FiddySicks Posted August 7, 2005 Share Posted August 7, 2005 One thing ive always been curious about, do these two have anything to do with each other, maybee something along the lines of the shoe company sponsored the team? Kind of like the pittsburgh steelers use the Steel logo? Ive always wondered that On 11/19/2012 at 7:23 PM, oldschoolvikings said: She’s still half convinced “Chris Creamer” is a porn site.)

DEAD! Posted August 7, 2005 Share Posted August 7, 2005 The hockey team has nothing to do with the shoe company....http://www.detroitredwings.com/history/1930s.jsp I saw, I came, I left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordie Posted August 7, 2005 Share Posted August 7, 2005 From the Red Wings website:In 1932 grain millionaire and shipping magnate James Norris Sr. purchased the team. Norris, like coach and G.M. Jack Adams, was a Canadian turned American. He had once played hockey for the Montreal Amateur Athletic Association's Winged Wheelers.When the two men met, Norris and Adams agreed that the team's new logo would be a winged wheel and the club's nickname changed to the Red Wings.Edit: Quad beat me to it.

DrBear Posted August 7, 2005 Share Posted August 7, 2005 And if I remember, the shoes are made in Red Wing, Minn., which makes it even less likely they'd have anuthing to do with Detroit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IceCap Posted August 7, 2005 Share Posted August 7, 2005 yeah, quad and Gordie are right. the red wing's logo is based on the logo of the first ever stanley cup champions, the montreal winged wheelers.

As you can see, though, they did do some tweaking.If I didn't know better I would say that Kokudo (JPHL) was the first SC winner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
