1. Anaheim Ducks

Anaheim hit the nail on the head with this design. It is the perfect combination of retro with modern aspects and it is by far their best sweater to date. The throwback Mighty Ducks emblem coupled with the bright burnt orange base gives this sweater a unique look that other Ducks jerseys have lacked.

What makes it even better is the fact that the Ducks did not provide any press surrounding the release of this sweater. There were not press releases. There wasn’t a jersey reveal party. Nothing. Anaheim simply went into the 2016-17 season and skated out onto the ice in their new jerseys.

How they pulled that off in this day and age of social media is unknown.

That’s a bold move for a franchise that has been pretty reserved since becoming the Anaheim Ducks back in 2006. The design itself features a logo using the original Mighty Ducks one from 1993, but with color changes. Other than that, though, the emblem remained intact.

Nonetheless the Ducks have a heritage to their franchise and the fact that this jersey celebrates it is something to note. It’s hard to do justice to something that was so prevalent in Anaheim’s hockey history, but this design is the right amount of old and new.
