I'm glad I don't cheer for a team named after and designed by Disney

Cartoonish animal? Check.

Crossed hockey sticks? Check.

Ridiculous Colour Scheme? Check and check!

Yup, what you've got there is a bonafide, run-of-the-mill NHL Expansion jersey.

[QUOTE=FireGilbert;6748605]That is hideous despite having a good logo and template. It looks like a jersey by committee where they couldn't decide on black and orange or eggplant and teal so just decided to do them all. With the grey, white, and yellow that makes 7 freaking colours on this hot mess. Not to mention the two most prominent colours, black and teal, make it look like a Sharks jersey. Still not the worst Ducks third jersey though:


Spoiler!



You take that back you Heathen! That jersey was a thing of Glory!

First thing that popped into mind when seeing that was: Sharks
Not sure how you don't see the Sharks colors there.

Makes sense for a 25th anniversary jersey

A 25th anniversary jersey should ideally look like your jersey from 25 years ago. Instead they have created a mash up of their jerseys over those 25 years.

Thinking about it, the Ducks probably have the worst collection of jerseys in the league:

http://www.nhluniforms.com/Ducks/Ducks.html

-Their originals start out well. The logo is pretty good for being a cartoon animal with a hockey stick and it features a unique template and colour scheme. It's all down hill from here though.
-They introduce possibly the Wild Wing jersey, one of the worst designs ever.
-That 3rd is ditched (thank god) in favour of white and teal 3rd and 4th on a different template. Not horrible looking but still a step down from the originals.
-They then introduce another one of the worst jerseys ever, the black and purple word mark 3rd.
-They then redesign everything and end up with the worst primary jerseys in the league. It's like they couldn't decide to copy Pittsburgh's or Philly's colours so just decided to do both. Then it is topped off with a strange template and bad work mark logo.
-This version is slightly improved upon by increasing the orange and removing the workmark logo but then they go and mess it up by using an even worse template with vertical lines.
-Then we have the winter classic jersey which doesn't make anyone happy. They tease us by bringing back the original logo but then stick it on a hideous eye bleeding orange jersey.
-Finally we get this hot mess with the 7 different colours.

The only other teams I can think of with a comparable history of bad jerseys are the Nucks and Islanders.

Ducks are worse in my opinion, Vancouver's flying skate jerseys were dope (apart from the red one).

I love that Disney drew beaks one way, and that found it's way into an NHL logo.

I like it and dislike it at the same time. I agree with those that say it feels like a committee compromise.
