Rice 42 Report post Posted August 15, 2007 Freep: The first thing you notice about Nicklas Lidstrom’s new jersey is the “C.†It’s on the right side, instead of the left. The Red Wings wanted to protect the tradition of the Winged Wheel as much as possible with the new streamlined Reebok jerseys all NHL teams are using this season, but that’s one concession they had to make. And it only affects three players, Lidstrom and his two alternate captains. The letters had to be moved because the new jerseys are made of multiple panels, and there wasn’t room for them above the tip of the Winged Wheel on the left side without hitting a seam. And if you look at some old Wings photos, that’s actually been done before, too. OMG FU BETTMAN! Not a big deal. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

al48 1 Report post Posted August 15, 2007 After looking at those pictures, I have to say that any comments about the tips of the wings on the logo being snubbed a bit were false. It looks the same to me. Might just be a replica thing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
