Drop the shoulders and bring back the look full time. Please
What a joke....laughing stock of the League.... these were a joke when it was taken over by Disney.
Biggest thing to keep in mind is that it's a one off for the 25th anniversary.
I like the Ducks and I don't think it's a bad nickname. I think they can do so much with that name/logo, I always thought they should do something with mallard duck colours - green, black (just because brown probably doesn't look too great on a hockey jersey) and orange (obviously). I think the hockey mask on the duck is okay and I get they are going with the history, but, Disney made a fool out of the franchise. Imho... At least, it's just a third jerseyOh man this is a funny way of putting it considering it was pretty much the exact consensus when they were the Mighty Ducks.
Biggest thing to keep in mind is that it's a one off for the 25th anniversary. They didn't market the older looks that well for the 20th anniversary, I dont think they mass sold old jerseys even, but now they're dipping their toes in the water a bit. If these sell well, and I suspect they will, that won't go unnoticed.
If the jersey is a success then I wouldn't be shocked if it's more than a one off and becomes a permanent third. The Rangers heritage jerseys were for the 85th anniversary in 2010 and stuck all the way to last season before Adidas took over.
Same with the Senators black O jerseys. And the Oilers oranges now are their homes. Same with the black and yellow Penguins jerseys that were originally alternates and now replaced the Vegas gold as their main scheme.
My biggest issue with the jersey is the shoulders, granted its grown on me a bit the more ive seen it... obviously the originals were basically perfect... and honestly I wish wed go back to those but im growing on these 1s.not a big fan of the jersey but that logo... I don't understand how you get away from a logo like that.
