Haha, actually wondered afterwards if that would come up. It's not the colours, but more the way they're used. It's like a practice jersey

Wasn't there a goalie that used to have Darkwing Duck on his helmet?

Say what you will about the Disney tie-in and the "mighty" name, they had some solid designers working on the Duck's branding.
I'm not sure how you can say that when the Ducks completely did away with their original logo, while the Sharks and Lightning are essentially still using the same ones they debuted with (with a few tweaks)

I always thought it was stupid for a professional hockey team to be named after a Disney movie and thought the jersey and logo was ridiculous, even as a kid.

That being said, I like this throwback for the nostalgia and think its cool that they are embracing a quirky part of their history.

Ok, purple and gold is ok, but purple and any other colour is terrible.

I stand by what I said, I like the new Ducks jerseys.



Is that better or worse than this? (Check out that shade of purple)



Or this?



Or maybe everyone just loves the logo over the colour scheme, so if we need a compromise, here's a happy medium.

Spoiler!

Maybe I'm one of few, but I preferred them way more as the Mighty Ducks.

So much more character and iconic-ness to the name and brand. And that logo (maybe if it had a few tweaks to give it a more mature look) still is way better than anything ducks related they've put out since. The jerseys they were wearing back in 03-04, or 02-03, whatever it was, were pretty bad. But those above look great. It never really bothered me that their logo/brand was a bit more cartooney than the others. It's what actually made them interesting and special. There's nothing special about them now. Most boring logo/name/colors possibly in the league.

Those who hated the Disney relation need to stop trying to act so grown up. I thought it was so awesome that a team was spawned from the franchise. Funny enough, I actually don't like much of anything Disney. But I really liked the mighty ducks. Maybe not more intimidating, but certainly more awesome than just "ducks". Perhaps I'm in the boat that thought that if they were to change it, they might as well pick something completely different.

I actually just like the colour combo. Not a fan of the logo.

I thought it was the nucks practice jersey....

As for the ducks, I think most will agree that their new design and "logo" (it's not really a logo, more of just a print out of the word) is just terrible.

I'm actually not a fan of the orange on the bottom, I love the old logo though. Maybe if the orange was either the green or the purple it would look better. I do like the design though.

The new Ducks jerseys are just awful. Their logo looks like it was designed using Microsoft Wordart, and the jersey colours and design sound good in theory, but the result is very plain and boring.

The combination of teal, white and purple is just so sharp. The dark version is a little less sharp, but still as a set, the Mighty Ducks jerseys are the best they've ever had. Also, when you said "check out that shade of purple", you were conveniently using a very off-looking computer generated template version. The real thing looks fine.






So awesome.
