Team colors and mascot
Logos
The Ducks' logo features a webbed foot forming a "D" followed by the other letters in the word "Ducks" in upper-case letters. The text itself is gold (which sometimes may appear as bronze as well) with orange and black accents (forming a three dimensional appearance). Three-dimensional space is a geometric model of the physical Universe in which we live The entire logo is in turn outlined by white. The city of Anaheim's name appears in smaller upper-case print, above the team name. The Ducks are one of three NHL teams to feature their team name spelled out in a scripted form on the front of their jersey rather than a logo. The New York Rangers and the Washington Capitals are the other two. The New York Rangers are a professional Ice hockey team based in New York, New York, United States. For the BAA team see Washington Capitols. For the ABA team see Washington Caps. This does not include alternate jerseys or throwback jerseys worn by other teams.
The old logo of the Ducks prior to the name change featured an old-style goaltender mask, shaped to form the appearance of a duck bill. Behind the mask are two intersecting hockey sticks, a black circle and a triangle (the color of the triangle is either green or gray, depending on how the logo is used).
Jerseys
The Ducks have officially worn two unique regular jerseys and three unique third jerseys in their franchise history:
Original Mighty Ducks Jerseys
The original jerseys of the Ducks (then the Mighty Ducks) used jade, aubergine (eggplant), white and gray as primary colors for both the home and away jerseys. The team's dark jerseys were dominantly eggplant in color with diagonal gray and white stripes; the jersey is jade below the stripes, which appear on the arms and waist. The white jerseys were similar, except that the eggplant is replaced mainly with white. On the shoulders of both jerseys are patches featuring a forward-facing version of the main logo's "duck mask," surrounded by a circle reading "Mighty Ducks of Anaheim. "
Ducks Jerseys After 2006
About a year after the team was purchased from the Walt Disney Company by the Samuelis, Brian Burke initiated a name change dropping the "Mighty", after consultation with the fans showed that the typical fan had a willingness to update the "Mighty Ducks" name and jersey and also a desire to keep part of the traditions of the franchise. Brian P Burke (born June 30, 1955 in Providence Rhode Island) is an executive in the National Hockey League and currently the General Burke sought inspiration for the jersey from the United States Military Academy, ending up with diagonal gold, white, black and orange stripes down the arms and waist with the word "Ducks" on the front. "USMA" redirects here For other uses see USMA (disambiguation The United States Military Academy (also known as USMA, The jersey is similar to the team's most recent third jersey prior to the name change. The orange pays tribute to Orange County[2], where Anaheim is located. Orange County is a county in Southern California, United States.
The Ducks are not the first team from Southern California to win a title in the same year as a major uniform change. The Anaheim Angels won the 2002 World Series the same year that they changed to their current red-and-white uniforms. The Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim are a professional baseball team based in Anaheim, California. The World Series was the 98th edition of the Fall Classic held from October 19-27 2002
2007–08 Jerseys
For the 2007–08 NHL season, the Ducks, like all NHL teams, changed over to new Rbk Edge jerseys. The new jersey shows only minor modifications from 2006–07, including a small NHL crest just below the neck. There are no third jerseys for this season. It has been rumored, but not confirmed over whether the Ducks will unveil a uniform shoulder patch, or a third jersey for the 2008–09 NHL season. A third jersey or alternate jersey is a sports team's alternate design for the previously established other two jerseys The 2008–09 NHL season is the 91st season of the National Hockey League.
Third jerseys
The third jerseys of the Mighty Ducks were created in 1995, 1997, and 2003. A third jersey or alternate jersey is a sports team's alternate design for the previously established other two jerseys The 1995 jersey was jade with eggplant and white stripes on the collar and on the end of the sleeves. The logo was of team mascot Wildwing wearing a Mighty Ducks jersey while breaking through a sheet of ice. The jersey was short-lived; because of much criticism, it was retired at the end of the year.

The 1997 third jersey came with a rare fourth jersey partner. The third was a jade-colored jersey with silver and eggplant stripes at the shoulders outlined in thin yellow, and a silver stripe at the bottom. It had the Mighty Ducks logo in the center of the chest. The fourth jersey was much like it. It was white with jade, eggplant, and silver stripes at the shoulders of the jersey, but no bottom stripe. These jerseys saw action until the end of 1999–2000, when they stopped playing with their third jerseys, and used only the fourth. The 1999–2000 NHL season was the 83rd Regular season of the National Hockey League. At the end of 2000–01, the fourth was also retired. The 2000–01 NHL season was the 84th Regular season of the National Hockey League.
