Anaheim Ducks and Los Angeles Kings are Returning to the 90s with New Retro Inspired Uniforms


 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.

Abandoned Louisiana - The Pirate's Cove Water Park / Resort in Iowa

 About ten minutes east of the city of Lake Charles are the remains of an abandoned water park . The decaying structures are clearly visible from the busy I-10 freeway and for years drivers have wondered about it's history and why it was left for dead.   The Pirate's Cove Water Park actually has a rather interesting story behind it. A story that has been repeated over and over again, unfortunately, here in Louisiana. It's just another example of how government bureaucracy in this state killed an enterprise before it could ever get off the ground. Construction on the park began in 2008 and it was scheduled to open sometime in 2010. The sprawling complex was envisioned as an oasis from the hot summer heat that would feature luxurious amenities like a 900 foot long lazy river, a giant splash pad for the kids and eventually a five star hotel. The Pirate's Cove would have been an obvious tourist destination that could have brought much needed tax dollars and employment oppo...

Abandoned Louisiana - The Old Hightower Family Home in Dodson

I have to admit that I have been hanging on to these photos for a couple of months now just looking for the right minute to post them. Back in November I was traveling up to El Dorado, Arkansas and I passed through the small town of Dodson. While driving through town my eyes spotted a very attractive old house up on a hill and I just had to stop and take a few photos of it. I honestly don't know the history of this house, but I'm sure some local will send me message telling me all about it (and someone did see the UPDATE ), and it's not as cool as an abandoned railroad locomotive or old movie house but it really spoke to me. I have to wonder about the people who used to live in it and how it ended up in the state it is now. Anyone can see that it was a beautiful house long ago. What happened? How did such a grand residence end up like this? Those are questions that I can't answer unfortunately.  Unfortunately a site like this isn't all that uncommon here in Louisian...
