The Anaheim Ducks are reportedly ditching what are widely considered one of the worst uniforms in the NHL for a new retro look that harkens back to 'The Mighty Ducks' look from the 1990s. The new logo is reportedly a modern take on the original, while the uniforms will shy away from the original team colors and be predominately orange with black and gold accents. One can only assume that these new unis will look a lot like the 30th anniversary alternate uniforms the team wore last season.

Likewise the Los Angeles Kings are reportedly switching to a uniform that resembles the black and silver 'Gretzky' era ones the team wore when Pearl Jam were dominating the radio airwaves.
I think that this is a great move teams!
From Bleacher Report:
The Los Angeles Kings and Anaheim Ducks will debut "modernized" versions of retro logos on new uniforms next season, according to hockey branding site Icethetics.
The Ducks will feature a new version of the Mighty Ducks logo, while the Kings will wear a black-and-silver logo reminiscent of the Wayne Gretzky era "with a new crown design inside," Icethetics reported.Icethetics reported that both uniforms should be revealed by the time the 2024 NHL Draft begins June 28.
The Ducks wore versions of the Mighty Ducks logo from when they were founded by The Walt Disney Company in 1993 until 2006.
The team changed its name and logo for the 2006-07 season and promptly won the Stanley Cup.
The franchise has since stayed away from the Mighty Ducks branding as the team's main logo, although the Ducks have used the design on alternate and Reverse Retro jerseys.
The Kings marked the arrival of Gretzky from the Edmonton Oilers by changing their colors to black and silver, with a primary logo emphasizing the word "Kings" in a crest, prior to the 1988-89 season.
