Half-jokingly, I've always maintained that they went with this change to make it look less embarrassing when Detroit comes to town. Any person who has been to a Wings-Yotes contest out here knows why I say that. I don't mind the set, but it's boring for how much potential the identity has. Especially compared to the previous set, these are very "vanilla". I actually miss the intricacies of their old uniforms, especially the striping (now matter how dated they look).
