That's not a terrible ad patch, and it's at least a decent partner. We'll remind opposing teams how much better we have it as we lose on the ice.
Could do worse than a patch that says the city's name on it I guess.

They should change the colors on the patches to match the jersey. At least its not horrific.
Would anyone over here be able to pick up a jersey from the store and get it customized there? It seems to be the only option according to the team store's website to get the jerseys customized. I'd obviously pay the full price plus then shipping to either a p/o box address in Oregon or directly to me in Germany.
Any help would be appreciated, please DM me.
Edit: nevermind, I have found a way to get it customized otherwise.

Remember the giant mighty ducks logo that would light up and smoke every time they scored? Can they please bring it back?

I genuinely think 444 and the opposite section are the best viewing experience. Watching from behind the net allows you to see plays develop way better then from the side.

Absolutely. And they were among the cheapest seats, too, because everyone wanted to watch hockey like it’s tennis.
Ya we had season ticket in 444 from 05-06 until we left for TN in 2020. My brother has the tickets now and I think he moved to the rail in 443.
Multiple times the family was tempted to upgrade to 200 level seats but you cant beat 444, and like you said it was like 1/4 the price haha.
I actually think these numbers and font are by far the most positive parts of the jerseys. Art deco is pretty much the golden standard for type fonts and they nailed it beautifully.

Agreed, the numbers are much more readable, too. Tailor made for Ahlers (hopefully).

used wall of text! It's not very effective...

I like the numbers and I like the striping, but I don't think I like them on the same jersey. Or at least not on the same sleeve. The back is fine on its own, but on the sleeves the drop shadow just looks busy and not very cohesive, IMO. And the drop shadow on the C/A is even worse, it sticks out in a really weird way.
Minor complaints, of course, but it was slightly irritating me all preseason.

I love the numbers as well. In fact I just love the jerseys. No nitpicks from me.
I love that the numbers are based on the history of the area (old school art-deco citrus advertising in Orange County). Think it's a nice touch,
I love in general how they go to the roots of the region. Adds a very clear direction for the team in the approach/target market which I soooooo welcome. Felt like we were hanging in the air for a while. Fans can "attach" themselves way easier with the team now, even if not from the said region, like me. Feels like the team have a common theme and direction now.
Do you have more info about the art deco? I have missed that. Quick googling shows indeed orange advertisings seem to be in that style. Any reason for that?
For jerseys I think home ones could be better. The black arms and black sleeves (and partially also black and white stripe on the pants) look awkward. They can be better. But the road ones are hard to beat. Only RR 2.0 beats those

Thanks for the question because it made me do some additional research!
