‘Having such a unique sweater reveal is something Tully said he hopes Ducks fans and fans of the sport as a whole could enjoy.
“I hope they see the depth of thought and the unique take on our history,” he said. “We recognize the popularity of our original mark and we’re super open-minded about future plans with that mark. But I hope [fans] are as excited as we are to take in the dozen or so games in this anniversary season and give the Anaheim Ducks this new and exciting fresh look.”’

There was no reason to have a full new Jersey lineup right before a new manufacturer starts. If it’s going to happen next year is a good bet
I like the idea, not a fan of the execution. Looks like someone searched “circle logo template” and added a few Ducks assets and called it done.
I understand why people hate it, but personally I like it.
This made me like Carlsson even more.
So I talked to some employees at the draft party and from what I gathered, using that logo was the only way they could inorporate the D logo somewhat organically. Henry Samueli is the one who wanted it in there since they’re clearly still proud of their own branding (frustratingly, I know). There’s really no way to stick it somewhere on the main Mighty logo so they had to go with the circle one. Part of me thinks that they could have just stuck a little D logo on the forehead of the main logo and it still would have been better than this.
Edit: also, the feeling is that the Samuelis are slowly bout surely warming up to the old stuff
The story is that someone said let’s put a shoulder patch on the front and make it bigger.
