This just reinforces my despondency over the commodification of the NHL.<BR/><BR/>Is the Ducks change as bad as the mid-90's Islanders fisherman? No. But it is a bland design, and to some tastes, bland is worse than bad.<BR/><BR/>That said, there are no shortage of lemmings in Kings-land who lap up even even the smallest modification to the uniform, wallets drawn as they approach the Team L.A. store.

I still say Phoenix did a better job "fixing" their jerseys.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