The 2003 third jersey was black with purple and gray stripes at the waist and on the sleeves. It had the alternate script logo of the present Mighty Ducks and old-style laces at the neck, as well as a shoulder patch displaying an interlocking "MD" (for "Mighty Ducks"). The popularity of this jersey amongst fans was so great it replaced the eggplant and jade jersey, serving as the home jersey for the last half of the 2005–06 season and playoffs. It was dropped following the season as the team went to a modified name, new uniforms, and color scheme; however, this popular jersey influenced the design of the new jerseys for 2006-07. It was the only time in the modern NHL days when a mainly black jersey was not worn with black pants, they were purple.
Mascot
The official mascot for the Anaheim Ducks is an anthropomorphized duck by the name of Wild Wing. Anthropomorphism is the attribution of uniquely Human characteristics to non-human creatures and beings natural and supernatural phenomena material states and objects He has been the team's mascot since its inaugural season, and his name was chosen through fan voting. He wears a Ducks jersey with the number 93 on the back, referring to the year the Ducks became an NHL team.
He regularly descends from the rafters of the arena when making his in-game entrances. [3] In one such descent the rigging that lowered Wild Wing from the rafters malfunctioned leaving the mascot trapped fifty feet above the ice for several minutes. Another well known blunder occurred in October 1995 when Wild Wing, attempting to jump through a "wall of fire", accidentally tripped causing the mascot to land on the fire and set his costume ablaze. [4]
His physical appearance is similar to the duck mask in the original Mighty Ducks logo. A bronze statue of Wild Wing is also located outside the team's arena, Honda Center. [5]
The mascot's name was also used for the leader of the Ducks, Wildwing Flashblade, in Disney's Mighty Ducks cartoon series. The Mighty Ducks is the first film in ''The Mighty Ducks'' trilogy, produced by Avnet-Kerner Productions and Walt Disney Pictures,
During the same time in which the team announced a name change as well as change in jersey designs, there was an attempt by the team's owners to change or replace the mascot, Wild Wing, but was halted after a highly successful petition by fans.
Rivalries
Los Angeles Kings
Although there is no enmity between the city of Los Angeles and adjacent Orange County, the Los Angeles Kings and Anaheim Ducks share an on-ice rivalry due to geographic proximity. Los Angeles (lɑˈsændʒələs los ˈaŋxeles in Spanish) is the largest City in the state of California and the American West Orange County is a county in Southern California, United States. The Los Angeles Kings are a professional ice hockey team based in Los Angeles California. The two teams are situated in the same metropolitan area, and share a television market. The rivalry started with the Ducks' inaugural season in 1993–94, and has since continued. As of 2007–08, the Kings and Ducks have never met in the playoffs, nor made the playoffs in the same year
During regular season (and, to some extent, pre-season) games, Kings fans arrive at Honda Center in numbers for away games against the Ducks, and vice-versa for Ducks fans at Staples Center, causing any goal by either team to be celebrated just as loud as if the home team scored. Honda Center, previously known as the Arrowhead Pond of Anaheim and colloquially called the The Pond, is an indoor arena in Anaheim California Staples Center is a multi-purpose sports Arena in Downtown Los Angeles California adjacent to the L Chants in favor of either team are common. Games between the Southern California crosstown-rivals are often physical and fight-filled. Southern California, or So Cal, is defined as the southern portion of the U The rivalry was showcased for the NHL Premier in London at the start of the 2007–08 NHL Season with two games between the teams.
Detroit Red Wings
The rivalry between the Ducks and Detroit Red Wings has been growing over the years, mainly because of meetings in the playoffs. The Detroit Red Wings are a professional Ice hockey team based in Detroit Michigan, and current Stanley Cup champions The Ducks have faced Detroit more than any other team in the playoffs in their franchise history.
The Ducks and Red Wings became rivals during the 1997 NHL playoffs, when the two teams met in the Western Conference Semifinals. Detroit swept the Ducks in four very close games, three of which that went into overtime. Detroit would sweep Anaheim again in the first round of the 1999 Playoffs, this time in a more convincing manner.
