The '''Anaheim Ducks''' are a professional [[ice hockey]] team based in [[Anaheim, California]]. The Ducks compete in the [[National Hockey League]] (NHL) as a member of the [[Pacific Division (NHL)|Pacific Division]] in the [[Western Conference (NHL)|Western Conference]]. The team plays its home games at [[Honda Center]], and is owned by [[Henry Samueli|Henry and Susan Samueli]].

The Ducks are one of two teams based in the [[Greater Los Angeles]] area, along with the [[Los Angeles Kings]].

The Ducks were founded as an [[expansion team]] for the [[1993–94 NHL season|1993–94 season]] by [[the Walt Disney Company]], and were known as the '''Mighty Ducks of Anaheim''', a name based on the 1992 film ''[[The Mighty Ducks (film)|The Mighty Ducks]]''. In 2005, Disney sold the franchise to the Samuelis, who, along with then-general manager [[Brian Burke (ice hockey)|Brian Burke]], changed the name of the team to the Anaheim Ducks before the [[2006–07 NHL season|2006–07 season]]. The Ducks have won six Pacific Division championships, and have advanced to the [[Stanley Cup Final]] twice, losing to the [[New Jersey Devils]] in [[2003 Stanley Cup Final|2003]], and winning the Stanley Cup in [[2007 Stanley Cup Final|2007]] over the [[Ottawa Senators]], becoming the first of the three California-based teams to win the Stanley Cup. The Ducks have produced two [[Conn Smythe Trophy]] winners as the [[most valuable player]] of the playoffs – [[Jean-Sébastien Giguère|Jean-Sebastian Giguere]] in 2003 and [[Scott Niedermayer]] in 2007.

{{main|History of the Anaheim Ducks}}

===Start of a franchise (1993–1994)===
The Mighty Ducks of Anaheim were founded in 1993 by [[The Walt Disney Company]]. The franchise was awarded by the NHL in December 1992, alongside the rights to a [[Miami]] team founded by [[Wayne Huizenga]] that would become the [[Florida Panthers]]. An entrance fee of $50&nbsp;million was required, half of which Disney would pay directly to the Los Angeles Kings in order to "share" the Los Angeles media market.<ref name=add>{{cite news|url=https://www.washingtonpost.com/archive/sports/1992/12/11/nhl-expands-to-miami-and-anaheim-in-entertaining-twist/7afdf139-1ef7-4b5b-9e9d-ded84ba3fc7c/|title=NHL expands to Miami and Anaheim in entertaining twist|last=Sell|first=Dave|newspaper=[[The Washington Post]]|date=December 11, 1992|access-date=August 27, 2022}}</ref> On March 1, 1993, at the brand-new [[Honda Center|Anaheim Arena]], the team's name was announced.

==Team information==

===Name===
Founded in 1993, the then-called Mighty Ducks of Anaheim were directly named for ''[[The Mighty Ducks (film series)|The Mighty Ducks]]'' movies. When [[the Walt Disney Company]], which produced the movies and owned the NHL team, sold the team in 2005, the name was shortened to Anaheim Ducks.<ref name=add/><ref name=LV />

===Uniforms===

====1993–2006====
[[File:Anaheimhome1993-2004.jpg|thumb|230px|The original Mighty Ducks of Anaheim white jersey from 1993 to 2006.]]
The Mighty Ducks' original road (later home) jersey features an eggplant and jade base, divided by silver, purple and white diagonal stripes. The home (later road) jersey has a white and jade base, divided by purple, white and silver diagonal stripes. For most of its history, purple pants were used with this set; from 1993 to 1997, and from 1999 to 2003, the pants featured jade and white stripes. In 1996, an alternate front-facing "angry duck mask" logo is added on the shoulders.<ref name=DucksUniforms>{{cite web|url=https://www.sportslogos.net/logos/list_by_team/1736/Anaheim-Ducks-Logos/ |title=Anaheim Ducks Logo History |publisher=Chris Creamer|website=SportsLogos.net|access-date=July 24, 2025}}</ref>

