😢 no more adidas

Ducks rebrand is gorgeous!! So glad the Mighty Duck logo is back!

I genuinely love the new Ducks logo more than the original. The biggest difference to me is the “holes” within the mask. They’re bigger and they contour to the bends of the mask! Really adds a different dimension to the iconic logo! Fantastic redesign!

Not surprising, considering they’re still manufactured from the same factory in Canada. The shoulder dimples was an adidas thing, makes sense that Fanatics did not retain the design. It is nice though that MiC’s are made available to fans again

Still the highest quality video production on KZfaq!

The GE in RANGERS is definitely too close together. Like when I’m writing a word and didn’t leave myself enough room on the paper so I smush the letters closer together

Going to miss the shoulder dimples. It was a nice touch.

Absolutely love the Ducks rebrand. I am a diehard Stars fan but live in OC now. Will definitely be picking up a new jersey when they launch. As an OC resident I'm so glad they are leaning into OC as a market. The Angels do themselves such a disservice trying to half heartedly hitch themselves to LA.

The Matte finish helmets will be interesting, wonder if other teams will do it as well in the coming years

Moving away from the Mighty Ducks brand was the worst mistake the Anaheim Ducks did, so to see its return as the true icon once more makes me so happy.

I don't think the on ice jerseys were ever at risk, when it was stated that the factory in Canada will still be utilized. It's what the fan options are, and we've seen their low end output for years at this point, and where Fanatics reputation really derives from. (MLB debacle not withstanding.) Despite the promise of being provided actual, on ice authentics made by that very same factory in Canada, where it was never offered before. Is that factory even capable of a retail demand?

Love all the content and coverage!! Can’t wait to see your channel grow, you deserve it.

The 90s Kings and (mostly) the Mighty Ducks are Back!!! Cue the music!! 🎶 THE MIGHTY DUCKS OF ANAHEIM!! Rock the Pond! A surging force that never dies! 🎶

really wish Boston kept the centennial logo design, but made the jerseys less of a spectacle now that that season is over

The production quality for someone with your number of subs is amazing! Keep it up

Wow these are so high quality videos! I love all the transitions and the subtle details you use! Plus the artwork is fantastic.

I liked the dimple fabric because it broke up the negative space the shoulders commonly have and helped added variety and texture throughout the entire jersey

Home Ducks kit needs more orange I reckon

Unreal video as always! Thanks for the great updates 👍👍

Love the video. Kept me entertained and interested, please never stop!

The Ducks rebrand is fantastic! Amazing video as always, thank you so much for all your hard work putting these together for us. Can't wait to see more from your interview with the Ducks!

The Quack Attack is back Jack!!!!! QUACK QUACK btw the new number and word font represents the citrus industry signs around the OC

Thankyou for what you do Chris, Great Job!

Love the Kings and Ducks rebrands. The new, bolder letters in the Kings logo somehow make more sense to me now that I see it on the front of a jersey, while it looked a little strange to me when it was revealed. But as for the jerseys... this actually doesn't look bad at all. Like everyone, I was super pessimistic about the Fanatics takeover, but your videos helped calm my nerves, and now I'm actually excited for this change. The only thing I'm worried about now is the price. I basically stopped collecting jerseys soon after Adidas took over, because they just became too expensive for me, and I didn't think the Fanatics versions were worth the lower price. The only jerseys I buy nowadays are the Penguins special jerseys, and that'll probably continue. Looking forward to getting the new ones, but I don't think I will collect any other team like I used to.

Thank you so much Chris! Now that the season has ended, teams rolling out new looks is what keeps me going through the offseason (with all sports frankly). I haven't had an issue with the Fanatics breakaway replica jerseys so far, and this unveil looks highly promising!

11:34 it looks to me as if there’s a larger space in between the letters ran and gers. Maybe this is hinting at a centennial jersey next year with a New York water mark instead of rangers??

Thanks for the news !

Thanks Chris, great work as always. Can't wait to see what the draft has in store for us

Just a like & a comment thanking you for this content, you make being a hockey fan a better experience for all of us. 👏👏

Big day it is new icethetics video!!! Waiting your clips eagerly!

If the Kings make a third with purple/forum blue, I’ll buy it immediately. The new home/aways look so similar to the Gretzky-era jerseys

You deserve so much more likes and subscribers. Thank you for the amazing content, as usual. Nothing new to see here other than the subject material lol.

I like the Ducks rebrand a lot. It’s what I wish more teams who want to go retro should do. Modernize it enough that it’s different yet still keeps the mold of the original. One thing is I wish the shoulders were black, just to break up the orange, the same issue I have with Nashville. The Kings should have used that logo with new colours, the matte helmets are cool though.

I think it says a lot that the Mike Emrick video really highlights the word “stitch” so prominently. It makes me feel a bit more reassured that the jerseys won’t evolve into the cheaper heat-transfer or sublimated methods we’ve seen in other venues.

wow your video opened my eyes to a lot of details i missed on the new ducks jerseys, kudos and thanks for such high quality coverage

Thanks, Chris! Always great insight. Looking forward to the future video with Ducks Marketing personal.

