to green, which looks good too. id post a pic, but i have no idea how to do that.

its actually from fogdog, but i cant find the path now. maybe someone didnt want it on there yet.

I posted it on the NHL Board and it was quickly proven false:

It's a photoshopped version of this Pens cap (http://shop.nhl.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2348877&cp=1920312.1920535&parentPage=family&clickid=body_bestsell_img)

Yeah, now that I look at it, whoever did it didn't even bother to distort the logo so that it looks rounded like it would be if it were attached to the hat. It's a quick cut and paste of the possible logo that was making the rounds.

damn! fooled again.

I don't think it is fake. For one thing the pic and the link come from the Fog Dog online store. Yes it looks to be photoshopped but so are the rest of the teams. This is common if you look at jersey's from online stores such as NHL.com or the NFL shop right when something is new. The image hasn't been been posted in the main shop site because the logo hasn't been unvieled yet. Shops like these do get the graphics in advance so when the merchandise is unvieled they can immediatly post it and sell the merchendise. If you look through the sportslogos.net boards you can see than most of the new uniform and logo unvieling are sort of leaked like this before.

Yes it is similar to the Penguins but that only means the Ducks will have similar colors to the Penguins. The question has to be asked why would Fogdog have a fake Ducks cap image saved on their site?

So the black one I posted on here looks to be real. The green one on sportslogos.net is a photoshop one I made to see how green would look.

I just checked the NHL Shop urls they have the same cap saved there waiting for the Ducks to unveil the logo.

It's legit.

Well, that looks like it is it then. Bad leak after they had done such a good job of keeping the secret.

Well, I personally really like it!!! :) :yo:

Just looked at the NHL store some more. Looked at the 'Wings hat, and it's the same as the pens and this Ducks one. Just photoshoped from the same base photo for the lot of them. Could be real. But the Ducks on looks wrong to me. The front logo is not shaped to fit the hat like the wings one does. Meh, none of the pics are that well done when you look at them for a bit.

As an outside observer, I think that logo looks pretty cool...

I like it but it could very well be our "shoulder" logo and the crest on the front could be different. I think it does however confirm the color scheme though. I like the hat personally, wouldn't mind having one myself.

In looking at the other draft caps they all appear to have the crest logo on them. That makes me think this will be the Ducks crest logo.

Remember, this is a draft cap. Very often, draft caps have colors which differ from what is on the uniform.

Black would be lame. The champagne/orange combo on the logo could be pretty great on a jersey.

Also, the logo appears to be outlined in green. I think the NHL site used a photoshopped Pens hat under the Ducks crest because they don't have any better guesses.

I think (hope) that black will only play a minor role in the new scheme and that the champagne/orange/green combo will be dominant. I think it could be really cool.

Love the new colours, the logo is kind of plain it seems like its lacking something more than text. On that note at least is something most of us can live with.

Because the hat is black doesn't necessarily mean the jerseys will be black. San Jose, Carolina and New Jersey's draft caps are black, despite black not being the main color for their home uniforms(or away, for that matter). And Tampa Bay's draft cap, despite their home jerseys being black, is blue.

But, it seems that the script logo will indeed be our crest logo. I'd like it alot if they came up with an actual logo to use as our crest logo, but, if that's the way it is, I'd be happy with it. Also, going against the grain, I like the web-footed 'D', as just plain 'Ducks' would be boring in a way, and it's really something original.

I posted it on the NHL Board and it was quickly proven false:

It's a photoshopped version of this Pens cap (http://shop.nhl.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2348877&cp=1920312.1920535&parentPage=family&clickid=body_bestsell_img)
that could just be the logo photoshopped, the admins at md.com deleted it and gave no explanation.

Actually the Pittsburgh cap and the Anaheim one have a slightly different yellow. The Pens' is more gold and the Ducks' a bit more towards light orange.

I have to say I like it and its certainly better than the previous leaked logos and better than stealing the Flyers orange. ;)

They will be wearing black jerseys.

Like the logo, but both teams from southern California sporting black as their main colors would be lame.

Hey now! I did a couple of concept jerseys for the Ducks based off the logo on that draft cap. I'm curious to know how you think these would look.

Nice, but they look a lot like Minnesota jerseys.

Right. Unless the primary is orange or tan we'll look like the Wild.

