Hell Toupée!!!
the bruins cried to the league when the penguins changed from light blue to yellow/blackAccording to Icethetics, the same:
The Ducks have had the shittiest uniforms in the league the last two decades for no reason. I think these new uniforms are gonna look great, I'm excited to see them, but like...you're still trying to find good branding 30 years in, even though you have internationally-recognized IP, complete with unique colors, sitting in your back pocket if you just Wear the Stupid Movie Jerseys?
They're a company, they do the research, maybe they find that selling a whole new look to every member of their existing fanbase is more valuable than leveraging the wider recognizability of the original branding (even now that 90s kids are parents and its nostalgia cycle is peaking). I hope the template is good and unique, though. I really like the stuff they put out in their second little teaser tweet.
I think I've talked myself into being offended by this though--by the Ducks and their indecision about who they are and by the Flyers letting their brand get so weak that a team would even feel comfortable trying to forge its identity using that exact color. Ed Snider would've sued or blown up someone's car if he were alive
Oh by the way I also think the Lightning look stupid as shit wearing Red Wings jerseys in Leafs colors. Literally infinite color combinations and uniform design opportunities and these dumb sports teams can't figure it out.
