Anaheim Ducks' Wild Jersey History

They kicked off with bowl-jade and eggplant colors, a fierce duck-golly mask logo, and diagonal stripes that fans still love. But that wild-wing alternate, with its cartoon duck busting through ice, split everyone, kids dubbed the Disney vibe while Pierce called it goofy. Early on, they tested third jerseys with multicolor yokes and black pants for edge, but ditched the cartoons by 04 with dull black kids and word-marked logos that bombed hard. Then in 05, new owners dropped Mighty, went all black with orange and gold accents for 06-07 and snagged their first Stanley Cup in. Those aggressive sweaters, fans and players have strong takes originals, top nostalgia lists. Old-wing got players' votes in reverse retro polls, tying 5th favorite, league-wide.

Lately, reverse retro's flipped originals to modern black orange gold, and now for their 30th season, a special anniversary jersey revives plum.