Thumbs up to the designers at Fanatics. This is a great update for the Ducks with subtle changes that collectively make a big improvement on a familiar theme.

Love the Ducks rebrand, a little unimpressed by the Kings. Wish both had purple!

great stuff chris, been a fan of your work since before the name changed to icethetics

Wished the lightning went back to black and blue.

Thanks Chris!!

that circle 50th anniversary caps logo would look sweet at centre ice

I hope that the sizing is a tad bit bigger or at least the Authentic Pro has the option for a goalie cut. I like my jerseys loose and a size 60 adidas was way too tight and the sleeves went half way up my arm.

@icethetics I cannot thank you enough for your hard work on not just your videos but all the research and reporting you have made. Today is "Christmas Day" for us jersey nerds. What a massive upgrade for both the Ducks and Kings. Thrilled they will look so much better than they have in so many years. Definitely when you can, please confirm that Rangers jersey was not a manufacturing error. I hope to buy that Fanatics MiC version next season.

Love the Ducks retro revamp, same with the Kings. Also, there is no other reason the wild north stars color combo would be shown so prominently

The production of your videos Chris are second to none.

I noticed the Wild now have a hanger effect inside the collar of their home jersey. They didn't have one with the adidas template so seeing that was a cool surprise.

I’m so happy to see a lot of teams going back to an earlier era of jerseys. Also good for LA Kings for losing the shiny silver helmets

I wish more teams would have taken this opportunity to make some updates to their jerseys. I’m looking at you Winnipeg, Vancouver, Columbus, and Tampa

I never knew the Canadians did that with the nhl shield

I kinda like the whole Fanatics name brand thing now being officially worn on-ice-neat little tie in and touch linking the fans to the players and vice versa! 👍🏻

That Kings kit looks so clean 🧼

I'm both excited and anxious for this new era. Hopefully it turns out well for fanatics. Also those ducks jerseys are gorgeous!

Making quality content with the latest news available is quite remarkable on this channel.

It appears the size tag/made in Canada tag is heat sealed instead of stitched. If so, that’s terrible.

Great video!! If you get a chance to ask about the consistency of sizing of the jerseys. I have quite a few Adidas jerseys (not the game ready version) that were supposed to be size 60, but sadly are nowhere near that size.

Should be purple

I think this is going to be a good step forward.

That ducks logo looks so good the way it sticks out

The Ducks have definitely upped their look. There's almost an instant-classic feel to the updated logos and jersey. The Kings improved too - I really like the refreshed logo, but seeing them in the purple and gold the past couple of years with the Adidas Reverse Retro sweaters has spoiled me. I can't believe they're insisting on the black, silver and grey colour palette, but that is just me complaining lol. I'll miss the Bruins centennial jerseys a lot, as it was a really sharp look. I already the Adidas shoulder dimples - for whatever the reason, it was my favourite part of the sweaters. The new holographic NHL badge on the collar looks great though! I'm remaining optimistic as the sweaters roll out under Fanatics, and this video has eased some nervous about how they'd look. Amazing work as always Chris!

I love Icethetics, and the passion & effort that Chris puts in. I miss alternate versions of dark & white jersey logos. I was hoping Boston & Anaheim would return to this classic beautiful treatment style, but both now have an identical logo for home & away 😢. The Wild Wing mask is overdue! Woot! The "illuminated" eye-hole seems odd on an empty mask though (seriously, compare old & new, you'll see), but it also resembles the Kraken's "red eye" too much too me. Alas, a small gripe, but do I hope they revise the proportions between the circle and the triangle in a future update, as the circle seems to overwhelm currently - I may be biased due to familiarity with the original. Do modern kids even know what that mask is supposed to be? 🤔. Finally, with LA & Vegas using sparkle fabric, it seems a deliberate choice the Ducks avoided to stay different.

Is the jersey sizing the same? Thanks for the coverage!

After seeing these recent releases I’m feeling a lot more positive about these fanatics jerseys

So it looks like Brodie Brazil (Bay Area sports guy) was allowed to see the Sharks fanatics jerseys early, and he made a great video about it. It looks like they are very similar to the Adidas jerseys and we also get a picture of the Away jersey.

The ultimate source along side Sportslogo and Brody.

Great job as always on the video.

I still like my Winnipeg Jets RCAF game issued jersey that I bought from the Jets team store website and got it in earlier this month! That is my 2nd favorite hockey jersey!

Ducks did a great job. I might have gone with black numbers on the away jersey but I'll have to try it and see for myself, I could be wrong.

Minnesota added the Minnesota writing on the collar like our away jersey had before which I really like

I'm no fanatics fan but I am so relieved to see those eyesore Adidas shoulder dimples gone. Looked like a bandaid

I’m very pleased with everything I’m seeing so far. Very pleasantly surprised by the Ducks, and a little disappointed that the Stars didn’t make any subtle changes, was hoping they would adjust some of the accent colors on the victory green and white. Overall it’s looking like a win.

Love the Ducks updates to the logo & while the OG’s will always be my preference, they did a really nice job with the overall design. Just wished they’d go black helmets/pants. Overall I’m relieved as of now with the Fanatics takeover. I honestly am glad to see the shoulder dimples gone & MiC’s long awaited return to retail. Great job as always Chris. Enjoy the draft, looking forward to your up close recap!

