Ducks’ Retro Jersey: The Mind of a Jersey Nerd

This season the Anaheim Ducks are celebrating 20 years in existence. This would have been their 20^th season if not for the 2004-05 locked out year. Many events and promotions are scheduled for the season, however the main event of the year (at least for a jersey nerd like myself) was held on Sunday.
