I hope it’s fake. If that’s away.. Orange on top then the white then is that more orange after the striping? I do not like that orange on top at all and the thin separation

I think the biggest miss is the orange shoulder yoke on the away jerseys. No need for that. I think my only other quibble is that the black circle behind the duck mask should have an outline. Without one, the triangle behind it gives it the optical illusion of being ovoid instead of circular.
Otherwise, I'm good with these. Maybe I'll buy my first new jersey since I got a Selanne in 2007.
I will say this though - if they use a name plate on the orange jersey like Philly does, I'm completely out. The name plate is AWFUL.

I didn’t think it would top or come close to the originals. But it’s way better than the Ducks foot and the Ducks name one. Miles better!

Do you have an issue with the originals have different color triangles between home and away?

I actually like the orange on the top of the white jerseys….
Fair point. I think it's more that the alternating eye accent is visually unappealing to me. The orange works just fine in the color scheme of the logo.

Nah there’s no way it’s actually a different color eye. Just a poor quality leak.

Yeah, I was just wondering if you wanted the shadow to be orange. I think that might be an interesting look.
Or a poor quality fake?
For the home jersey? Orange shadow on orange background? No sense; I thought you were being snarky, but them I thought maybe I need to clarify.

I guess I wasn’t thinking an orange jersey. My mind was thinking black. I need a break from this place.

Completely off topic, I have a sudden craving for a Creamsicle.

I'll be the one person to like the shoulder yoke, though the gold trim on it would be better balanced if it were black. Also a big fan of the logo, the new proportions will take a little getting used to but I don't think they're bad, just weird because they're different.
The home kit is way too much orange. Not a fan of orange pants on the away either, tbh, orange bottom of the jersey plus orange pants was the only bad part of the RRs and it's still bad. Actually with horizontal stripes it's worse. Meh.

So I have to buy 2 more jerseys? I have every other jersey model the Ducks have played in... these definitely aren't the worst.
Looks pretty real to me.
While not 10/10 these are a solid 8. I kinda like the contrast on the aways, like the orange shoulders/sleeves. Was never going to be perfect but better than some of the leaks that had me scared it was going to be a flop. And I agree on the name plate. If they do that ugly orange box, not gonna be a fan.
Looks like the D got a remake too, so they touched up both logos.
Real test will be when we see them in action. I loved the full orange 3rd especially on ice.

On the reveal, I get that they will want to make it an in house production, but I almost think you send it to new media people to do an online/YouTube/IG reveal. Get some of the bigger podcasts, The Hockey Guy, chicklets, etc and do a timed reveal/leak where they have them and review them. Then later go in and do your professional franchise release videos
Ultimately, I don't dislike the new Mighty Ducks logo by any means but if that's the finished product, it's just...not much to it? Like I'm not trying to complain that they didn't deviate too much from the original design that worked as much as I'm saying that, if that's all you were going to do, why bother? It's mostly just a recolor and making the stick blades a bit worse. I guess they wouldn't be the first NHL team to only make minor modifications to a classic logo (Bruins off the top of my head) but I'm just thinking, if this was all they were going to do, why not just leave the sticks alone?
You're not the only one - I like the yoke also, as do a few others I think. I'm glad it's orange as it connects with the home jersey; the previous road jersey had a black yoke to connect to the home black.
It's a nod to tradition as well, as most hockey jerseys over the years have sported a contrasting shoulder yoke of some kind (notable exception: Chicago). MTL sports a yoke on the road but not at home, as will we.
As for the orange pants: I like them away, but I think black might have been better at home, though the horizontal striping at the jersey hem does provide some separation. But consider this: as good a color combo as orange/black is, when the 2 colors are present in roughly the same amount, it inevitably invites thoughts of Halloween. I can't help but wonder if that played into the organization's decision for home.
No rebranding exercise will please everybody, but overall I think they've done a fine job with this one. Now I need to decide whose name is going to go on mine!

If that is the actual new jersey well at least we don't have the webbed D foot as the logo and no more primary black jersey.