In 1995, as part of the NHL's third jersey program, the Mighty Ducks wore alternate "Wild Wing" jerseys, featuring the current mascot breaking out of a sheet of ice amid a jade base and purple trim. The primary logo appears on both shoulders. Even though the Mighty Ducks won two of three games with this uniform, it was immediately retired.<ref name=DucksUniforms/>

From 1997 to 1999, the Mighty Ducks wore two alternate jerseys. The road alternate has a jade base with purple, jade and silver stripes along the chest and sleeves, and the home alternate has a white base with jade, purple and silver stripes along the chest and sleeves. During this period, the Mighty Ducks switched to black pants and helmets, but in 1999, returned to wearing purple pants and helmets while retiring the road alternate jerseys.<ref name=DucksUniforms/>

In 2003, the Mighty Ducks released a black alternate jersey with purple and silver trim. This design features the full team name written in a classic script style, and the interlocking "MD" on both shoulders.<ref name=DucksUniforms/>

====2006–2014====
[[File:Anaheim Ducks.svg|thumb|230px|The duck foot logo has been in use as either a primary or secondary logo since 2006.]]
After rebranding as the Anaheim Ducks, the uniforms became black and white with metallic gold and orange stripes. The crest featured the full team name in front. This set was worn until the 2013–14 season, with a few adjustments after [[Reebok]] moved to the Edge template in 2007.<ref name=DucksUniforms/>

In 2010, the Ducks unveiled a black alternate jersey, featuring the "webbed D" as the main crest and thick orange stripes. The original Mighty Ducks logo, this time recolored to the current scheme and placed inside a white oval with the full team name, was placed on the shoulders.<ref name=DucksUniforms/>

For their Stadium Series game on January 25, 2014, the Ducks created a special jersey. This jersey is primarily orange with black lettering and numbers. The chromed Ducks logo, designed for the Stadium Series, is on the chest. There are gold, black and white stripes on the sleeves as well as black trim around the bottom and sleeves. The jersey has old fashion black lace on the neck and also has a unique "OC" logo on the left shoulder to represent Orange County where the Ducks are from.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.nbcsports.com/nhl/news/ducks-unveil-stadium-series-jerseys|title=Ducks unveil Stadium Series jerseys|last=Halford|first=Mike|publisher=NBC Universal|date=December 3, 2013|website=NBCSports.com|accessdate=July 24, 2025}}</ref>

====2014–2024====
In 2014, the "webbed D" alternate became the primary jersey, and a corresponding white jersey was also unveiled. The letters, previously with a gold accent, now featured orange accents. This set was later tweaked in 2017 after [[Adidas]] became the NHL's uniform provider.<ref name=DucksUniforms/>

In 2015, an orange third jersey was unveiled, with the modified Mighty Ducks crest in front. The "webbed D" was moved to the shoulders. This set was used until 2017, and was brought back in a modern Adidas template starting in 2019.<ref name=DucksUniforms/>

The Ducks announced for their 25th anniversary season of 2018–19 the adoption of a new third jersey, featuring the original Mighty Ducks logo, striping pattern, and purple and jade colors. While it had the elements of the original jersey, it kept the modern-day aspects of the Ducks identity such as the "webbed D" on the shoulders, black base and current lettering.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.ocregister.com/2018/07/21/anaheim-ducks-announce-throwback-jersey-for-home-opener/|title=Ducks reveal their new third jersey for their 25th anniversary season|last=Teaford|first=Elliott|newspaper=The Orange County Register|date=July 21, 2018|accessdate=July 24, 2025}}</ref>

