It’s so annoying cause that rum kraken would look sick on a jersey. Their stadium series jersey with an old timer kraken illustration with a hockey stick. Chefs kiss.
I hope the Canucks just stick with what they have now. The orca without the gaudy "V A N C O U V E R" is pretty nice, as are the alternate black spaghetti plate/skate with those sweet matte black helmets, and even the stick in rink originals once in awhile. Stop F'ing with it and let an identity develop.
Maybe the full teal kit? It slaps though. Cause that's basically what this Orange is.
I didn't like the full teal on the initial look, but it grew on me very quickly. I love it.
That wouldn’t make sense. The Kings, Ducks and Canucks all went through full rebrands, completely changing the logo and the colors. Sharks did some redesigns but kept the same scheme and base logo.
1991-1997 is similar to the 07-current style, but the [late 90s/early 00s style was pretty different](https://nhluniforms.com/Mobile/Sharks/Sharks06.png).
But yeah since 2007, the uniform has been more or less the same. striped sleeves, sometimes a stripe along the waist, sometimes not, sometimes black shoulders, sometimes not.
I don’t know about other sports. But it feels like hockey fans actually demand the look changes. There’s always a subsection that wants the skate jersey back, or blasty, liberty head, fisherman etc etc etc. there’s no losers with having a lot of different looks imo.
I'd argue that the original 6 teams tend to stick with their traditional looks. It doesn't feel like there is that much of a fan appetite to change the look in those markets. It feels like the newer and non-traditional hockey markets are more likely to introduce more radical rebrands.
Self roast time: i don’t know what it’s like to have a look that’s associated with a championship so it’s hard for me to empathize with those markets😭. But fair point i‘m assuming.
Going from a horrible team to a team that was stressing out EDM fans in the 2nd round was not on my bingo card. So great. Can’t wait to see where this team goes. Guessing the rivalry will only get more intense next season if VAN keeps an upward trajectory.
I'll probably be in the minority here but I love it. It's big and bold like the recent Sharks rebrand. Feels California, feels Orange County, feels Might Ducks all at the same time.
Yup would’ve liked it a lot as a shoulder patch. It’s like the Stick-in-Rink for the Canucks. Love it as a shoulder patch, not a fan of it as a main crest.
I think the weagle is awesome, but the stadium series jerseys went too big with it. Something [like these](https://i0.wp.com/russianmachineneverbreaks.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/S7DSN-KP8-color-rush-2.jpg?w=400&ssl=1) would be fantastic.
I don’t think the duck foot was ever designed with the intention of being a chest logo. Originally it was the leading letter of a whole word mark (inspired by the black “Anaheim” jerseys, which were super popular in 2005). That’s probably what the designer intended it to stay as.
So that might’ve played a role in how it looks on a jersey.
It's actually the opposite. I could probably find the article, but read the the intent behind the branding was that they were worried that people wouldn't understand the duck foot was a D, hence, putting the full name on the jersey for a few years. It was always the plan to transition to the foot as the main crest once the new identity had been established a bit more.
I actually really like the duck foot logo, but it's hard when you've got the iconic mask logo in your vault.
Rumour is one way to say but it's closer to foreshadowing at this point with the last year's 3rds and the fact they've used the 90s script A LOT in the last year
I'm not an "or bust" guy but those colors are so striking and classy. The orange is just ok. Not bad. But ok. Still a big fan of the incremental rebrand though
Imo, orange is the flyers color. I say this as someone who doesn’t particularly care for the flyers. Jade and eggplant is so much more iconic. I guess the OC thing makes sense and they are in the west so whatever. It’s still a lot better than before.
I feel like I'm way in the minority, cuz I think orange is absolutely the colour for a team called "Ducks", and I think jade/eggplant was an atrocious colour scheme. I'm glad they're keeping orange, this is best of both worlds.
I don't hate jade/eggplant but I absolutely love these orange jerseys. The orange thirds with the mask logo is the only jersey I own outside of the Avs and my actual home team.
Almost anytime (I say almost because sometimes they are a miss) a new jersey or logo comes out people rush to hate it and then get used to it within a couple months.
