I think their main logo update completely sucks. It looks so much more cartoonish and wussy than the current one. That shoulder mark looks sweet though, a great update of the horrible original logo. I really hope the jerseys look nothing like these though, after the current alternates these are extremely bland.

Why the hell is the C on the right side? That's just messed up. What the hell is the reasoning behind that?

I mean i know they used to have it like that back in the day, but it just doesn't look right. I'm all for retro, i think retro is awesome for the NHL as some of the reto stuff is 1000x better than the crap that we've all been used to the past few years. But the C & A on the right side just looks weird to me, i mean if a team like buffalo is going to use #'s on the right side, are they now flipping it to the left or keeping the C on the left?

Damn it.

The C switched sides because there's not enough room on the other side above the tip of the wing but below the seam that cuts across there. Detroit will be the only team doing that.

The way the Wings tell the story of the design process, it sounds like they had only veto rights, which they repeatedly used until they got what they wanted. Sounds like RBK tried to make changes but the Wings said no to them until the design was what we see above. So for those looking for people to blame, I say it's the teams' fault for not vetoing further and RBK's fault for awful ideas in the first place.

If the Wings used to have it in that position, and they'll be the only team in the league putting it there, then I'm fine with this. It'll make Detroit all the more classy and distinctive when facing off against some of the other piping crap-piles taking the ice this year.

However, who the hell at RBK designed a hockey jersey without for a moment thinking "Well, it'll need room for the captain's letter?"

For all the bird de lis haters I think the bird de lis isnt supposed to be a pelican and a fleur de lis I think its just a fleur de lis with a pelicans head. Thats what it looks like to me. Also the flair around the tip of the beak is just flair that fleur de lis have sometimes source I am from NOLA.

Good point. As well as you can blame both sides. RBK for thinking of this idea. Some teams including Detroit's, I think cannot be touched. You would think RBK's last thing on their mind would be " where can we put the C ?". On the other hand you can blame the Team Owner(s) for no re-voting something else, since they refused.

Its not bad since they are going back in history and going back to use the other side. ( To use the C, and A. ) But they are probably just doing that because the mesh is in the way lol.

They better not touch the Habs.

Red Wing update:

Notice the position of the C

AHHHHH!

I don't like it at all!

See, I think that's excellent. It wasn't a move made on purpose due to the Edge design, but it managed to "retro" the jersey up just a little bit more.

ie.

Really? I get the point of this board, but I think given the constraints of the template, the Red Wings really did a great job here of maintaining tradition. Consternation over the place of the "C" seems a bit much.