For the 2020–21 season, Adidas released a special alternate uniform called the "Reverse Retro" series, which were alternate color versions of [[throwback uniform]] designs. The Ducks' version was a white rendition of their 1995–96 Wild Wing alternates.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.latimes.com/sports/hockey/story/2020-11-16/kings-ducks-nhl-reverse-retro-jerseys|title=Kings and Ducks embrace the past with NHL's 'Reverse Retro' alternate jerseys|last=Harris|first=Jack|newspaper=Los Angeles Times|date=November 16, 2020|accessdate=July 24, 2025}}</ref> A second "Reverse Retro" uniform was unveiled in the 2022–23 season, this time with the 1993–2006 white uniform recolored to the current orange, black and gold colors.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.espn.com/nhl/story/_/id/34829213/ranking-all-32-nhl-reverse-retro-jerseys-2022-23|title=Ranking all 32 NHL Reverse Retro jerseys for 2022-23 | last=Wyshynski|first=Greg|publisher=ESPN Enterprises Inc.|date=October 20, 2022|website=ESPN.com|accessdate=July 24, 2025}}</ref>

The Ducks unveiled a 30th-anniversary alternate uniform for the 2023–24 season. The design brought back the purple and jade look the team originally sported from 1993 to 2006, and debuted a new version of the "Wild Wing" mask logo inside a jade circle with the "Anaheim Ducks" name and current logo.<ref>{{cite news|title=Ducks Unveil 30th Anniversary Jersey for 2023-24 Season|url=https://www.nhl.com/ducks/news/ducks-unveil-30th-anniversary-jersey-for-2023-24-season/c-345074764|publisher=Anaheim Ducks |via=NHL.com|date=June 28, 2023|access-date=June 29, 2023}}</ref>

====2024–present====
[[File:Anaheim Ducks 2024-25 Wordmark Dark.svg|thumb|250px|The current wordmark for the Anaheim Ducks.]]
On June 24, the Ducks fully unveiled their new logo and their new [[Fanatics, Inc.|Fanatics]]-produced jerseys. The home jersey is fully orange with black, gold, and white striping on the bottom and sleeves of the jersey, while the away jersey is white with orange shoulders and the same colored stripes as the home jersey. Both jerseys feature a revised version of the Duck foot logo of 2006–2024 on the shoulders.<ref>{{cite web|title=Ducks Unveil Brand Evolution with New Logo and Jerseys|url=https://www.nhl.com/ducks/news/ducks-unveil-brand-evolution-with-new-logo-and-jerseys|publisher=Anaheim Ducks |website=NHL.com|date=June 26, 2024|access-date=June 26, 2024}}</ref>

====Colors and logos====
The team's colors were eggplant and jade until the change of ownership in 2006. At this point, they became orange, black and gold, with white in place of black for the away jersey. The only exception is the alternate jersey, which is mostly orange. Orange, which has become one of the team's primary colors, is in reference to [[Orange County, California|Orange County]], where Anaheim is located.<ref name=LV>{{cite news|last=Marrazza|first=Dan|title=How NHL Teams Got Their Names|url=https://www.nhl.com/goldenknights/news/nhl-teams-getting-their-names/c-283742854|publisher=Vegas Golden Knights |via=NHL.com |date=June 14, 2016|access-date=May 4, 2018}}</ref>

The original Mighty Ducks logo featured an old-style [[Jacques Plante]]-inspired  [[goaltender mask]], shaped to form the appearance of a duck bill. Behind the mask are two intersecting hockey sticks, a black hockey puck, and a triangle; the color of the triangle alternated between green and gray.

Upon renaming, the Ducks' logo changed into a webbed foot forming a "D". The text itself is gold (which sometimes may appear as bronze as well) with orange and black accents (forming a [[Three-dimensional space|three-dimensional]] appearance). The entire logo is in turn outlined by silver. This is shortened from a prior wordmark logo that spelled out the word "Ducks" in all capital letters.<ref name=newlogo/>

The current logo of the Ducks is similar to that used in 1993–2006. The refreshed current version has orange hockey sticks which are flat and more curved than that of the original. The triangle is gold, along wuth the shading under the mask. Other new additions include an orange eye and gold shading above the mask’s eye hole. The sticks of the logo still retains the "W" tape, and when shown together shows WW as a nod to the mascot Wild Wing. A revised duck foot, dropping the orange stripe, grey and white outlines is featured as a secondary logo on the shoulders.<ref name=orangelogo>{{Cite web |title=Fans|url=https://www.nhl.com/ducks/fans/orange-country |access-date=August 16, 2024 |publisher=Anaheim Ducks |via=NHL.com|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20250715143519/https://www.nhl.com/ducks/fans/orange-country|archive-date=July 15, 2025}}</ref>

