I mean, the Kings have worn the purple and gold throwbacks numerous times in the last 15 years or so and have had two mighty sharp-looking purple and gold Reverse Retros within the last five. You don't have to have been around for the first 20 years of their existence to have seen them wear those colors.
It’s already been confirmed by Icethetics that it is exactly the same orange. The big reason for the switch was it gets picked up better for the camera’s.The Ducks updated their orange for this rebrand and yes, the color is incredibly similar to the one the Flyers just embraced. Icethetics claims it's the exact same Pantone code—I don't think it will be that identical when revealed in full, but it's certainly damn close in the "spooky uniform reveal photography" lighting. I think the Ducks went a bit darker.
I have never seen any color remotely like that on a duck, by the way. It's just the "Orange County" thing driving the change.
You know what color I have seen on a duck? Teal! Or, more fittingly, I've seen teal on a teal. The word "teal" is a synonym for "duck." In fact, the name of the color derives from certain species of the animal.
It's also not uncommon for mallards to feature deep purplish hues on their rear feathers or, in rare occasions, on their heads. It's why the OG Ducks scheme was so good! Because it was related to ducks!
(I'm having fun on a dead Friday afternoon at work, this is not all that serious. But seriously.)
Every team that swaps colors like LA, Van, Buf, Ana, etc. ultimately will have fans who prefer one set over the other. I grew up on the Canucks skate, but personally prefer the blue jerseys (but still hate the Orca logo). Black, because they wore those on the road, looked very dark in the less well lit arenas back in the day in the Forum in LA and the Joe in Det because the Canucks had no white stripes on the jersey. Numbers were yellow, with a red border and a white boarder. Name bar was just in yellow. But, there are Canuck fans who like the Black.
The LA Kings’ statement of execution is hidden in plain sight.
It's reality. I'm sorry that you don't understand supply chains, but they are real and have to be managed. The same color has to be reproduced exactly across hundreds of different materials from hundreds of different suppliers. That is not a remotely trivial process, it's just one that you take completely for granted since other people are the ones doing the work.
You've never seen a Duck's foot before? Look at the bottom right corner of your second duck picture.The Ducks updated their orange for this rebrand and yes, the color is incredibly similar to the one the Flyers just embraced. Icethetics claims it's the exact same Pantone code—I don't think it will be that identical when revealed in full, but it's certainly damn close in the "spooky uniform reveal photography" lighting.

This isn’t the first time I’m seeing this statement regarding the pantone. Has this been confirmed anywhere? Serious question. Have the Ducks released something where it states the Pantone code of the leaked logo/jerseys?
You'd think they'd take the picture from the other side so the crown isn't upside down.
Icethetics has confirmed it. He probably has done an insider interview with them ready to release like the Kings one he did.
I blame the fans. If they didn't buy all these uniform variations, there'd be no reason to make them. When you buy something, youkre effectively telling the seller what you want.
Love every skate uni, Black, white, yellow and red. The home especially make them look bigger and tougher imho. The current nucks uni's just seem so timid, especially the roads. Even the road skates appear stronger with the shade of white along with strong colours red, yellow and black. They just pop.
I believe you mean PANTONE®, good sir.
