The Anaheim Ducks are returning to their classic duck-billed goalie mask logo for the 2024-25 season.

The Ducks unveiled new jerseys that pay homage to the team’s origins as the Mighty Ducks of Anaheim in a Wednesday post on Instagram.

The uniforms featured a similar logo when the team first joined the NHL as a Disney-owned franchise in 1993, following the release of The Mighty Ducks the year prior.

The Mighty Ducks wore the duck-billed mask logo with a jade and eggplant color scheme from their inaugural season until Disney sold the team to owner Henry Samueli in 2006.

The franchise marked the ownership swap by changing the team name, adjusting the colors to feature orange accents, and donning a new logo featuring a “D” shaped like a duck’s foot.

After the newly-christened Anaheim Ducks went on to win the 2007 Stanley Cup, the team kept the web-footed “D” as part of their logo.

The symbol became the team’s primary logo in 2014 and remained through the 2023-24 season, per NHLUniforms.com.

The new uniforms maintain orange as a primary color, but return to the duck-billed mask as the team’s main logo and bring the jade-and-eggplant scheme back as accents.

The Ducks’ rebrand extends past their uniforms. The team recently applied to trademark the phrase “Orange Country,” which will be used to brand merchandise during the upcoming season, per The Hockey News’ Derek Lee.

The team is also preparing for the 2026 first-phase opening of OCVibe, the $4 billion mixed-use development that is expected to be built around the Honda Center in time for the 2028 Summer Olympics, per James Zoltak of VenuesNow.com.

The Duck also aren’t the only California team rebranding for the 2024-25 season. The Los Angeles Kings have also shared that players will be debuting new uniforms this fall.