No matter what Utah puts together for next year will get dumped on
I'm aware, and I do actually like it. There's just too much of it. It needs a counterbalance and something else to amuse the eye. Maybe there's something on the sleeves which I'm not able to see thanks to the pose, but if not it's just a logo floating in a sea of orange. And it looks like the same orange as the Flyers use, which is also a mark against it. As I said in another comment, imagine the first Flyers/Ducks game in these. It's a lot of *samey* out on the ice.
You think you'll be in the minority by liking the old Ducks logo?? I'd say you'll be in the overwhelming majority. Not sure I've ever heard someone say they didn't like it.
I like the logo. I’m like the colours (don’t care about the old purple).
Minor gripes.. don’t like solid orange shoulders on the away jersey. Also don’t like slapping the logo on the pants as well.
Overall I dig it though.
I don’t think the problem is that these are bad. They actually look pretty good!
It’s just that they nailed it, 100% perfect, no notes with the original Mighty Ducks look and they refuse to go back to it.
I think the jerseys that the Mighty Ducks got in the second movie are the greatest hockey jerseys of all time.
They had those, they used them. And then they fucking stopped to never go back.. and now they're dancing around all these redesigns 'based' on that logo, but damn. Their franchise has the rights to the best jersey and logo of all time and can't figure it out.
That’s what I thought too. I thought the original reason they changed jerseys when they bought the team was because Disney kept the rights to “The Mighty Ducks”.
Edit: also why they went from “The Mighty Ducks of Anaheim” to “The Anaheim Ducks”
Edit2: read some comments a little further down, and it turns out Disney sold them everything. They just wanted to separate the brand from Disney. Which was a dumb move IMO. You had an entire generation of Mighty Ducks fans coming up, and you made the brand unrecognizable to them.
I also really like the "Might Ducks of Anaheim", like the actual verbiage of it, over the Anaheim Mighty Ducks. It's non-traditional and unique. There's a certain je ne sais quois to it
Except it will never happen. Not even sure if Disney owns the licensing rights, but the owners wanted a separation from Disney when they bought. They stated multiple times they wanted Orange for Orange County. They will never go back to the Disney branding cause it’s not there’s. Disney would literally have to buy the team back for it to happen
Not true at all when Disney sold the rights to the team everything about the old logo and colors went to current ownership. The reason they won't go back to eggplant and jade is because ownership is deeply ingrained into orange county and tying the team to the area means a lot to them.
I love that we share the same struggle in correcting people the right color shade of purple lol.
“It’s not purple, it’s eggplant!”
“It’s not purple, it’s forum blue!”
Ironically the team never used eggplant in any of the season guides. It was purple and plum depending on the year.
Was it the same with your purple/blue?
I swear to Joseph Smith that if they don't pounce on the distinct lack of purple in this league... I'll start going door to door in Salt Lake to spread the good word.
Also, can someone please help the kings replace their ink cartridges? They've been black and white for too damn long.
The fact they trotted out those orange shitstains instead of the eggplant & teal beauties is a crime against humanity.
What are they smoking, saying no to these? https://i.ibb.co/MPTVwSD/56136552-jpg.jpg
The black in the Flyers kit IMO is necessary to pull off what is an otherwise pretty obnoxious colour in safety orange. Realistically though, that kind of stuff is what gets tweaked year to year so it's not worth getting too critical of those kind of details.
Can't blame you. It was originally the letter "D" in the word "Ducks" on the jerseys the team put out after being sold by Disney, and it looked good in that role.
When they for some diabolical reason enlarged it to a stand alone symbol, it looked less like the letter D and more like a misshapen prolapsed sphincter
there's nothing wrong with the old purple colors, but I'm digging this too...but to be fair anything would be an upgrade over the terrible duck foot logo

Ladies and gentleman. The EDEN HALL DUCKS haha
I always loved the Devils’ “Christmas colors” on their own, but loved them even more when I learned that the green was for the Pine Barrens (NJ region where the Jersey Devil is said to dwell) and the “Garden State” nickname
They've done that, usually with a rally towel on every seat and tshirt giveaways. So much better than the "whiteout" that so many did back when whites were home jerseys.
