Anaheim Ducks: Ranking the Ducks’ alternate jerseys from worst to best

1. Orange Alternate

Oct. 15, 2015, officially marked the date that the Anaheim Ducks’ best alternate jersey took to the ice.

Anaheim introduced an orange-based third jersey and for the first time since retiring it back in 2006, the Ducks reintroduced the classic Mighty Ducks logo as the sweater’s main crest. Considering that the team had introduced Anaheim Ducks Orange as a secondary color back in 2006-07, the team left fans on the edge of their seats by each passing season and not unveiling an orange-based third jersey until 2015-16.

Yes, the Ducks had worn an orange-themed jersey prior to this gem, but it was the team’s 2014 Stadium Series sweater that was first worn vs. the Los Angeles Kings that January at Dodger Stadium. However, this third jersey was borderline flawless in not only comparison to that uniform but the other six sweaters on this list.

Anaheim incorporated its previous home-sock design of black, orange, gold and white as the jersey’s “piping” on both sleeves; and the white, black and gold stripes on the base of the jersey flowed well with its overall appearance and weren’t over-the-top, either.

Some minor details that may be underrated for this sweater began at the collar area. Having the collar as one color was a nice touch, plus “Anaheim” was visibly stitched onto it in gold on the left side of it. The modern and flat double strings also added some flash to this sweater, which was also complemented by the gold NHL Reebok patch located beneath it.

It’s a shame Anaheim hasn’t reintroduced its best alternate of all-time.
