Hi @madsynn
You can format the date value into any format you with thanks to the great PHP date / time functions.
I have written up some code here:
http://www.advancedcustomfields.com/resources/field-types/date-picker/
And have extended it a little bit for you below:
All you need to do is change the format_out and you can do that by finding the format string here:
http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.date.php
<?php
/*
* Create PHP DateTime object from Date Piker Value
* this example expects the value to be saved in the format: yymmdd (JS) = Ymd (PHP)
*/
$format_in = 'Ymd'; // the format your value is saved in (set in the field options)
$format_out = 'd-m-Y'; // the format you want to end up with
$date = DateTime::createFromFormat($format_in, get_field('date_picker'));
echo $date->format( $format_out );
?>

ACF wouldn’t be so widely used in WordPress if it didn’t have some pretty amazing capabilities. In this article, we look at a few of the features we’ll discuss during “7 things you didn’t know you could do with ACF” at #WPEDecode later this month. https://t.co/5lnsTxp81j pic.twitter.com/Yf0ThPG1QG
