bonan78 1 Report post Posted April 1, 2009 I Love It. “It’s our 18th straight trip to the Stanley Cup Playoffs … Here we grow again!†~Steve Violetta, Red Wings Senior Vice President of Business Affairs I actually started my playoff beard last month, so it's gonna be gnarly come June. Go Wings Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nicholonio 9 Report post Posted April 1, 2009 It's alright, but I think the slogan is really stupid. We could've cam up with something better. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
55fan 5,133 Report post Posted April 1, 2009 I liked "Gimme that Cup!" So are the guys going to do a thread with their beards, and do we gals get to do a bracelet thread again this year? That was fun last year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

puckloo39 5,686 Report post Posted April 1, 2009 (edited) Also what I thought of immediately. This slogan confuses me! (Ah the irony) And me, but I thought of something even more derogatory. May I join you in your confusion? The Wings advert staff has apparently forgotten that a significant number of Red Wings fans -- with money -- are not able to grow facial hair. And not all of them are female. edit: I want to see Filppula grow anything even resembling a beard. Edited April 1, 2009 by puckloo39 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hockeytown_Ryan 119 Report post Posted April 1, 2009 As tradition goes.....I always grow a playoff beard. Have for the last 10 years. But this slogan is not the greatest...... I can just see the Octopus at JLA with a beard the spirit of detroit, Oh man the humanity Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PenaltyShot 96 521 Report post Posted April 1, 2009 (edited) IMO the worst part of that article was "here we grow again" The possibilities for quality, humorous marketing is there, if they choose to use it. I'd like to see a little better effort than a playoffs patch sprouting facial hair... Don't they realize Draper or Hank should be the "face" of this campaign?

Over here in the confusion corner we have baked goods, booze and all of last years good playoff games in HD. It's a good time. (I also thought of the very derogatory one, could we get a playoff slogan without some weird innuendo one of these years?) They were handing out strap-on beards today! So look for that in the Playoffs!! PenaltyShot, you better be sporting one of those! lmao So they want a bunch of bearded ladies at the games? I'm SO confused!