Anything with Selannes name on it must be awesome :biglaugh: :biglaugh:

Selanne's was the first name that popped into my mind. Would it be fairer if I put Neidermayer's 44 on the back?

They're based off Anaheim's current alternate sweaters, and the colors I used were the ones found in that logo that was leaked.

No offense, but am I the only one that thinks that that green looks like puke green? I seriously hope that if we are going to be using green is not that green, I also hope there is some kind of black incorporated with the orange? As far as the logo goes, it looks good on the jerseys.

It might be your computer monitor, but to me, that's not puke green. Puke green would be the colour of this smiley: :cry:

On an entirely unrelated note, puke green was the colour of my dad's first car. Weird, eh?

Thanks for the comments. I appreciate it.

Here are my concepts with this logo. Tell me what you think about it, or modify it the way you want! I hope they don't have a "futuristic" looking jersey with diagonal or round shaped lines.

lol at the idea of lines that aren't straight as "futuristic". Welcome to the middle ages.

Anyway I like the concept better than the first we saw, though you completely ignored the color green.

I would be willing to bet that this is close to what we get on Thursday. There could be a picture logo instead of the word with the word on the sleeve.

A third jersey could be all orange.

Duff, could you crank out an orange one for us?

I'm not sure if it would be allowed, but something original I wouldn't mind seeing is that instead of white as our away jerseys, they're that nice tan color. I tried doing it on MS Paint, and it looked good at first, but it got a bit too tricky in the end. If it's allowed, I sure wouldn't mind seeing that. It looks pretty good on the Quebec Remparts, so why not us?

Also, those jerseys that Duff made(the ones I tinkered with) are pretty sweet. I'm not praying for black, but if the jerseys are like that, I wouldn't mind it. Orange would be sweet as well.

Coupla quick, crappy edits of Duff's template:

IMO I hope there is some kind of graphic added to the word "Ducks" it feels too plain, perhaps a flying duck or something?

The initial letter "D" in these guesses is created with a stylized duck foot. I agree, it's a departure from most logos which feature logos with primarily a graphic content. We still need something for the shoulder patches, and another conventional logo/graphic could serve that purpose as well as be used for representing the team in bullets, scoresheets, etc.

I noticed the "stylized duck foot," personally I think it's very creative. I just hope they don't use that foot as the logo on the shoulder. As for the logo to represent the team in bullets, scoresheets, etc. I am hoping they don't use the word "Ducks" with the duck foot as a D.

So you're kind of hoping that the wordmark logo isn't used anywhere.

Damn I thought today was the 21st! :p:

So, anyone know what time the news conference/unveiling is tomorrow?

10am on Thursday, not tomorrow. Unless I completely slept through Tuesday?

The day which had previously announced for the unveiling was 6/21, or Wednesday; no time given. The Ducks have a "Logo Launch Celebration" on Thursday 6/22 at the Pond; season seat holders have received an email inviting them. The Mighty Ducks website has a countdown clock stating that the name change will occur on 6/22 at about 7am.

They changed it then because I put the 21st on my Outlook calendar the first day I heard about it. The Mighty Ducks mainpage does have a countdown, which is at 1D:19H:12M...so that's something like 8AM on Thursday unless I am doing my math wrong.

Where'd you find these logos? They are sweet, I hope this is it. I really do.

They were made ages ago to be used in EA's NHL 06 as a fan mod (hance the strange shapes and such, it's set out like the skins are for the game). They are totally fictinal and used nothing as a reference. Someone posted them on AllDucks, not sure if they made them or not.

There's no chance that these are real.

Looks more like a swan IMO, but I like it :)

Something like that as our new logo would be awesome...

I don't like this "logo change". Where's the logo? Just the cursive writing?

Sabres are doing the same thing with changing logo, but I have no idea what direction they're going in.

so it's not today either?? Man Ive been waiting all month for this!!!

i like really these, i don't mind the typographic treatment of the previously leaked version.. but it seemed to be lacking the "duck" imagery.. these ones however... are really nice... the logo is almost like a shield.....not sure about the miami hurricanes colour scheme though (anything hurricanes kinda tugs me the wrong way right now, :cry: )

i am really really interested to see what they are going to to be.... i love sport team branding. :)

I doubt that would be the new logo since the Ducks staff would probably make pretty sure there would not be a leak in the new look until it is supposed to be revealed. But if that is the new look, I like it. It looks sharp.

