When Jersey Designs Go Wrong: "Wild Wing"

When one goes through the history of the Anaheim hockey franchise, there is a lot to cover. Okay, not really, but from the beginnings as a franchise born from a Disney movie to now, it has been a rather interesting journey. And no jersey defines the Disney days better (or worse, depending on your point of view) like the "Wild Wing" jersey. Like the Boston Bruins third jersey that was talked about in an earlier article, the "Wild Wing" jersey was introduced in 1996 in a year that saw six teams introduce such jerseys. And much like their counterparts that year, they were rather forgettable designs.

Now, take a good look at the picture above, and ask yourself if this is what you would want to be wearing if you're a professional hockey player. All that needs to be said about the jersey is the "Wild Wing" mascot that emerges from the sheet of ice. I don't think there needs to be any other words for this amateur effort.
