Anaheim absolutely killed it with their new logo and uniforms. They could’ve been lazy and just made their alternate uniforms their home uniforms and made a white version for the away. But completely redoing the logo and actually going back to the old Disney striping? They went from a bottom 10 uniform to a top 5 uniform
The striping isn’t diagonal like how you said “the Disney” way. It’s still horizontal from the previous orange alternates just minus a couple of stripes.
I’m a big fan of Anaheim going back to the Wild Wing logo and using the webbed D as the secondary. The MDoA were my first favorite team as a kid and that logo holds a special place in my heart. That said, I really wish they used black as the main color for the home jersey, or at least used black pants and helmets. The head to toe orange is too much for me personally, but it’s still miles better than any uniform they’ve had since 2006. Also love the Kings and can’t wait to see what UHC ends up using as a mascot and logo (gonna be the Yeti, right?), but the color scheme is on point. I will probably buy the current UTAH word mark jersey whenever they release it just cuz it will be cool to have as a one season only jersey.
Utah is about as good a placeholder jersey as you could hope for. Kings is beautiful and feels nostalgic and yet fresh at the same time. Ducks looks amazing, biggest glow up for sure. Just throw in a straight eggplant + jade 3rd jersey and you’ve got one of the best jersey rotations in the league
I attended two Ducks preseason games vs both LA and Utah. From afar, both white uniforms look almost exactly the same, just what little silver you can make out is replaced with powder blue.
I like all three. Anaheim, even if the entire uniform set is a little too orange, the jersey itself is bold and the updated Mighty Duck I think is better than the original (just cleaner and I like the shading more). I would have loved the LA Kings to bring purple back. But if they wanted to stay with Black, white, and silver, then taking the Gretzky era logo and tweaking it was the right choice. And as for Utah, yeah it is a placeholder for now. But I like the team's colour choice of black, white, and light blue. Then the text diagonal is nice and I hope that once they get their team identity solidified that their uni returns as an alternate and update it with different striping and the shoulder patch.
the Ducks have the best jerseys in the league. Not even a fan of the team but they look absolutely badass. The Kings have that throwback look too....freaking cool. Utah needs an actual team name to have an identity.
What I took out of this discussion: - Utah's current uniform is really a stopgap before they get themselves an identity. As such, these are okay uniforms, but not even having UTAH emblazoned on their jerseys is going to suggest that they have a style all their own. - I like the way the Kings have re-invented their 90's look that seem to be their most famous. Anyone can distinguish them from the rest of the NHL, even those who don't follow hockey that much. All that said, I'd make their white uniforms their home uniforms. - It was eminently logical that Anaheim would bring back an updated version of their legendary logo, it was bound to happen sooner or later. I was getting slightly bored by their previous colourways and uniforms from last season, so the decision to go to orange is inspired. It may well be the impact that they last had when they entered the league when under the D*sn*y ownership, although they now look like a Sheffield Steelers tribute act. Which is no bad thing, considering the Steelers won the Triple Crown last year and have made it ti the last 16 of the CHL.
Man imo its great anahiem got modern uniforms instead of the weird home they had for too long. And yall got your mightey ducks logo back! But the ducks uniform would be perfect imo with a matte black helmet (to match the sleeve collar and waist trim. ) and instead of the duck foot add new original shoulder patches. Imo this great color combo the issue with the last version anahiem had is the pattern and usage of the current colors. I do however wish they made the original and iconic purple jersey their permanant alternate or “Heritage” 3rd. Also 6:28 imagine black shoulders on the orange home matching the black sleeves.
As a dyer and color matcher fror over 28 years i agree with you fotr the difference in shades. If you look at the Sharks's one, the result is better. The worst ones are Toronto and Tampa Bay 's blue pants.
The Hockey Clubs could have done something really fun this season, before they had branding. Jerseys with mountains, Delicate Arch, and other natural features could have been displayed on the jerseys. It's a beautiful state, but all we get are 4 diagonal letters.
Great video! Utah's uniforms are just simplified versions of the the Maine Black Bears look-not bad for a temporary look. The Kings are now just as boring as they were in the Gretzky era. Why they refuse to bring back the purple and gold is baffling. Ducks went a bit overboard on the home traffic cone look but still love that logo. Miss the eggplant and green but this will sell plenty of sweaters!
8:00 if by "before" you mean 25 years ago, sure. Yes, they've been back in the black and silver for a while, but they haven't used the Chevy logo since the 90s or early 2000s.
I’m sure it’ll look a lot natural once Utah has an actual name for next year, then the jerseys will be more exciting. Anaheim just has too much orange for the pants and the helmets gotta be black. Kings new matte helmet was a little different, but it’s looks good with their new jerseys. Still wish they would go back to purple tho 😂