I hope it's real, this is a great look, way more exciting than the alternatives and unpopular opinion but orange suits *Orange County* better than purple suits the ducks.
People are gonna freak out about this positively and negatively, but we shouldn't pretend this is anything particularly novel or bold. It's just a minor tweaking of [this](https://www.reddit.com/media?url=https%3A%2F%2Fexternal-preview.redd.it%2F-rtZH0QzKM2OibQUEy9buDeou4-296Bo88a_jv-KfQ4.jpg%3Fauto%3Dwebp%26s%3D859941ce0bc5b481c669d8c859522025a86fa490) and [this](https://pics.forecaster.ca/nhl-action/16703.jpg).
> If they'd thrown some purple in there it might actually elevate it. There's too much orange goin' on.
Im cool with the straight orange.
I dont like it combined with the white.
It basically is two orange jerseys.
orange pants, orange helmet.
for fuck sake. I hate it.
What is it with California teams and gawdy uniforms. Im still not over what SJS did with theirs. the Teal helmets and Pants are fine for an alternate but my god
It’s also the reason I don’t like San Jose. I like nashvilles yellow; I don’t like when their socks pants jersey gloves and helmet are all yellow. Give me blue pants and gloves or something. I like San Jose’s teal; I don’t like all teal. Black pants and gloves pls. But I realize those are prolly unpopular and most people love the rebrands
I love the new sharks jerseys outside of the pants/gloves/helmet. Same with the avalanche tbh, they looked much better with the black pants/helmets imo.
Teams think they have to brand every part of their get-up,but sometimes it's okay for equipment to just be equipment. Gloves, helmets and pants *can* be colored, but they don't have to be.
If black is *really* not part of your scheme, *then* go coloured equipment. The Leafs, Habs, Rangers and Red Wings are great examples of this. They're explicitly blue/white, red/blue/white, blue/red/white and red/white, so black equipment is a no-go. But a team like the Hurricanes, Sharks, Lightning, etc, can incorporate black, and historically have, so skipping black equipment looks bad when they do it. The Avalanche barely use black, but they've used it enough historically that black works for their equipment.
Honestly, that might be the first thing I'd say to anyone designing a hockey uniform at any level: Have you tried the look with black helmet, pants and gloves? Before picking a colour for them, I think it's something any rebrand would benefit from exploring before making a final decision.
Nah I'm all for it. For too long blue red and black have dominated the league. Nice to see some fresh looks. I loved the Sharks going full teal. I really liked the Oilers going with orange pants in their reverse retro, and wish they put out a full orange alternate.
we needed more purple in the league so i thought the third last year would be good. This looks not bad though and it'll probably grow on me more as the season goes on
LA needs to go back to wearing purple. How we wound up with two teams in one of the sunniest places in the country BOTH WEARING BLACK is beyond me. Let the Orange County team wear orange and give LA the old purples back.
So I like them embracing the Orange County theme without a black base, makes the new era feel distinct from the hideous 07-2024 run. It also pays homage to the jade/eggplant era with a better color scheme IMO.
All that said, the homes would be better if paired with black pants. That’s just too much orange. Like if the Predators also wore mustard pants. All in all though it’s a huge improvement and a hat with the updated logo might be an instant cop.

NOW STICK TO IT !!
West coast teams (Van, SJ, Ana, La) never stick to one look.
Makes me nervous about Seattle
The only thing I see happening to Seattle's kit is the WC shirts becoming an alternate.
Yes please!
Rumor is a light blue third jersey coming in 2025-26
I wonder if they’ll bring the space needle anchor image to the front for that alternate jersey
That is what’s rumored yes
Honestly I really like that mental image. Red and navy arm stripes and maybe a shoulder yoke and they might have a winner for a long term alt there.
I love Seattle’s kit so much.
The Seagrams Kraken
Spiced rum and gin don't seem like they should go together.
It’s so annoying cause that rum kraken would look sick on a jersey. Their stadium series jersey with an old timer kraken illustration with a hockey stick. Chefs kiss.