The two teams would not meet in the playoffs again until the 2003 Playoffs. The 2002–03 NHL season was the 86th Regular season of the National Hockey League. The Red Wings were the heavy favorite as they were the defending Stanley Cup champions. This time, however, the Ducks shocked the hockey world as they swept the Red Wings in a four-game upset. The Ducks' defeat of the Wings' in the '03 playoffs would set a tone between the two teams.
In the 2007 Western Conference Finals, the Ducks rallied from a 2–1 series deficit and overcame the absence of Chris Pronger, who was suspended for one game, due to his elbow to the head on Tomas Holmstrom of Detroit in Game 3. Christopher Robert Pronger (born October 10 1974 is a Canadian professional Ice hockey defenceman with the Anaheim Ducks of the National Tomas Holmström (born January 23, 1973, in Piteå, Sweden) is a Swedish professional Ice hockey left winger Many feel the turning point of this series was the Ducks' 5–3 win over Detroit in Game 4. Game 5 saw Detroit ahead 1–0 and dominate the Ducks for over 59 minutes of play, until Anaheim finally tied the game with under a minute to go in play, and sent it into overtime. The Ducks capitalized on the shocker and won with an overtime goal from Teemu Selanne, who stole the puck off a turnover in front of a sprawling Dominik Hasek. Teemu Ilmari Selänne (ˈteːmu ˈilmɑri ˈselænːe (born July 3, 1970) is a Finnish professional Ice hockey right winger who currently Dominik Hašek (ˈdomɪnɪk ˈɦaʃɛk in Czech born January 29 1965 is a Czech retired Ice hockey Goaltender. This rallied the Ducks to defeat the Wings in Game 6 and win the series.
Other contributing factors for the rivalry include a number of former Red Wings choosing to sign as free agents with the Ducks, including Sergei Fedorov in 2003, and Matthieu Schneider and Todd Bertuzzi in 2007. Mathieu Schneider (born June 12, 1969) is an American Professional Ice hockey defenseman currently playing for the Todd Bertuzzi (born 2 February, 1975 in Sudbury, Ontario) is a Canadian professional Ice hockey player for the Calgary The presence of Pronger, considered a sports villain by Detroiters dating back to his career in St. Louis, has also contributed to the growth of this nascent rivalry between Western Conference contenders.
Edmonton Oilers
This rivalry has grown just within the last two years. It started during the 2006 Western Conference Finals when the eight seeded Oilers, along with Chris Pronger, beat the sixth seeded Ducks in five games to advance to the Stanley Cup Finals.
After the season the Ducks felt they needed one more elite defenceman to make the necessary leap to become the Stanley Cup Champions. So on July 3rd, 2006 the Ducks traded Joffrey Lupul, Ladislav Smid, their 2007 first round draft pick, a 2008 second round pick and a conditional 2008 first round draft pick, if they made it to the finals, for Pronger. The Ducks now had the Oilers MVP during those playoffs and with Pronger went on to win the 2007 Stanley Cup, while the Oilers missed the playoffs altogether. The Oilers traded Lupul to the Flyers so, in effect, all that remains from that trade is Smid and their 2007 first round draft choice. After the 2007 Stanley Cup season, the Oilers signed Dustin Penner.
After those playoffs the Oilers made an a huge offer to restricted free agent Dustin Penner. Ducks General Manager Brian Burke called the move "gutless" and claimed Oilers General Manger Kevin Lowe was, "Running his team into the sewer. " Naturally Burke didn't match the offer and the Ducks received Edmonton's 2008 first round pick as well as a 2008 second and third round pick. The first game between these two clubs during the 2007–08 season at Honda Center, two retired police officers were placed in between Burke's box and the visiting general managers box just in case there was an incident.
Other Rivalries
Some other minor adversaries of the Ducks include the San Jose Sharks and the Dallas Stars, who both play in the Pacific Division with the Ducks. The San Jose Sharks are a professional Ice hockey team based in San Jose, California, United States. The Dallas Stars are a National Hockey League team based in Dallas Texas.
The Ducks and Sharks have never met in the playoffs, but most games between the two teams often promise an entertaining game filled with great goaltending, hard checking, and end to end rushes.
