Ducks Symbolism:4th Alternate Sweater.

Whether it be originals during the "Mighty" Era,3 previous Alternate sweaters in Ducks history our current ones be it rbk upgrades or Anaheim Ducks Sweaters in 06-07 Stanley Cup Championship year. One thing is certain is each of jersey sweaters are rich in symbolism in team's unique place in Orange County and Hockey world. Ducks D with Orange Stripe shows connection to our team's Home, breaking with tradition in regards to hockey uniform style as it's predecessor with downward stripe in "Mighty" Era. Ducks uni's over the years stuck out for many of us Ducks fans in style of Sweater and Ducks Logo. Be it Ducks Mask in middle of the two hockey sticks all the way to Ducks D with orange stripe below.

If there is one thing i point out it's number 3. If one looks at connections of 3point it shows a connection to Past and present. Ducks D with 3points at the end of footprint and 3 green triangles in old Ducks Logo shows that connection. Hockey sticks crossing together gives us nature of what makes our sport great as one of the greatest team sports in the world.....Orange Stripe as we know relates to Orange County where team is from and place that is imho best city witha diversre culture in Sports,Art and perhaps entertiament. Even though Ducks are in a funk i expect and hope their new alternate will be a hit with those in Ducks Nation.

I don't beleive in NHL Predictions

To me personally assuming the worst is like assuming one's end. To say our Ducks finish 11th even though season did not even started imho was insulting. Yet the need to be optimistic in times like 10-11 and others before is part of who Ducksfans are in standing out from other NHL Fans. Sure This team began with a funny name and unique Logo and Jeresy sweater.....But it did not stop them from going against all odds. Fighting,battling to bitter end each game,season till achiving greatness in winning Stanley Cup 3 years ago.

10-8-3 23pts at this critical moment of the season has lead to questions often they are not surprising but at times when a team does not perform to standards Ducks Nation*Ducksfans in O.C and elswhere* have it creates doubt. However to say Ducks will not make it is almost like saying All is lost in Football game even though the team has not won a superbowl or NCAA Championship. I know it's part of sports for pundits to make their "Predictions" To me assuming who will win and who will lose is abit arrogant nothing more.

Ducks Sucess:Road forward and reflecting

We must never take it for granted nor should we assume we are lucky. Then again there is not one group of Fans who have experince and witness Ducks historic Firsts from First game and Goal along with Win to First Stanley Cup Championship and Playoff win. There can be only one thing that brings up to describe us all it being we are Anaheim Ducks....Why one ask is simple we have experince witness history of our team evolved changed for the better. Be it during early years where Team fought tooth and nail for respect to dark days in lat 90's and early years of 21st century.....The more i see Ducks win more i know they are nearly turning it around this season.

So Far it seems good now Ducks on a 5 game winning streak has slowly close the gap with LA for first place in Pacific Divison. They have created their own luck by pulling off back to back wins against San Jose and Islanders. That is truly something to smile bout. Still there is work to be done in getting our team focusing on 60mins and not costing along by being laidback and having a slow start....Yes it's annoying but it's worth supporting them through the thick and thin. We should not forget many seasons Ducks turn it around and made Stanley Cup Playoffs....think back in 02-03,07-08....this team had slow starts it should be no excuse for many and others to throw in towel and give up.

I do not beleive for sec 10-11 will be long or let alone Ducks faltering every abit since Niedermayer is no longer on Blueline....However History of our team shows reslient nature this team has in past to not only steal some wins but battle back. Whether or not they succeed I beleive all of us in Ducks nation should back them 110%.