New ducks looks real good! Nice! New Kings looks very clean! Nice! Utah looks clean and cool! Nice!

Imagine stars, panthers and hurricanes change to old logos, that would be epic! 👌

The ANA home jersey is missing 1 or 2 outline colors overall, feels like the designers hesitated on finalizing. The flow from white to orange works most of the time but the value color of the orange is a few tones off for the best separation option of having both those colors next to each other.

that 'G' was definitely off on the Rangers jersey

Love how you got this out so fast man! I love my Ducks rebrand and am excited to see how those look on the ice!

Gotta give an A, maybe A+ for the Ducks rebrand. I love that, for once, we see a team take risks in a rebrand after years of teams only slightly tweaking old favourites (see: Sabres, Sens, Flames, Pens, Coyotes, etc.) I still hope for a purple alternate in the future, but I'm excited to see the Ducks on the ice with full orange. The orange pants will help to differentiate them from the Flyers, and I expect to get used to it quickly like I did with the all-teal Sharks uniform. On top of that, the numbers are absolutely gorgeous, and the redesign logo makes the retro one tame in comparison.

Well, most of those are the same and because of that not really something to fuss over. But we do have two new one and OH BOY!! I absolutely love those ducks uniforms! I’m a sucker for retro and that logo is just iconic to me and so, so cool! Also: that orange is gorgeous! I love how bright and bold it is. Really does remind me of California, summer, the sun and all that good stuff. The stripes nicely break it up so it isn’t an entire wall of orange. And on the white one it works really nicely too! And those orange helmets are ridiculous and fun. The kings jersey however isn’t entirely to my liking. I really like the new logo and and the numbers design. The jersey itself is alright too, I’m just not the biggest fan of the color scheme in general. But what really kinda throws me off are the stripes at the bottom. On the black jersey the white and silver stripes contrast nicely with the background but kinda mush together cause they’re too close in color?! And on the white jersey the silver kinda blends into the white?! Maybe a thin third line in contrasting color would have helped? But all in all those are solid jerseys and designs and I think we can maybe all breathe a bit easier now. Thanks as always for your speedy and great report! I was looking forward to this video all day

I'm curious how many of those teams without jersey sponsors yet are going to get one this season. I see by your tracker that Chicago announced theirs.

What worries me is the photo from the Kings today with Drew Doughty shows stitching falling apart around the arm numbers. For a staged photo shoot showing off not only the revamped logo but also the new Fanatics tarps, it’s really bad especially if it happened just by him putting it on. Cant imagine what will possibly happen when they see game use.

The mask is almost flawless. That far cheekbone is a little too big. The lineweights are finally consistent, it looks very satisfying. The highlight and also the tape on the sticks could use a little more work. I'd also try it without the black circle, because it makes me question the alignment of the mask. Otherwise it's pretty cool, I'm happy that they're returning to that look, it's super fun. I'm also a fan of this color scheme, I'd take it over the purple any day. The secondary logo and the type are both stepdowns. I don't know, it feels like they just got a reminder like half hour before the deadline, that they should do them too. Jerseys are solid.

Chris you do such great work dude. Your production value is consistently outstanding 👏

Matte finish for LA! that is my favorite part

As a Phillies fan everything that happened in the spring is still fresh in mind but for my Sharks I want to hold out until we see them hit the ice before passing judgement, as for my SoCal brothers in Orange Country I absolutely love what they have done with their rebrand

The numbers on the Ducks jerseys are terrible. Should’ve kept the block numbers from the classic jersey’s. The numbers look like they were made in a Word Document using Comic Sans.

The Ducks rebrand is good! I don't know how to feel about the golden eyebrows though, they're definitively more noticeable than the old color scheme. And as a Flyers hater, it's funny to see another team looking better than the Flyers in their own color scheme.

Yes the new york RA N GERS, my fav team!

The updated logo looks great, but I still wish they would have gone back to the original colors as well.

Man, I’m so going to have to get one of those Ducks jerseys. They look absolutely amazing.

Beautiful job on the Anaheim Ducks jersey, hope to see Fanatics revamp them all. Adidas won't be missed. Well done Fanatics!!

Awesome video the fanatics jersey looks promising and I really like the f logo fanatics.

Looks like Chicago went from two black stripes in between a thick white one on the sleeve to only one black stripe

In case I missed it, what’s the status on alternates? I remember adidas’ first year they said they were waiting till the 2nd season to release those

I'm interested in which direction the Red Wings will go for the stadium series game. I'd like to see a front facing or side facing winged wheel with a black and chrome tire. They don't have to reinvent the wheel, no pun intended.

Love the Ducks rebrand and Kings going back to Gretzski era

I don’t mind Anaheim’s update, I just think they should’ve done black pants, the orange pants blends in too much with the jersey and socks

I think the Ducks really hit it out of the park. Add a purple/teal third for nostalgia, and they're golden.

the “webbed D” logo works SO much better with these tweaks

Icethetics has all the big news!
