Anaheim has been mentioned before for their new third jersey, but the Ducks are not done. The team released that starting on Oct. 8, players will, on certain dates throughout the season, wear jerseys that the franchise has used over their 25-year history. According to the Ducks official website. Due to NHL game jsersey rules the players will only wear them to warm up.<\/p>\n

Because of the number of jerseys returning, there will be many games featuring a throwback. Some of the more notable jerseys to come back are the \u201cWild Wing Breakout\u201d jersey, featuring their mascot jumping through the ice, and the flashy \u201cNike Third Jerseys\u201d that used black in the color scheme for the first time.<\/p>\n

The team said that they will honor former players and sell memorabilia that was sold at the time the jerseys were in use.<\/p>\n

The first two jerseys that will be used are the home and away ones that debuted in 1993 featuring the logo from Disney’s “D3”. The first game that will feature the iconic home jersey is against the Detroit Red Wings<\/a>. It is a noteworthy game as The Mighty Ducks of Anaheim played their first-ever game at home against the Red Wings on Oct. 8, 1993 \u2013 exactly 25 years separating the two games.<\/p>\n

New Jersey Devils<\/a><\/h2>\n

The Devils released a \u2018Heritage Jersey\u2019 on August 21 that they will wear for select games this coming season. The jersey features the color green that was last seen on a Devils uniform in 1992. Furthermore, the jersey was used for 10 years as their first uniform after relocating from Colorado as the Rockies.<\/p>\n

The color scheme is often referred to as the \u2018Christmas Sweaters\u201d for the Devils, but it is not the only red, green and white combination in the league. The Minnesota Wild<\/a> have used it since their start in 2000.<\/p>\n

The heritage jersey compares to the home jersey used by the Devils from 1982-1992 with a few stylistic changes, like thinning of stripes and the signature Adidas collar.<\/p>\n
