The Anaheim Ducks introduced the Samueli Academy T-Shirt Design Contest during the 2014-15 season and it was held again this season, tasking design students from the Samueli Academy with a project to create a unique Anaheim Ducks branded St. Patrick's Day t-shirt design. The Samueli Academy is a project-based learning curriculum, therefore the project was created for the students to hone their design skills, work in a group environment as well as make a formal presentation to pitch their designs. Anaheim Ducks staff volunteered for this project and helped guide students and supply insight on the Anaheim Ducks brand. Once the projects were completed, they were presented to their class as well as Anaheim Ducks staff and two winning submissions were chosen by the Anaheim Ducks based on looks that best interpreted the festive holiday assignment.