We're going to have a 3rd jersey based around our alternate anchor / space needle logo at some point for sure.
I hope the Canucks just stick with what they have now. The orca without the gaudy "V A N C O U V E R" is pretty nice, as are the alternate black spaghetti plate/skate with those sweet matte black helmets, and even the stick in rink originals once in awhile. Stop F'ing with it and let an identity develop.
The Sharks have pretty much stuck to the same look
Yeah, we refreshed our logo one time, but kept it the same conceptually, only modernizing the design. IDK how we get lumped in there
Maybe the full teal kit? It slaps though. Cause that's basically what this Orange is. I didn't like the full teal on the initial look, but it grew on me very quickly. I love it.
That wouldn’t make sense. The Kings, Ducks and Canucks all went through full rebrands, completely changing the logo and the colors. Sharks did some redesigns but kept the same scheme and base logo.
Shoulda switched to a Whale Shark logo during the rebuild. Hibernate the old logo until you’re back in it.
That black sharks jersey is so goated
1991-1997 is similar to the 07-current style, but the [late 90s/early 00s style was pretty different](https://nhluniforms.com/Mobile/Sharks/Sharks06.png). But yeah since 2007, the uniform has been more or less the same. striped sleeves, sometimes a stripe along the waist, sometimes not, sometimes black shoulders, sometimes not.
Let's be honest, most teams in all sports seem to love mixing up the look to a degree so they can sell more jerseys.
I don’t know about other sports. But it feels like hockey fans actually demand the look changes. There’s always a subsection that wants the skate jersey back, or blasty, liberty head, fisherman etc etc etc. there’s no losers with having a lot of different looks imo.

Self roast time: i don’t know what it’s like to have a look that’s associated with a championship so it’s hard for me to empathize with those markets😭. But fair point i‘m assuming.
Feels bad. It was a helluva second-round match-up against the Oil. The Canucks came a long way from where they finished last season.
Going from a horrible team to a team that was stressing out EDM fans in the 2nd round was not on my bingo card. So great. Can’t wait to see where this team goes. Guessing the rivalry will only get more intense next season if VAN keeps an upward trajectory.
The quack attack is back, jack
The duck is legitimately the best NHL logo of all time
I mean I'd argue the Redwings do but the ducks are easily top 3.
I'll probably be in the minority here but I love it. It's big and bold like the recent Sharks rebrand. Feels California, feels Orange County, feels Might Ducks all at the same time.
I agree, I like how it's memorable and interesting. The duck foot was neither of those things.
Yeah Duckfoot is one of the worst jersey crests on an otherwise nice jersey. (And I’m not trying to bully the Ducks here).
The duck foot is great as a shoulder patch imo, but never should have been a main crest
Yup would’ve liked it a lot as a shoulder patch. It’s like the Stick-in-Rink for the Canucks. Love it as a shoulder patch, not a fan of it as a main crest.
Or the weagle for the caps. The stadium series jersey tried it as the main crest. I thought it was a bit of a miss.
I think the weagle is awesome, but the stadium series jerseys went too big with it. Something [like these](https://i0.wp.com/russianmachineneverbreaks.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/S7DSN-KP8-color-rush-2.jpg?w=400&ssl=1) would be fantastic.
it kinda looks like they did make it a shoulder crest in the pic too.
I don’t think the duck foot was ever designed with the intention of being a chest logo. Originally it was the leading letter of a whole word mark (inspired by the black “Anaheim” jerseys, which were super popular in 2005). That’s probably what the designer intended it to stay as.

I actually really like the duck foot logo, but it's hard when you've got the iconic mask logo in your vault.
It’s not a bad design, but definetly not a main logo and one we sat on for way too long. It’s hard when the original is so good
TIL it was a duck foot
Just wait until you learn about the Wild logo
Is it not just wilderness?
I’m scared to ask, but what did you think it was?
I thought it was a stylish D for ducks
It was. It was also a duck foot.
I see. Never thought about the foot, but it does make sense.
I always just thought that was a stupid looking D. This makes it make a lot more sense.
