The Chicago Blackhawks' logo change is the subject of a major report
Anaheim Ducks embrace nostalgia with a logo makeover ahead of fanatics era.
As the Adidas partnership with the NHL draws to a close, the Anaheim Ducks are seizing the moment for a dramatic brand transformation. Set to reintroduce the beloved « Mighty Duck» logo, this shift marks a significant departure from their current « flipper » emblem.
This nostalgic change aligns with the upcoming Fanatics takeover and signals a broader trend across the league as teams revisit and revamp their visual identities.
The Ducks announced that the full reveal of the new logo is eagerly awaited on June 28th, stirring excitement among fans who hold the « Mighty Duck » era close to their hearts. This move isn't just a change of a logo; it's a revival of an era, evoking memories of past glories and fan favorites.
Following the Ducks' lead, the Chicago Blackhawks are also reportedly considering a change. This comes as sports teams are increasingly evaluating their brand identities in light of changing societal values and fan expectations.
In 2020, the sports world saw a significant rebrand when Dan Snyder's Washington Redskins became the Washington Commanders, after a temporary stint as the Washington Football Club. The Commanders' rebrand was deeply influenced by their geographical and cultural context, incorporating a military theme that resonates with their proximity to numerous government entities.
The Blackhawks might take a similar path, modernizing their logo while retaining the iconic colors that have defined their identity for decades. The possibility of updating their branding, while keeping the essence of the team's heritage intact, suggests a thoughtful balance between tradition and progress.

With these changes, they aim to connect more deeply with a fan base that is increasingly looking for brands that reflect both their regional pride and contemporary values.
