A2Y- What Do You Think?

04/01/2023 at 11:02am EDT

A KK/A2Y member emailed me this morning with some information on a new logo the Wings plan to use next season.

This is not an alternate logo, instead it will replace the current logo from sweaters to marketing material.

One thing to note is the very center of the wheel hub in the new logo will flash quickly after the Wings score a goal.

I am more of an old-school type of fan and resist change, but what do I know. Kind of a step in my opinion to attract fans who are just getting into the game.

What do you think?

The blinking of the center of the logo will be controlled by a chip, the size of a pin head embedded in the sweater.

Just as corny as the Fox glowing puck. The NHL is losing me more every year.

Typical Gary. Ticky tack gimmicks around the margins that nobody asked for, while ignoring the reason people are turning away from sports: The ridiculous amount of advertising they shoehorn into every possible cranny they can. Baseball is trying a bunch of stupid gimmicks, too, and that's going to sink the sport entirely.

Deal with your shit, NHL.

Mickey Mouse. Stick with tradition

Stick with tradition. Let Arizona run the gimmick shit

What do I think, Paul? I think it's April 1st. :-)

Finally.  Any longer and I was going to expect an email from the Wings.

I believe you are right. Paul snookered me, lol!

That was a good one. I was going to say, your source is full of crap. No way the wings would do that!

I'm afraid you've given this idea to another club though. Vegas, I'm thinking of you.

I had already fallen victim when my daughter woke up before the sun today. But you rounded up a few yourself, kudos!

What movie or show is this from? Hilarious 

bivdamndogrevenge

Yep, Letterkenny. Hulu in the States. If you dont have Hulu, I might be able to get a link to you.


theres a spin off, Shoresy also on Hulu. But you kinda need to get through letterkenny first to grasp all of it.

damndogrevengebiv

No Hulu here. I will look them up on YouTube

Thank you

Good un Paul. With all the technology babbling the league is peddling, it wouldnt surprise me at all. 

Steeb

Nice one, Paul. It's a sorry state of the league, tho, when this seems plausible. 

rwbill

You are a sick man.

I believed because it is so gimmicky it fit.  I believe MLB will in the near future draw 20 foot diameter circles in which infielders will only be allowed to field a batted ball.  This after caving and banning the shift because its just too damn difficult to hit to the opposite field when youre trying to jack 420 foot HRs.  I hate Major League Baseball, Incorporated,  and the NHL is not far behind, both out of touch with fans.
