Anaheim name changed for next season

Post by hluraven »

Anaheim have confirmed that they will be called the "Anaheim Ducks" instead of the "Mighty Ducks of Anaheim" from the start of next season.

About bloody time, why would a serious professional outfit be named after a Disney movie. They will also change their colours, but it is not confirmed what to.

As a side note, if we change their name in EHM, will it screw anything up, I never know what names you can or can't change!

If they're going to change the colors and drop the 'Mighty' part I assume the name change only going that far means they're retaining the same logo?? :roll:

They should just use their more dignified third jerseys as their main jersey.

At least they won't be using that darn non-standard naming thing; really that is what drives me the nuttiest about the whole thing. :roll:

I think they should make their helmets look like duck bills.

Or maybe they could go for another Disney theme. Mighty Mickey Mouse of Anaheim... :-k