Alan Shields Hamilton South Lanarkshire Scotland. My chain of thought when it comes to branding & uniforms are as follows. My personal preference is to keep it classic like Red Wings , Blackwaks, Rangers & so on, I feel we see this with the direction the L.A. Kings, they have went back to a slightly altterd 90's look in terms of the new updatted 90's logo to me that will always be The L.A. Kings look but I do think The Kings could have added a bit of purple to make their look less like they are Raiders on Ice. The problem with The Kings hss always been in terms of their colour palt they have always just copied the Lakers or Raiders they need to make their look their own for me & a little bit of purple would have done that. Utah nothing absolutely nothing to wright home about. Hopefully, when they come out with a team name, we will see better uniforms. I have mixed feelings about the Ducks' new uniforms. I feel the balance of orange & black is wrong. I would have liked a good bit more black, particularly in the shorts the new logo I am still getting used to in terms of the eyes of the duck. So far, I have managed to only watch Rangers or Penguins games live but when the Rangers & Penguins go on the road a bit more that will give me a chance to see other teams & get used to the new uniforms more. I think the Kings have the best upgrade in terms of logos, if not uniforms. I was watching The N.B.A. Last night I go between both N.H.L & N.B.A. depending on games & how is playing on any given game day In Europe, we need to look at time difference for games I watched The Lakers game last night I got to sleep at 5.30 so any West Coast games are a challenge most of the time N.H.L games on The West Coast are basically not doable unless they are earlier on in the day so I will only see Kings, Ducks & Utah when they are playing in the East so Ibwill get a better idea if the new uniforms when the Ducks & Kings head East. I will see the Ducks for the first time this season on Saturday when they take on The Rangers @ M.S.G. Keep Safe Neil. I hope your parents are both doing well.
i think why i haven't really judged the Utah uniforms yet there is no nickname right now for them . Utah uniforms i think they played it safe when making the uniforms and if they had any kind of design in the uniform may have gave away what the teams name is going to be and i will be shocked if it is something other then Yeti . the Ducks rebrand i think they hit homerun with them i like the are mostly Orange now for Orange county . Kings i like they modernized the 90s look the old Kings road i thought was a great jersey and i don't like piping but i do love that old what people are calling the Chevy logo and i like where they put the numbers on the sleeves .
I think the ducks made an amazing change, the kings though made a bad change, their current logo is their worst in my opinion, their best was their last crown logo. About Utah, the colors are OK and nothing more because of the black.
I am a little biased hating the Kings being a Ducks fan, so the Kings are meh to me. But I don’t mind the fresh look for my Mighty Ducks they are pretty clean I like them. I was hoping for Utah to wear a Baby Blue Alternate that would look very clean the Black and White are kind of boring meh but using that Blue shade as the base color would look amazing.
As a lifelong Kings fan, I’m definitely on the minority on this one. These aren’t that great imho. The Kings totally whiffed with their jerseys by not bringing back purple into their palate, specifically the era when they wore the coat of arms. I wished the Kings would have brought back those jerseys instead of these, and:or added the numbering and letter lit from the previous design into this current style of jerseys. Reverse Retro worked because of the color purple, not necessarily the designs of both
The thick line at the bottom of the Kings home jersey, makes it look like it shrunk in the wash. Like a Childs jersey. Also I was today old when i round out players can use different make pants and globes. For me as an European this looks really amateurish. But hey, guess money talks. Also the sponsors on the chest not always beeing color coordinated, is laugheble.
Utah’s colors are fine, but without a name or a logo, they just look amateurish! Ducks unis are good!! They look pretty sharp actually. Kings NEED to go back to the Purple & Gold!! I’ve never cared for what Bruce McNall changed the team jerseys & colors to when Gretzky became a King. Bad move!!
Utah- talk to me in 2025 Anaheim- totally embrace the new, yet subtle changes to the logo Los Angeles- (not ragging on them as a Ducks fan, but as a hockey fan) REALLY? The one time that they can embrace purple and have black & silver as secondary colors is just nothing but a snooze fest just like how they’ve been since the early 2010s. I despise when teams play it too safe with their uniforms. Big fat L for L(A)
Ducks keep pissing me off with their slow move, we are so damn close, the crest is perfect, but for the LOVE OF GOD ditch the orange and go back to the eggplant!! That was such a good color scheme and was uniquely Ducks. I cant stand their orange version of jerseys. Utah is the plainest of plain, i get they havent had the time to plan anything like Vegas or Seattle did, but wow, UTAH, "ima be Wolverine, im going to be the Batman, im going to be Dr Manhattan, who are you going to be? Ima be Jeff 😐" Kings, purple and gold would be cool, i loved that look but their black has always been so nice so i dont dislike that decision like i loathe Anaheims resistance to move away from Orange, you're not the Flyers, be the cool unique you you were.
I want the kings to bring back the 2000’s shield uniforms, They were bad ass and looked great even in purple
Absolutely. I hate the Chevy logo so much
Same. And the Los Angeles text at the waist was literally the sickest thing ever.
Yep just want them to lessen that grey neck on the purple coat of arms.

