It’s a popular sentiment from both fans of the team and fans of others around the NHL. An aura of nostalgia surrounding the eggplant and jade and the Disney-fied cartoon logo of Wild Wing with crossed hockey sticks has existed since the moment new owners Henry and Susan Samueli changed the team’s branding to the current web-footed “D” logo with black, orange, white, and gold color scheme for the 2006-2007 season.
The desire to return to the original branding took on a new energy in 2015, when the Ducks unveiled a new alternate jersey emblazoned with the classic Mighty Ducks logo, though this time splashed in bright orange.