Or maybe thay'll not have it hosted on an NHL official site. Wait! They've done that too!

I don't know how the mentality of people work. Sometimes when I visit other hockey forums and look on threads about the new name and new Anaheim logo, so-called hockey fans trash talk the Ducks. When are people going to grow out of it? The fact that our name has the word "Mighty" in our team name doesn't mean this team is owned by kids and does not know how to play hockey. The fact that we were once owned by Disney does not change the fact that we are a real hard working hockey team like any other NHL team. In fact, during the team's fairly short existence, this team has achieved a lot more than a lot of teams can claim they have: we were one game away from the Stanley Cup and we have appeared two times in our conference finals. Not a lot of franchises can claim such things, as the TheJoeMan said: unless your team has done better than ours recently, you have no word on this. I am honestly tired of people trash talking our team and looking down on it when in reality their own team is currently not doing much better than an once owned Disney team with a childish name. Do not judge a team by their name or their logo, cause you are just going to end up looking bad when your team loses. I just hope one day people realize that this team is like any other NHL team and that it deserves the respect of the league and their fans. Disney or no Disney, Mighty or not Mighty, I am proud to say that I love my Ducks.

nothing there...

anahiemducks.com is up although you have to type in the address the link from nhl.com goes to mightyducks still.

http://www.anaheimducks.com/

i like that logo and nice new site as well

nothing there...
The cap was there when I posted the link, must have been fixed since. It was a page like all the other cap pages, but with are cap.


Anyways, link (http://www.anaheimducks.com/fanzone/pplayers.php). The site is up, just not the front page.

Now it says 2 hours and 14 minutes to the name change. Someone has moved the time again. Anyway, the new site looks pretty good, but still no sign of an actual logo besides the script one. I hope the duckfoot D isn't going to be the shorthand logo. I don't think it will look great on it's own and as others have said, an entirely textbased logo isn't used in sports as far as I can tell. Something simpler needs to represent the team at a glance.

mhhhhh...not sure if I like this new logo...it's gonna take some time...

Boring. I was hoping for a real logo, not just that dull script. What a waste. They could've erased the image of wild wing from our collective minds with a new logo, but instead they show they can't come up with something better. Fire the design team and try again.

Hmmm....link not working for me.

edit: Nevermind...I see it now.

Not a fan of just using the name as the logo on a jersey. That's why I never warmed up to those black alternates. The only team that can pull of the name on the front look is the Rangers because that is a old-time traditional look for them. They need a crest on the front of those jerseys.

Great, another black jersey. I've already stated what I think about the logo, and I still hold those sentiments

Yeah, just the script on the front of the jersey's is lame. Very bland.

Decent colors I guess...but the front logo there is just blah.

I like the colors a lot!!

Come on, check out Teemu in your avatar? He looks sharp doesn't he? Now take that black jersey and snazz it up a bit and viola! The new Ducks jersey!

i really like these uniforms

BTW, for all the "not another black jersey" people, what teams currently are using a black jersey as their primary home jersey? I know the freaking Queens do, but who else? I don't feel like thinking. I'm just wondering if the proliferation of black is as bad as everyone says.

I love them.

So what if it isn't "flashy"...

I think more people will buy and wear this merch. It is less "family" and more "typical sports fan" in nature...

No, sorry, I think these look awful. That gold band looks hideous. Way to work in the orange there, one lousy little stripe that we won't even be able to see.

No imagination at work here. This is seriously disappointing.

Ottawa
Boston
Buffalo
Philadelphia
Pittsburgh
Tampa Bay
Washington
Chicago
Calgary
Edmonton
Vancouver
Dallas
Los Angeles
San Jose

All have a jersey with the main color being black. Granted in some cases, it's a third jersey, but still, then count teams like New Jersey and Carolina who use it like a complimentary colour. It's overused.
I'm all for white away team jerseys, but does the home team always have to wear black?

Anyone else notice that the stripes are at an angle? I'm guessing that is sort of a tribute to the original Ducks jerseys and the angular stripes.

Philadephia, Pittsburgh, Vancouver, LA, Washington, Buffalo (both BUF and WAS are getting a new jersey, so maybe not black for much longer), Atlanta, Boston, and Tampa Bay right off the top of my head.

theres no black in the edmonton colours... its a dark blue... but i could see how it looks like black sometimes...

