Off-season

Rebrand

During the 2024 offseason, the Anaheim Ducks underwent a major rebrand. After teasing their new logo starting on June 14, on June 24 the Ducks released their new logo. The new logo was heavily influenced by their "Mighty Ducks" branding, but with the jade and eggplant replaced by orange and gold,[1] [2] [3] with the new branding catering to "Orange Country," in reference to Orange County and the surrounding area's history of growing oranges.[4] The former webbed-duck foot logo was retained as a secondary logo and a shoulder pad patch.[5]
