Detroit Tsetse-Flies... very intimidating...

Ha ha! Don't mess with us or... we'll give you malaria!

[cupforwings]

I would like to see a third jersey like the winter classic one... they could even replace the "D" with the winged wheele... that would be pretty cool

[xtrememachine1]

I think the Wings should take down Yzerman's rafter banner and replace it with Lebda's banner.

This post seriously made me spit my drink out of my mouth. lol

[soultrain]

so when will the mods change the name to letsgoseaotters.com?

[Lidstromboli]

i think crosby, lemieux, and pronger need to go in the banner

[Cicada]

no real Red Wings fan would think this on any other day

[GMRwings1983]

Would have worked better to do a "Lidstrom out for the season" April Fools joke.

I'm not looking through all the pages... but am I being April Fooled?

Personally, I think the whole team name needs an overhaul. Maybe something more in the vein of wildlife. Detroit Sea Otters? Detroit Walruses? Aquatic wildlife is all the rage these days in the NHL.

How bout the zebra mussels?

Worst April Fools Joke ever.
Epic Fail!!!!!!

[taxijim]

O.K. .....it's after 12:oo noon so Apr. Fools is officially over. However,there are some people seriously sucked in who DO want a change. When I look at a picture of Gordie Howe in the 50s & a present day one of Zett, the uniforms are basically the same & to me that says pride. I don't want the Wings to be look like the Thrashers or Penguins & come into town dressed like a semi-pro roller derby team!Let the original 6 stay the original 6.

When I saw the name of the thread I thought, "idiot". Then I saw who started it, and I smiled.

[DMAC 25]

thanks for the topic, i got some humor out of that
if anything they should make the winter classic jerseys the third jersey, the wings have had the same jersey since they began why would they go and change it

[puckloo39]

i think crosby, lemieux, and pronger need to go in the banner

is that Toews in your avatar?

[WingNutt]

wow what a bad idea, April fools or not, do you guys remember when the Pistons changed their whole logo colors and everything to that ugly ass teal black and yellow stuff from the Grant Hill era? with the flaming horse on the front lol ?? it would be almost as bad as that. Thank god they changed back to red white and blue the pistons have the best colors in the NBA with them.

Trying to make us into a Cali team?? Remember the LA Kings Yellow Purple jerseys haha wow, and how about the Lakers same thing ugly ass colors.

[AtomicPunk]

I hate stupid April Fool's s***. Stop it.

And get off my lawn.

Red Wings 3rd Jersey

Has the mandatory gold piping that every other 3rd jersey has, has black for intimidation, the the camo pattern is for the troops.

DONT change the normal jerseys, to much tradition, but I wouldnt mind the winter classic jerseys being our third jerseys

[Jwo]

After all this time, I think the Wings really need to get with the times and update their look.

Perhaps they could add something with black in it for the intimidation factor.

Red is fine and they could keep it as an accent color, but it's gotten old.

I think a black home jersey, change the logo, and maybe a red third jersey just for throwback's sake would be best.

Lose the outdated look and get with the times.

For too long, they've looked like a team from the 1950's.

Old-time used to look good, but this is the 21st century.

Or, they could add a black and silver third jersey to help with merchandise sales.

Long overdue for this, if you ask me.

So, what do you think?

Good April fools joke