===Mascot===
The official mascot for the team is an [[Anthropomorphism|anthropomorphized]] [[duck]] by the name of Wild Wing. He has been the team's mascot since its inaugural season. He wears a Ducks jersey with the number 93 on the back, referring to the year the Ducks became an NHL team.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://mascothalloffame.com/mascots/wild-wing/|title=Wild Wing|publisher=Mascot Hall of Fame|website=MascotHallofFame.com|date=February 16, 2023 |accessdate=July 24, 2025}}</ref>

He regularly descends from the rafters of the arena when making his in-game entrances.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.anaheimducks.com/fanzone/wing.php |title=Wild Wing |publisher=Anaheim Ducks |access-date=March 23, 2007 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070617080118/http://www.anaheimducks.com/fanzone/wing.php |archive-date=June 17, 2007}}</ref> In one such descent the rigging that lowered Wild Wing from the rafters malfunctioned leaving the mascot trapped fifty feet above the ice for several minutes. Another well known blunder occurred in October 1995 when Wild Wing, attempting to jump through a "wall of fire", accidentally tripped causing the mascot to land on the fire and set his costume ablaze.<ref>{{cite magazine |url=http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/more/news/2003/07/10/mascot_timeline/ |title=A history of bizarre mascot incidents |date=July 12, 2003 |magazine=Sports Illustrated |access-date=September 11, 2008 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080928093110/http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/more/news/2003/07/10/mascot_timeline/ |archive-date=September 28, 2008}}</ref>

His physical appearance is similar to the duck mask in the original Mighty Ducks logo. A bronze statue of Wild Wing was located outside the south doors of Honda Center from 1993 to 2012,<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.ocregister.com/ocregister/news/atoz/article_1146482.php |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20060706235403/http://www.ocregister.com/ocregister/news/atoz/article_1146482.php |url-status=dead |archive-date=July 6, 2006 |title=Mallard nests at The Pond |work=The Orange County Register |access-date=September 27, 2016}}</ref> until construction began on the 'Grand Terrace' addition to the arena. When construction was completed and the Grand Terrace opened, the statue was noticeably absent. The statue was later returned from storage in 2017 and sits at the southeast entrance of the arena.<ref>{{cite news |url=https://www.dailynews.com/2017/12/11/andy-welinski-savors-call-up-to-ducks-for-first-nhl-game/ |title=Andy Welinski savors call up to Ducks for first NHL game |newspaper=Los Angeles Daily News |last=Stephens |first=Eric |date=December 12, 2017 |access-date=August 16, 2024 |url-access=registration}}</ref>

The mascot was the inspiration for the character Wildwing Flashblade in Disney's ''[[Mighty Ducks: The Animated Series|Mighty Ducks]]'' cartoon series.<ref>{{cite magazine|url=https://thehockeynews.com/nhl/seattle-kraken/latest-news/krakens-buoy-and-30-mascot-pals-part-2|title=Kraken's Buoy And 30 Mascot Pals, Part 2|magazine=The Hockey News|last=Dreyfuss|first=Glenn|date=June 18, 2024|accessdate=August 16, 2024}}</ref>

The Mighty Ducks also used a secondary "mascot", a person (with no particular costume) called the Iceman, during the team's first game in 1993. The Iceman appeared occasionally in the stands, played an electric guitar, and attempted to liven up the crowd. However, the Iceman was poorly received by fans and was quickly eliminated after the Ducks lost to the Red Wings in their inaugural game, 7–2.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1993-10-13-mn-45320-story.html |title=Ducks' Iceman Exiled After Cold Shoulder From Fans : Entertainment: Mascot blames technical glitches for boos from hockey crowd.