The Ducks rivalry with Dallas goes even further, as both teams met twice in the playoffs during their histories. The first playoff meeting with Dallas came in 2003, when the Ducks were en-route to a Cinderella playoff run that would see them only fail in losing the Stanley Cup to the New Jersey Devils in a hard-fought seven-game series. The Stanley Cup (La Coupe Stanley is an Ice hockey club championship Trophy, awarded annually to the National Hockey League (NHL playoffs champion The New Jersey Devils are a professional Ice hockey team based in Newark New Jersey. The Ducks came in as a seventh-seeded team in the 2003 playoffs, matched up with Dallas in the Western Conference Semifinal. The Ducks posted two dramatic overtime wins in Games 1 and 2 in Dallas, with the latter lasting well over five overtime periods before a Petr Sykora goal wound end the grueling marathon. Petr Sýkora (pɪitɝ/ɹ̩ sɪkɔɹɑ born November 19, 1976 in Pilsen, Czechoslovakia) is a professional Ice hockey player Games 3 and 4 were in Anaheim, this time with Dallas ending the Ducks' home unbeaten streak with a 2-1 win in Game 3. Game 4 saw a dramatic Ducks win in which Jason Arnott was whistled for a penalty with under 2 minutes to go in regulation. Former Duck Mike Leclerc sealed the bid on a wrist shot that managed to beat Marty Turco from a few feet out on an angle from the net. Michael Leclerc (born November 10, 1976 in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada) is a Professional Ice hockey player Marty Turco (born August 13, 1975 in Sault Ste Marie Ontario) is a Canadian professional Ice hockey Goaltender with The Ducks won Game 4 by a score of 1-0. Dallas managed to steal Game 5 from the Ducks by a 5-2 score on home ice that saw the Ducks replace Jean-Sebastien Giguere in goal with former backup Martin Gerber. Jean-Sébastien "Jiggy" Giguère (born May 16 1977 in Montreal, Quebec, Canada) is a French Canadian Professional Martin Gerber (born September 3 1974 in Burgdorf, Switzerland) is a professional Ice hockey Goaltender with the Ottawa Senators Game 6 would come back to Anaheim, as the Ducks had a chance to end the series on home ice. Again, the game would end in dramatic fashion as the Ducks held Dallas at bay at a 3-2 score, until Stu Barnes of Dallas would score a disallowed goal, however Dallas would come back some few minutes later to tie the game. Stuart Barnes (born December 25, 1970 in Spruce Grove, Alberta, Canada) is an Assistant coach with the Dallas Stars of Sandis Ozolinsh scored on a one-timed wristshot from in front of the circle that would beat Marty Turco, and edge the Stars in a nail-biting game, by a final score of 4-3, and a Ducks series win in six games.
In 2008, the two teams met again in the Western Conference Quarterfinals, as the Ducks and Stars finished fourth and fifth, respectively, earning both teams a rendezvous in the first round, with Anaheim in the favor of home-ice advantage. The Ducks came off a Stanley Cup win in 2007, and were favored to win the series, although the Stars boasted a powerful lineup, stacked with trade deadline acquisition Brad Richards from the Tampa Bay Lightning, and the leadership of veteran Mike Modano, not to mention the blossoming defensive play of Stephane Robidas, and workhorse-like qualities of Brenden Morrow. Bradley Glenn Richards (born May 2, 1980, in Murray Harbour, Prince Edward Island) is a Canadian Professional Ice The Tampa Bay Lightning is a professional ice hockey team based in Tampa Florida.

Mike Ribeiro (born February 10 1980, in Montreal, Quebec, Canada) is a professional Ice hockey player of Portuguese The Ducks rallied from a 2-0 deficit in the second period on goals from Teemu Selanne and Travis Moen to tie the game at 2, bringing a sold-out Honda Center crowd to their feet.

With the Ducks down 2 games to none, tremendous pressure was placed on the Ducks to stay alive in the series. Game 3 would be played in front of a raucous Dallas crowd, only to see the Ducks stay alive by winning 4-2, with the help of two power-play goals from Chris Pronger, goals from Todd Marchant and Travis Moen, and the goaltending of Giguere.

However, Dallas again took advantage of a Ducks penalty early in the 3rd, as goals from Robidas, Barnes, Loui Eriksson, and Modano put a dagger in the heart for the Ducks hopes of a repeat in 2008.
