In 1997, the current primary logo of a red-winged wheel encircled by 11 stars debuted during celebrations marking 75 years since the franchise began operations under its new name; this design has become one of hockey’s most iconic logos ever since then, particularly in relation to the Detroit Red Wings Alternate logo. The 11 stars represent each decade that has passed since inception while also symbolizing strength and unity among past, present & future players who wear it proudly on their jerseys every game day!

Today’s version has been tweaked slightly but remains true to form – incorporating elements such as shading around certain parts or adding subtle color variations like white accents along edges – all while maintaining its recognizable shape so fans can quickly identify members belonging to “Hockeytown USA” no matter where they go! In short: there is something special about being able to wear this classic piece of art emblazoned across your chest - which makes wearing (or even just seeing) these colors instantly evoke feelings of pride & camaraderie amongst any diehard fan base worldwide!
