So hilarious. I've never met a single person in my entire life that likes the D logo over the old one... And I've been in locker rooms having this discussion for over 10 years lol

I mean if people like the Ducks foot, all power to them, It’s personal taste. But I honestly feel we have gone from one of the best logos to one of the worst, imho. JFresh on twitter did a survey about a year ago, and that was pretty much summed up.

I get so many compliments when I’m wearing my eggplant Mighty Ducks Jersey. I have also gotten a lot of love for the orange ones as well.

I prefer the old Ducks logo to the new one (although I like the webbed D just fine) but I think people forget just how despised that logo was league wide. It was viewed as a crass cash grab in the form of a cartoon logo by a company that didn't give a shit about hockey and was just "synergizing" their hit movie into another revenue stream.

I don't think it would have been possible for the old logo to reach its current (apparent) level of beloved icon if it hadn't disappeared for a while.

I think as Duck fans, we mostly agree that old logo is better than the current D logo & word mark. But I really can't complain when I read this about the logo design:

Samueli decided to keep the “Ducks” name after the team conducted informal surveys which revealed that a vast majority of season ticket holders favored it. “If you have to change the name,” he said, “you’re wiping out 13 years of brand history.”​

At least by keeping the Ducks' name, the org can use the old logo. It would have sucked to have changed the name of the team completely to where using the old logo would have made no sense to bring back often. We probably would have gone through several logo updates to where the OG logo would scarcely been seen. The reverse retro would probably be using an earlier version of a new logo not named Ducks as if it were a new franchise to help distinguish it from the old one. For example, the Atlanta Thrashers became the Winnipeg Jets. The Jets aren't using the Thrashers' logo often.

So I won't complain about the logo change, but do hope the Samueli's change it back to the old logo.

I thought the Wild Wing popping out of the ice jersey was a mistake by design to prop up the old Ducks logo. I didn't know the logo was despised league wide since I'm in a So Cal bubble and hung around other Duck fans.

It's kinda odd seeing the Samueli's build ice hockey rinks in So Cal to create grass root hockey fans through children's hockey leagues. Kids are attracted more to the old logo than the D-webbed logo, especially with Disney + having a Mighty Ducks tv show ongoing. Zegras preferring to wear the old logo could be foreshadowing too.

100% agree.

And weirdly, that longing for the old one is ruining the webbed foot reputation. I agree it's not that bad, easilly could name a handful of worse NHL logos out there

I know a lot of people think benoit will come in at 1-1.5m for his next contract but I think Andrew Peeke will be considered a very good comparable and he got 2.75m x 3 years

So don't think benoit comes in much below 2m

Say what?

Benoit is a 6-7D who the Ducks should consider extending if he takes around $1M (or less). He’s the definition of replaceable.

So I've been taking some mental time off from hockey lately. What's going on with Comtois? I've been watching highlights but it appears he has been out of the lineup lately. Are we expecting him to be traded or is there an injury that just hasn't been disclosed?

He’s going to go to a different team and “magically” become a better player.

Depends on how you look at it.

From my perspective, Eakins never gives Comtois consistent ice time in the top 6 with Z or McTavish feeding him pucks so he can rediscover his goal scoring ability. Instead he gets quickly demoted to 3rd or 4th line left wing. Lack of scoring aside, he also is one of our few forwards who body checks and stands up for his teammates.

I know the other perspective that many here have is that it’s his own fault and he isn’t working hard enough, and he isn’t producing so he deserves to be traded or cut loose without a qualifying offer this summer.

That’s cool, but after you fix Comtois’ work ethic there are at least 6-7 more Ducks that need the same kick in the butt.

If hes being bench for it, and they arent... imagine how bad it could be.

It sounds like he may have either soured on the team or we're actually get down to the root of what his issues have been ever since his 1 good season.

Yeah, I wonder if it's Comtois work ethic that gets him demoted or the demotion that affects his work ethic. There are times he seems to have solid games when he's put higher in the lineup and gets demoted anyways. It seems like last year was completely on Comtois, he came in out of shape and never got in the groove. This year, there have been some games that he's looked fairly solid but he never gets 2 games in a row with the top lines. Unfortunately, he'll probably get traded then wake up and become a very solid player for a new team.
