This year marks the 25th anniversary for the Anaheim Ducks and they've experienced quite a few makeovers during their existence. From the classic Disney Mighty Ducks logo to the golden duck foot, the team has had various logos on their uniforms since 1993.

Since it's a special year for the franchise, John Gibson decided to get a special mask designed for the upcoming season and it's a perfect mix of the past and present.

To celebrate 25 years of @anaheimducks hockey, John Gibson had a special new mask made by @daveart. As you can see, he did not hold back.

Designed by famous goalie mask artist David Gunnarsson, the mask features a massive old school Anaheim Mighty Ducks logo on the top of the mask and multiple duck foot logos on the side of it. It also includes the team's 25th anniversary logo, as well as his No. 36 around the chin area.

Today we have the pleasure to unleash John Gibson’s latest Ducks mask👊🏻🐤. John knew for sure what he wanted on this bucket. He wanted it to be a tribute to the 25 years anniversary of the Ducks2️⃣5️⃣. We brainstormed and came up with a plan🤔. Big and in focus is the Ducks 25 logo, created in shiny gold colors✨. And all is surrounded by the Ducks colors and the classic Ducks logo on the top created in a cool sketchy style✍🏻❤️. As the true paint nerd I am I just love to go full nerd mode with all the detail work...🤓Thanks John! 🙏🏻 @johngibson36 @anaheimducks @nhl @daveart #DaveArtThePaintNerd #DaveArtTheCradleOfCreativity
