Que pensez-vous de ces maillots ? Personnellement, je pense qu’ils sont un trésor caché et qu’ils ont disparu bien trop tôt. Le blanc était beaucoup plus souvent utilisé, mais j’ai toujours pensé que la version jade était plus belle.

Some fun facts;
Nike brought these in to capitalize on the Ducks’ best-selling jersey in the late ‘90s. They added a white one, making the Ducks one of the only teams to have four jerseys at the time.
The jersey debuted at the 1997 Draft, where Michael Holmqvist wore it on stage.
In 1997-98, the Ducks wore this on long road trips, but in 1999 they dialed it back to only a handful of games before retiring it the next year. I’m guessing it was expensive to maintain four jersey sets, and the fact that home teams at the time wore white but had dark third jerseys they would pull out on any given night. 1996-2001 was very much the Wild West for jerseys.
The cameras at the time didn’t do justice to how vibrant the colors are. A lot of the TV footage and photos make it look muddy. In person, it is bright, vivid, and shiny.
I’m secretly obsessed with these jerseys and they are what made me a true hockey jersey collector. It is sad that these didn’t get more love/playtime. The white ones were good, but in my opinion, the jade ones were much better.
Does anyone have any stories/facts about these?
I never realized they wore the original socks with them. That’s a fun fact.
Ngl I think they’re ugly lol. They aren’t smooth aesthetically. It looks like a Picasso jersey with a clash of horizontal and vertical stripes
I too like the white version more
I’ve never been overly a fan of non-traditional designs, but I find this to be creative and works. It’s a little wacky but I don’t hate it outright.
They were somewhat fun for an alt but overall a little bland, imo.
As with the standard set, I think the white version was a lot better, but unfortunately doesn’t boost it much higher with this specific design

I love this oddball jersey, I have a Selanne in the jade version and usually get a few compliments when wearing it to Ducks games.
The jersey was low key one of my favorites. The problem was the two years they wore them was the two years the Ducks wore black helmets, pants and gloves so it didn’t really match. If they had been rocked with eggplant and jade, I think it would’ve looked much better.
They wore the white version for three years and only one of those years had eggplant/jade helmet, pants and gloves.
I vividly remember my friend in school having one of these and I was jealous because I wanted one bad. But now I think they are ugly. But too each their own my personal favorite is the koho third jersey from 05. But some say that’s ugly too. At the end of the day you like what you like nothing wrong with that
Solid. Not perfect but I do enjoy them.
It’s fugly but it’s one of 3 jerseys I’m missing so I always keep an eye out for it
I’m totally biased but my first Ducks jersey was this design and I think it’s one of the most underrated designs the team ever had.
I wasnt really a fan of those. Felt like something you would see present day at Kohls. Or back in the day at Mervyns.
My favorite jerseys in team history.
Not a fan of them
