"These were based on the three movie jerseys, so I had to do some research into the jerseys, number, and name fonts," Athletic Knit's Jeff Tasca, who designed the jerseys, told Paul Caputo of SportsLogos.net. "Since there were a lot of jersey knock-off images out there I looked at a lot of movie screen captures and official movie prop images to get the numbers as right as I could."
ABC Signature Studios is reportedly working on a television series based on "The Mighty Ducks" franchise, which could be shopped to cable networks and streaming platforms later this year.
