Detroit Red Wings Primary Logo

Clash of Logos - NHL Logo Tourney

detroit-red-wings-primary-logo

Owner James Norris chose a winged wheel as the team's logo, a nod to Detroit's growing reputation as the heart of the automobile industry. Norris decided that a version of their logo was perfect for a team playing in the Motor City and on October 5, 1932, when the club was renamed the Red Wings.

With the name Red Wings came a logo that has stood the test of time and represents a perfect fit with the Motor City. The crisp, clean, detailed, yet simple red and white look has only been modified a couple times in team history and not since 1949. The Red Wings now famous logo features a red wheel with a wing attached to it.
