Detroit Red Wings Primary Logo

detroit-red-wings-primary-logo

Detroit Red Wings

1949 - Present

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.

Red Wings Primary Logo

The Detroit Red Wings have a long and storied history, reflected in their primary logo. The original logo was introduced in 1932 when the team changed its name from the Detroit Cougars to the Red Wings. It featured two red wings with a wheel between them, representing both speed and power. This emblem remained unchanged for over 50 years until 1982 when it was redesigned slightly to include more detail on each wing and an outline of Michigan's Lower Peninsula beneath them.

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!