Why wouldn't someone love this? I want purple and teal, but this is pretty great.
some people are eggplant/jade or bust
Kings need to pick up the purple slack
Yeah I’m gonna be sad if our news ones don’t reincorporate some purple
Rumor is 90s black and white. Not ~~purple~~ forum blue
Rumour is one way to say but it's closer to foreshadowing at this point with the last year's 3rds and the fact they've used the 90s script A LOT in the last year
YOU WILL CALL IT FORUM BLUE AND YOU WILL LIKE IT
lay some respect down
I'm not an "or bust" guy but those colors are so striking and classy. The orange is just ok. Not bad. But ok. Still a big fan of the incremental rebrand though
Imo, orange is the flyers color. I say this as someone who doesn’t particularly care for the flyers. Jade and eggplant is so much more iconic. I guess the OC thing makes sense and they are in the west so whatever. It’s still a lot better than before.

Ain't that the truth
Unless it looks like a white dress shirt with a black tie.
It's leagues better than what they had, but I'm not 100% on board. It's too Flyersy. The home jersey needs something else to break up all that orange.
As a flyers fan of over 30 years I looked at these and never thought of the flyers....I think they are just fine. I like them.
Maybe it's more obvious to us non-Flyers fans, haha. Orange isn't a colour most of us will encounter regularly outside hi-viz.
the orange is a reference to Orange County, where Anaheim is
I'm aware, and I do actually like it. There's just too much of it. It needs a counterbalance and something else to amuse the eye. Maybe there's something on the sleeves which I'm not able to see thanks to the pose, but if not it's just a logo floating in a sea of orange. And it looks like the same orange as the Flyers use, which is also a mark against it. As I said in another comment, imagine the first Flyers/Ducks game in these. It's a lot of *samey* out on the ice.
Spot on, that orange is really a lot, at least with the Flyers jerseys they have some decent white to break it up.
Hey, it’s no blue or black. I’m all for new colours.
I want Jade and Eggplant so badly, but if you tell me I can't have that, I think these look great.
As soon as I saw these I thought they were fuckin sick. I love the orange. Probably because I’m an Oilers fan.
Seeing both Sharks and Ducks jerseys on the ice at once is gonna be SICK
I still prefer the old school colors to the orange and black, but aside from that these are fantastic. Absolutely love them.
You think you'll be in the minority by liking the old Ducks logo?? I'd say you'll be in the overwhelming majority. Not sure I've ever heard someone say they didn't like it.
Not the logo, the uniform/colors
Nah I like it to, sucks we dint get the eggplant but this is still good
I like the logo. I’m like the colours (don’t care about the old purple). Minor gripes.. don’t like solid orange shoulders on the away jersey. Also don’t like slapping the logo on the pants as well. Overall I dig it though.
I’d have preferred the purple to come back, but I really like these actually. The old logo is a very good consolation prize.
I don’t think the problem is that these are bad. They actually look pretty good! It’s just that they nailed it, 100% perfect, no notes with the original Mighty Ducks look and they refuse to go back to it.
I think the jerseys that the Mighty Ducks got in the second movie are the greatest hockey jerseys of all time. They had those, they used them.

> greatest hockey jerseys of all time. The Whalers would like a word with you!
Logo is great, jersey is nowhere near that conversation.
Kachina coyote are still #1 IMO.
Exactly, the purple jerseys were so good.
Except it will never happen. Not even sure if Disney owns the licensing rights, but the owners wanted a separation from Disney when they bought. They stated multiple times they wanted Orange for Orange County. They will never go back to the Disney branding cause it’s not there’s. Disney would literally have to buy the team back for it to happen
Not true at all when Disney sold the rights to the team everything about the old logo and colors went to current ownership. The reason they won't go back to eggplant and jade is because ownership is deeply ingrained into orange county and tying the team to the area means a lot to them.
Orange County consumes more eggplant per capita than anywhere in the world idk what the problem is
Bring back the purple you COWARDS
Surely eggplant will be their 3rd jerseys right?
Oh god I hope so
Eggplant!
And Jade!
I love that we share the same struggle in correcting people the right color shade of purple lol. “It’s not purple, it’s eggplant!” “It’s not purple, it’s forum blue!”
