Re: New Unis?
Why is it so hard to include green AND yellow in jerseys? Design is fine but I'm over the silver and black.

Re: New Unis?
The black uniforms would have looked so good with both green and yellow on them like the original black uniforms had. That's my main issue with the black ones.

Re: New Unis?
I think they look amazing, but also agree green/yellow should be seen a bit more overall. Hopefully the rest of the versions in this iteration include that.

Re: New Unis?
The next set of uniforms will be released on July 18th. The O helmets will be making a return, albeit without the mallard color-changing paint.

Re: New Unis?
The latest teaser for tomorrow's uniform release highlights Gang Green. That should give everyone a hint of what's coming, based on the last video they released before the Fly Era ones was about the black diamond plate unis. The takes on this will be interesting.

Re: New Unis?
Pretty solid overall, but I love the lightening yellow so much. And the mustard yellow just doesn't quite do it for me. Cool to wear once a year or something.
I am curious if these will be our regular green jerseys for the next few years?

Re: New Unis?
From what I've been told, these (and the white retros) will be the main uniforms they use for at least this season. The retros are just played out for me after using them last year too. I would rather they stuck to the lightning yellow and modern design instead of going with something so ordinary as the 94-98 uniforms were nothing special to me.UOducksTK1 wrote: Thu Jul 18, 2024 10:43 am Pretty solid overall, but I love the lightening yellow so much.

Re: New Unis?
Not as good as the retros but very solid attempt to merge the past with the present. I would love to see these with a yellow pant as well. My main concern after seeing the first two releases is there doesn't seem to be any continuity between the uniforms; it's as if they took different elements across the past 30 years and pieced different jerseys together. I'll reserve full judgement until they are all released but from this second drop, it does feel like maybe they bit off more than they can chew

Re: New Unis?
They're definitely not as good as the original retros. It loses something without the Duck Through the O logo and shoulder stripes. They went with the Duck head logo because of trademark issues with Disney. There will be retro-inspired yellow pants and helmet along with a white jersey just like this one. I'll agree that they tried mashing up too many elements as one set is from 94-98 while the other is 99 to now, with the only common thread being the O logo. That's sort of on Kenny Farr, who pushed for the more retro look during the brainstorming/design process and then with the retros last year. As the season goes on, I think people will not like some of the combos and the lack of mix and match between the sets.DmoneyDuck wrote: Thu Jul 18, 2024 12:13 pm Not as good as the retros but very solid attempt to merge the past with the present.

Based on what I've heard/seen, these will be the uniform elements they have this season:
Helmets: green retro, yellow retro (with green/white center stripe), black wing, chrome wing
Jerseys: green retro, white retro, black modern, yellow modern (with cancer awareness patches), white modern
Pants: green retro, yellow retro, black modern, yellow modern, white modern, and gray modern

Re: New Unis?
So sounds like they'll rotate through the retro feel vs a more modern feel? (pretty sure that's what I heard around 1:13)

Interesting. So the green we see in the video will be our only green allegedly?greenyellow wrote: Thu Jul 18, 2024 2:07 pmThey're definitely not as good as the original retros.
