It’s the fourth Friday of the month, which means it’s time for the monthly Anaheim Ducks mailbag. You ask the questions and our Pucks of a Feather staff answers them.

Here are our last few mailbags: June 2018, May 2018, April 2018.

What do you guys think about the new third jerseys?

Chris Bushell – Really like the new jerseys I know some people have an issue it’s not the “original Mighty Duck” jersey but that’s not what they were going for. They are incorporating all the jerseys they’ve ever had and think they look incredible. If there’s one issue I have it’s the shoulder patch because I think the colors don’t work but it’s minor and still love it.

Ciara Durant – I know there’s been a lot of contention about the third jersey. I’ve heard every complaint in the book about it. Yes, the Ducks could have made the third jersey a complete throwback. However, in retrospect, that completely defeats the purpose. The new third jersey was created to bring together all 25 years of Anaheim Ducks history. It’s all about linking the Ducks of the past with the Ducks of the present.

I may have been a little shocked by how much black was incorporated into the jersey. Nevertheless, I am loving the creative spin they put on this jersey. Who would have thought that eggplant, jade, orange, gold, silver, white, and black would have collectively looked good together? I honestly wish they would have put that much creative effort into the 25th-anniversary logo. That, however, is a different rant for a different day! I’m just excited to see the new third jersey’s in action on opening night!

Kenny Marcial – I love the new jerseys. I know the eggplant has been iconic for the retro look, but I’m glad they replaced it with black.

Ed Stein – Honestly, I’m kind of meh on them. I appreciate them embracing the Mighty Ducks logo, but I think the jerseys are too busy.

Jacob Robles – I really like them. I personally wanted the Orange alternates to make a comeback but those will be back next year so I can’t complain. There are some minor things I’d change but regardless, they’re still really nice. Excited to see what the full kit looks like.
