'Fight Teeth' takes center stage in the Anaheim Ducks’ latest tongue-in-cheek campaign, 'You’re Entering Orange Country.' In a nostalgic parody ad that riffs on ‘80s toy commercials, the Ducks offer fans a hilariously grim collectible -- teeth from their opponents, 'swept up from Honda Center ice and straight into your collection.'
The 30-second spot, created by agency Battery, features kids gleefully singing along while Ducks players throw punches in on-ice slugfests. It’s an unexpected blend of humor and hockey grit, designed to embody the team’s fierce spirit and proud defense of their home ice.
As part of the broader Orange Country campaign, Fight Teeth playfully builds the Ducks’ identity with creative assets, including 'Quackback' ads, social media quips, and radio spots celebrating passionate fans as the '7th man.' With its sharp humor and bold storytelling, the campaign rallies fans, proving that in Orange Country, every game packs a punch
