Cicada 4 Report post Posted July 16, 2007 (edited) as pointed on out Kulkas yesterday: http://www.kuklaskorner.com/index.php/webl...and_sucks_hard/ the Red Wings new marketing slogan sucks beyond control. they started a competion over there to post a new one, which is a cool idea except it'll never replace that terrible banner.. it must have taken literally two minutes to make that. Why do we always have such terrible marketing? people have signatures on this board with better art Edited July 16, 2007 by Cicada Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

IwoCPO 7 Report post Posted July 16, 2007 Ick. Maybe one of us can come up with something better. I don't doubt that we could, actually. I guarantee you can. My five year old drew a picture of a robot on a cardboard box yesterday that made more sense than the "fire on ice" effort. If you come up with one, email me at iwocpo@gmail.com and I'll post it. And, yes, it's a contest. Winner will have their banner displayed the entire season and I'll be forwarding a half-eaten block of cheese as additional reward.

OsGOD 3 Report post Posted July 16, 2007 looks like they are trying to promote their "pink" line of NHL merchandise. I gotta laugh at how Pink the website is now We should be renamed to the Detroit Pink Wings. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest DetroitIan Report post Posted July 16, 2007 It's not THAT bad. Jesus people. What do you expect? It's not that easy to come up with a new slogan every single season. IMO "Fire on Ice" is a hell of alot better than some of the ones we have had in the past. Im not a big fan of this new one, but its not complete s*** or anything.

Legionnaire11 0 Report post Posted July 16, 2007 "Fire On Ice" has so much potential. before I clicked the link, I was already thinking about what a cool marketing slogan it could be for the entire NHL. and then I opened the thread and saw the graphic... eeek. sorry wings fans!

I agree. And Ian, no doubt the slogan itself doesn't suck bad -- it's HEADS above all the playoff marketing for the past few years! But that banner stinks. I feel pretty adamantly that the Wings can get better think-tanks for their playoff advertising, this is even worse than "Join the Red Wave!" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
55fan 5,133 Report post Posted July 16, 2007 It could have been a lot worse. (I realize I'm dating myself on some of these.) For example: "At least we're not the Lions." "We're not mathematicly eliminated yet" (current Lions motto) "Wings: they're not just for breakfast anymore." "Got Wings?" "Wings: So simple a caveman could do them." "Choosy Swedes choose Wings." "Goes down easy." "Red Wings: The other white meat." Doesn't "Fire on Ice" sound a lot better already? PS Don't flame me about the Lions cracks. I've been a fan of thiers for 4 decades and still going strong. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
