Mighty Ducks of Anaheim Away 1993-2006

I previously discussed the Mighty Ducks venture into alternate jersey territory with Wild Wing. I also included the history surrounding the team and its inclusion into the NHL. Now we get to take a look at the team's original jersey scheme. The team's away jersey, that saw action from 1993 to 2006, featured an interesting blend of colors. The team's primary was eggplant (dark purple) with an accent of jade, grey and white. The logo is of a duck mask layered over top of two crossed hockey sticks, a black shaded area (possibly a puck) and a grey triangular background. The slant on the stripe pattern is a unique feature and the use of jade for the outlines of the numbers is pretty cool. The shoulder patch shows Wild Wing enclosed in a circle with the team's name. Overall it's a design that succeeds because it doesn't try to copy other team's jerseys, it makes perfect use of new colors and has one great looking logo.

My final thoughts: Bring them back please! One of the only teams to ever pull off purple of a jersey scheme. The team is in its 20th season so they brought them back for one game but their new jerseys are lame and boring so why not replace them with these awesome jerseys? Just a suggestion. I know Ducks fans agree with me.