The only way this jersey could have been more generic is if it said "jersey" on the front instead of Anaheim Ducks.

So, are they still going to have a third jersey?

I remember when those Oilers' 3rd jerseys came out and everyone thought they were black on TV. They looked like the old Kings' jerseys.

Actually yes, but it manifests itself with greens.

I mistook the Canuck dark navy for black, my bad.

I thought it was black too.

Honestly, they would have been better off just using their third alternate jersey as a template for their new uniforms. Even with the colors resembling the cross town rivals, they should have just gone with a really dark shade of green instead of black (darker than the ones Dallas wears. Think of the midnight blue style worn by the Canucks, only green).

I remember when those Oilers' 3rd jerseys came out and everyone thought they were black on TV. They looked like the old Kings' jerseys.

i remember when they showed design concepts on the news the day of the the reveal... they got the logo right but the colours were WAY off... they were like light grey and light blue... it was nasty..

i never thought they looked black however... maybe it was just me....

I thought it was black too.

So really, doesn't that go back to the original point. What's the point of having dark navy like Edmonton, Florida, Atlanta and Vancouver if it appears on TV broadcasts as black and so on?
There is a distinct lack of creativity when it comes to colour in the NHL. Now I'm not advocating a return to the eggplant or even the old Phoenix colours of burnt sienna, flesh and some sort of teal, but isn't there a happy medium here? Are all the graphic artists working with a colour palette of eight.

congrats, lamest logo in the league.

It'll look great when our boys are skating around in those jerseys next season, especially when they are holding the Stanley Cup! :handclap:

Also you will get to watch men in black vs men in white in your building for a while now. Goodbye colors!

The only way this jersey could have been more generic is if it said "jersey" on the front instead of Anaheim Ducks.

I'm totally fine with generic, after 10 years of cartoony.

A good design is posted here (http://img85.imageshack.us/img85/7098/anaheimduckswrldwydehomejersey.jpg) and here (http://img142.imageshack.us/img142/6953/anaheimduckswrldwydeawayjersey.jpg). Nothing to do with the leaked logo, but it looks nice.

I really liked these.

Oh well.

3 minutes left! I don't know what actually happens then, but 3 minutes left!

Oh gosh, I think I'll cry.

Seriously, who cares? I'll take black over eggplant any day of the week and twice on Sundays.

At least there was identity in the old jerseys. A striking logo (albeit a disney one) and unique colours. Now you got a logo that will look out of place compared to all the other logos in the leage because of its shape instead and a team that looks like the Flyers.

I think you hit the nail on the head. It may be boring to some, but no more kiddy jokes.

Honestly, I don't think anyone cares for your "insight". Get outta here.

Don't worry, morons will still make fun of the name - it's not ferocious enough, lame Ducks etc.

Only way to shut em up is to win and with the collection of talent on this team and in the organization we will win.

Honestly, I can lament this change all I want. I thought this was a discussion thread. Stop reading if you don't like it.

BTW, there likely won't be a ton of white and black in the pond. I read on ALLDUCKS.com that they're gonna pimp out the orange and hand out orange t-shirts on opening day.

Take away whole Disney/movie thing, I liked the old logo. The old-time goalie mask in the shape of a ducks head, pretty clever concept. The colors were different rom other teams. The new colors are pretty cool...I've just never been a fan of black jerseys as the primary look for a team. I was disappointed when the Flyers went full time with their alternates. That orange jersey was something distinct to them...looks aside.

So....is that it? What happens now?

Its fine to discuss, but there is no reason for you to come over here and tell us how sh!tty our new jerseys are and lament on that. We get that you think they don't look good and all. So now that you've stated your opinion, you can leave.

The colors are cool enough, I just wish the logo were better. In any event, I like 'em better than the old ones.

so it is official that we are Anaheim ducks and that is our new logo?

i want to change name and logo in online hockey manager, but im not sure if all nfo is right...
thanks

The proliferation of black jerseys was a 1990s thing really. The Senators switched their primaries to red, the Sabres wear red more and more, the Flyers and Blackhawks have hopefully learned the folly of making black the primary color on their otherwise good, traditional uniforms... there aren't a ton left, even though many teams use it for trim.