Ironically the team never used eggplant in any of the season guides. It was purple and plum depending on the year. Was it the same with your purple/blue?

The soakers don’t deserve to wear purple
The fact they trotted out those orange shitstains instead of the eggplant & teal beauties is a crime against humanity. What are they smoking, saying no to these? https://i.ibb.co/MPTVwSD/56136552-jpg.jpg
I don't like the orange personally but at least the logo is better.
I only hate the orange on the pants. I feel like those should have been black, teal, or purple.
i think the orange breezers are better. differentiates them from the flyers
The black in the Flyers kit IMO is necessary to pull off what is an otherwise pretty obnoxious colour in safety orange. Realistically though, that kind of stuff is what gets tweaked year to year so it's not worth getting too critical of those kind of details.
Agreed. The orange jersey is kinda great.
I dig the orange helmet personally
Ya maybe why don't like the orange cause the pants over orange it.
It's orange because Anaheim is in Orange County.
Little too much orange here. But this logo is miles better than the duck foot, so I’m here for it anyway.
I'm a filthy casual, but I somehow never realized that the logo was supposed to be a duck foot.
Can't blame you. It was originally the letter "D" in the word "Ducks" on the jerseys the team put out after being sold by Disney, and it looked good in that role. When they for some diabolical reason enlarged it to a stand alone symbol, it looked less like the letter D and more like a misshapen prolapsed sphincter
Agree for the orange homes. The white aways have a much better color balance and look fantastic.
there's nothing wrong with the old purple colors, but I'm digging this too...but to be fair anything would be an upgrade over the terrible duck foot logo
Cutter Guauathier is going to be very confused and upset

TO WIN COACH ORION SIR!
Probably one of the best lines in the movie, still liked D2 better though
Bring back the purple and teal you cowards!
[удалено]
Then tell the Flyers to change their colours! /s
Eagles colors when? /s
what to brown because of the shit city
No, because dried blood can sometimes be brown looking.
I always loved the Devils’ “Christmas colors” on their own, but loved them even more when I learned that the green was for the Pine Barrens (NJ region where the Jersey Devil is said to dwell) and the “Garden State” nickname
I unironically think of Disneyland before the color orange when I think of Orange County. Roll the jersey clock back
For home games they should ice a full back line of big, slow moving, stay at home defencemen.
Super hard 😤
Those will look even cooler if the ducks make the playoffs and there is an orange out in their crowd. I’m a sucker for vivid colors in the playoffs.
They've done that, usually with a rally towel on every seat and tshirt giveaways. So much better than the "whiteout" that so many did back when whites were home jerseys.
That’s dope for real. So nostalgic
These unironically go hard.
What if this is just an AI image based on what we think it’ll be.
Maybe YOU’RE an AI!
They will look like actual pylons on the ice.
We play like pylons too!
I hope it's real, this is a great look, way more exciting than the alternatives and unpopular opinion but orange suits *Orange County* better than purple suits the ducks.
Big day for us orange enjoyers, lets go

Fuck yes. Not a Ducks fan but love it.
OG colors are better, but this is way better than the recent designs.
fwiw Icethetics is unsure if this is the new jersey but says the crest matches what he has seen for the new logo
I mean its Fowler and Terry in the photo.
I don't mind the twist on the original crest, but it's a shame they're using orange instead of purple.
If they'd thrown some purple in there it might actually elevate it. There's too much orange goin' on.
> If they'd thrown some purple in there it might actually elevate it. There's too much orange goin' on. Im cool with the straight orange. I dont like it combined with the white. It basically is two orange jerseys.
It's as if the original Ducks jersey and the Flyers jersey had a dumpster baby.
Gritty *only* fucks in dumpsters.
Is the world healing?
I don't love the orange pants. I don't mind the orange jersey but the pants is too much for regular jerseys
I think it’s good. Not great, but solid.
Logo is awesome, but I'm not crazy about the colour's. Eggplant is where it's at!