Like the logo. The all orange kit is terrible.
My two favorites in this video are Ducks home and Utah home. I like the boldness of the Orange and appreciate the simplicity in the Utah.
Go oilers 👏🏽
The Kings. Brought to you by Chevrolet. Utah. I loved the Coyotes. My favorite is the away Ducks. Great sweater!
I’ve always hated the D logo and the Anaheim Ducks wordmark with a passion. I’m glad The Mighty Ducks logo is back.

Kings have not played at home yet this season
Anaheim Ducks look like Cal Trans traffic cones
Great video! Utah's uniforms are just simplified versions of the the Maine Black Bears look-not bad for a temporary look. The Kings are now just as boring as they were in the Gretzky era. Why they refuse to bring back the purple and gold is baffling. Ducks went a bit overboard on the home traffic cone look but still love that logo.

I love La and Anaheim jerseys! I don’t know about Utah yet
8:00 if by "before" you mean 25 years ago, sure. Yes, they've been back in the black and silver for a while, but they haven't used the Chevy logo since the 90s or early 2000s.

The L.A. Kings look

The problem with

I have mixed feelings about the Ducks' new uniforms. I feel the balance of orange & black is wrong. I would have liked a good bit more black, particularly in the

I am still getting used to
in terms of the eyes of the duck.
So far, I have managed to only watch Rangers or Penguins games live

I think the Kings have the best upgrade in terms of logos, if not uniforms.
I was watching
The N.B.A. Last night
I go between both
N.H.L & N.B.A.
depending on games & how is playing on any given game day
In Europe, we need to look at time difference for games I watched The Lakers game last night
I got to sleep at 5.30 so
any West Coast games are a challenge most of the time N.H.L games on
The West Coast are basically not doable unless they are earlier on in the day so I will only
see Kings, Ducks & Utah when they are playing in the East so Ibwill get a better idea if the new uniforms when the Ducks & Kings head East.
I will see the Ducks for the first time this season on Saturday when they take on The Rangers
@ M.S.G.
Keep Safe Neil. I hope your parents are both doing well.
Have you gotten used to the digital ads around the rink or does it still bother you?
Utah uniforms looks like a collage team!
Go Kings Go!!!
5:17 imagine they had orange gloves
I mean for the home
I do hope they keep the black, white, and sky blue. But I do hope they add the burnt orange to the mix for their next identity.
reports are Utah will be keeping the colors with a Jersey redesign i can't wait to hear the teams name finally but when will we hear it
i think why i haven't really judged the Utah uniforms yet there is no nickname right now for them . Utah uniforms i think they played it safe when making the uniforms and if they had any kind of design in the uniform may have gave away what the teams name is going to be and i will be shocked if it is something other then Yeti . the Ducks rebrand i think they hit homerun with them i like the are mostly Orange now for Orange county . Kings i like they modernized the 90s look the old Kings road i thought was a great jersey and i don't like piping but i do love that old what people are calling the Chevy logo and i like where they put the numbers on the sleeves .

The brand new Ducks logo is a major downgrade from the 2019-2023 logo from the orange alternate uniform.

Reverse Retro worked because of the color purple, not necessarily the designs of both

The thick line at the bottom of the Kings home jersey, makes it look like it shrunk in the wash. Like a Childs jersey.