There was a real "midnight blue" proliferation in the late '90s (Edmonton, Islanders, Vancouver, Atlanta, etc.), but the red-and-black combo seems to be what's overdone now (the Final 4 in the Eastern Conference all had practically the same uniforms!)

So the black wouldn't bother me in and of itself, though it's a shame teams are so afraid of colors like yellow, orange and green except in tiny amounts.

personally I was a fan of the old Phoenix Coyotes third jersey (at least the green and the orange) and was hoping for something like that. Green is a really underused color, with only Minnesota and Dallas being the other teams that use it.

I don't really mind the logo that much.. or that the base colour is black.. but does anyone else think they look a little too much like the Penguins jerseys? Especially the away one.

Yes. It's a hybrid of modern Penguins with old Canucks.

I think it looks fine. It's hockey, not a fashion contest. Hopefully this brings more respect to the franchise than the whining that used to go on about the name and logo.

I think you hit the nail on the head. It may be boring to some, but no more kiddy jokes.

Whew, the mean fans of other teams won't tease us now. What a relief.

I actually like the new jersies. :)

Marchant and Perry posing with the new look. Me likey. :)

Actually the design of the jersey isn't too bad. All I'd do is use a dark green instead of black.

We'll probably still hear the "Ducks is a dumb name" comments. It seems that we are the natural target for smart *** remarks.

Marchant and Perry posing with the new look. Me likey. :)

I like the numbers....

If anyone has images of the back cresting (name and numbers), I would love to see them. They can really make or break a jersey. Remember the Tampa jerseys with the old numbering? Hideous! They went to a traditional font and they look significantly better now, although not great.

Holy crap, I almost can't recognize Marchant helmetless and clean shaven.

LOL DAVEY!!! :biglaugh: :biglaugh: :biglaugh: Back numbers shown in this one.

Here are the duo again. :)

I like them a little better now...the big numbers are nice. Finally out with the purple helmets though. ;)

ugh.. a little disappointing. They couldn't convince someone a little more prominent than Marchant to show up?

from a non-Anaheim fan perspective, I kind of like them. Not great, but I dont think they're bad. I don't care for the slanted stripes much though. Symbol is better than the last, but a bit weak. I think it's a definite improvement over the last ones. It could always be worse.

me like.

I don't know if I like the new Ducks logo or not. It's ok but I guess I was expecting more. When I first saw this logo i thought "ok, that's the logo they'll use on the shoulders and 3d jerseys, now let's see what the main logo will look like". Well, I guess I'll get used to it.

I like it.

After seeing the pics with Perry and Marchant, the jersey design is growing on me. The logo works too i guess but looks weird standing next to all the other league logos. Just look at the boards start page...

Agree. I don't care for the slanted stripes either, but otherwise it looks good

Two things:
1) Wild Wing is apparently not dead
2) Is that the orange t-shirt they are talking about that he's wearing? (EDIT: Nevermind, that is some sort of jersey, maybe the practice jersey?) And anyone else think it's odd that orange is very, very subtle on the jersey, yet they are supposedly going to try and "orange-out" the Pond? I'm guessing the third jerseys are going to have to be orange or else what the hell is the point of even having it in the first place if it's just a thin stripe.

Very cool. I like them a lot.

Love it.

But are they just not having a shoulder logo? Or has it not been unveiled yet?

Wild Wing lives and was wearing the practice jersey.
There is no third jersey in the works - yet.
Susan Samueli (sp?) mentioned that she wants orange to be prominent in the seats and then gives us a black jersey. Perhaps we will get free T-Shirts at games where they want everything to be orange.

The jerseys look pretty good in person. The logo looks good on the jersey - I realize that it looks different than most teams but isn't that OK? Maybe other teams will follow because it may be a better idea than putting a cartoon on front. Can you imagine if there was no such thing as the red wings and then somebody put that thing on the front of their jersey? It would likely not be well received. I am not ripping on the red wings - just giving some perspective. Most people love their logo because they love their team. Any logo can be scrutinized by a non-fan of any team.

Im liking it guys wow Im liking the new Ducks well done

I love the new colors, but I would have liked the logo posted a few pages back a lot better. However, definitely an improvement though, and I know I'll learn to love it.

Its not my team but.

I hate them. They are too generic, and the colors remind me too much of bruins and penguins.

I know ill eventually grow used to it. but still...

Im rlly gunna miss the old ones :bow: :ducks FOREVER!!!!!!