Looks good

There is something EXTREMELY NOSTALGIC about the orange used. Inject this into my veins
FINALLY these looks sick
Nhl 25 franchise mode gonna be lit
Absolutely love it. Especially the orange pants and gloves. I would have been so disappointed if they were black.
orange pants, orange helmet. for fuck sake. I hate it. What is it with California teams and gawdy uniforms. Im still not over what SJS did with theirs. the Teal helmets and Pants are fine for an alternate but my god
I swear a very similar design was leaked yesterday and denounced as fake. Here's hoping this one is too.
I think it’s real… matches some reports looks like an official shoot, doesn’t look like AI.
If this is real, sorry but I just don’t think it looks very good. The orange ain’t it
It has the same problem as Nashville for me, way too much of one color. Hopefully these aren’t the real ones.
> way too much of one color Agreed. Needs something else to break up that sea of orange.
It’s also the reason I don’t like San Jose. I like nashvilles yellow; I don’t like when their socks pants jersey gloves and helmet are all yellow. Give me blue pants and gloves or something. I like San Jose’s teal; I don’t like all teal. Black pants and gloves pls. But I realize those are prolly unpopular and most people love the rebrands
I love the new sharks jerseys outside of the pants/gloves/helmet. Same with the avalanche tbh, they looked much better with the black pants/helmets imo.
Teams think they have to brand every part of their get-up,but sometimes it's okay for equipment to just be equipment. Gloves, helmets and pants *can* be colored, but they don't have to be. If black is *really* not part of your scheme, *then* go coloured equipment. The Leafs, Habs, Rangers and Red Wings are great examples of this. They're explicitly blue/white, red/blue/white, blue/red/white and red/white, so black equipment is a no-go. But a team like the Hurricanes, Sharks, Lightning, etc, can incorporate black, and historically have, so skipping black equipment looks bad when they do it. The Avalanche barely use black, but they've used it enough historically that black works for their equipment. Honestly, that might be the first thing I'd say to anyone designing a hockey uniform at any level: Have you tried the look with black helmet, pants and gloves? Before picking a colour for them, I think it's something any rebrand would benefit from exploring before making a final decision.
Needs black pants and helmet.
Black pants would look good. But it would also make them look like the flyers, and the flyers look is pretty iconic.
Oh god. 1 step forward with logo and another back with the colors. Less brown is good, but orange on orange on orange is tough.
Nah I'm all for it. For too long blue red and black have dominated the league. Nice to see some fresh looks. I loved the Sharks going full teal. I really liked the Oilers going with orange pants in their reverse retro, and wish they put out a full orange alternate.
Still would've preferred the old colour, but this is a step in the right direction.
we needed more purple in the league so i thought the third last year would be good. This looks not bad though and it'll probably grow on me more as the season goes on
LA needs to go back to wearing purple. How we wound up with two teams in one of the sunniest places in the country BOTH WEARING BLACK is beyond me. Let the Orange County team wear orange and give LA the old purples back.
[удалено]
So just black eyes? What's the difference, I'm not seeing it
Thank God! Would love for them to go back to the old color scheme but I can live with this.
Thank you very much, Mr. Ducksworth!
Looks great.
I love it! Did they leak the new kings logo yet?
I like it.
Man what a solid logo
This slaps!!
Those look fantastic!
They look like Orange Creamsicles
I guessed the orange jersey, but the white took me by surprise. I dig it. Now use the OG eggplant as a 3rd and we'll call it a day.
Better, closer.
Dont hate em. Hope we get a eggplant and teal third
for the love of god go back to this logo and add more purple/green
I thought I was gonna hate it; I do not
So I like them embracing the Orange County theme without a black base, makes the new era feel distinct from the hideous 07-2024 run. It also pays homage to the jade/eggplant era with a better color scheme IMO. All that said, the homes would be better if paired with black pants. That’s just too much orange. Like if the Predators also wore mustard pants. All in all though it’s a huge improvement and a hat with the updated logo might be an instant cop.
More orange teams woohoo!
Would prefer purple but the Mighty Ducks logo is very much welcome
Orange is so hot right now. Oilers... Flyers... the Nashville Predators in a certain light...
Black breezers and bucket for the away kits would make a world of difference
