Thanks search hatland.com for Red Wings hats, they have it there. I just ordered one a couple days ago, they look ******* sweet. BTW, the gothic D is from the Detroit Cougars years back in the 30s, although it does have a striking similarity to the Tigers' D.

Yzermania 156 Report post Posted June 6, 2008 There's nothing Red Wings-y about the first hat tho except that many players on the team wear it/have worn it throughout the season...oh and the whole red and white thing and saying detroit on the back, granted it's really a tigers hat though.

Must Kill 0 Report post Posted June 6, 2008 i do like that second hat with the wing wheel on the back Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MississippiWing 14 Report post Posted June 6, 2008 (edited) Actually both were the Detroit Cougars logos starting in 1925/26. The Gothic is just an alternate version of it. That being said though, the Gothic one was never used by the Tigers. The Old English version they started using way back in like 1910 Original Cougars Logo Alternate Cougars Logo That being said I prefer the Gothic one with the Winged Wheel on the back. No confusion for colorblind folks as to who you're representing. Edited June 6, 2008 by MississippiWing Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That's my thought on it. I've never seen the old english D cap before, but it seems a little strange using was is essentially the Tigers logo for the Wings, even with the players wearing it. 'Detroit' dosen't quite present the same affiliation as having the winged wheel somewhere on there would. Edited June 6, 2008 by Cern Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I got mine at the confrence finals, game 2. I went through all the hats looking for one that had "DETROIT" on the back. I wonder if the ones the Wings wear is custom?

HockeyJunkie 0 Report post Posted June 14, 2008 I've got the Redwings 'GOTHIC-D FACE OFF' Red Fitted Hat with the winged wheel on the back and love it. I wear it practically everywhere and have never seen anyone else with it (but I live in Virginia) I also wore it to the SCF, game one at JLA - of course, that's why the Wings won!

Cern 0 Report post Posted June 14, 2008 The second (gothic) one is also at fox sports web site. It's sold out there. After many hours of searching back at the start of the SCF I have to conclude that hatland.com is the only place where they're actually in stock. This hat was a ***** to find but it's so worth it.

I bought my hat at Commerica Park at the start of the 07 season and it has Detroit on the back. They are so popular so I'm not sure why they switched them or stopped selling them.

Thanks Lids Red/White Tigers hat Lids Red/White with black outline Tigers hat Their Images of red hats seem to come up brighter than usual for me but I have the second hat and assure you it is a Red Wings red and not some neon red. These come from a line of hats where they did the Old English D the Tigers use with other baseball teams color themes. I figure it went good with my Wings Jersey so I snagged a red Tigers hat.
