Wings using a new font on the Jersys?

[Z and D for the C 712]

Sorry, it's not the beginning of the season without this thread.

Mere weeks away from the opener, people. :D

[wings_fanatic 677]

lmao yah that gets asked every year!My little brother was watching the game with me and just HAD to ask why the names looked different. At least he is only 10 though; usually its like 20 year olds or plus asking.

[toby91_ca 620]

I guess it's good to get it out of the way early.

[Detroit # 1 Fan 2,204]

Hahaha I was literally like "Oh man not this again" till I saw it was a regular member and then lol'd. Bring on the opener

[NvrFrgtRussian5 85]

hahaha. Every year, every year.

[Aussie_Wing 354]

Yeah man I know, what the heck was with that?? Why would they alter a classic jersey??

[P. Marlowe 748]

Regular season would never start without this question.

[Miss Wing Queen 154]

I'm also waiting for the question of "Did Datsyuk change his number to 24?" even though there is already a post about that too.

[russianswede919293 95]

Until I saw who the OP was my reaction was...oh man it only took one game this year.

[Konnan511 1,736]

I was about to be like "Like clockwork", then I saw it was my fellow Flip Slappy and knew something was up lol.

[Gizmo 21]

Good job... You made me look!

[13dangledangle 968]

Nice op lol I thought it was for real until I saw it was you. Had me fooled for sure.

[Wingnut in WA 86]

LOL i saw this topic and LITERALLY the first thing that popped in my head was " f*** do we have to have this thread every damn preseason" haha good times

[Doc Holliday 1,888]

After seeing who made this thread, my first instinct SHOULD have been to chuckle and go on my merry way.

Instead I was about ready to say "Really? You've followed the team on this forum HOW LONG?!?!"

My cynicism is getting the best of me.

[stevieisthebest 80]

I believe I said out loud "Are you serious... Stupid stupid people" Then I saw who the OP was.

[ogreslayer 1,069]

Well I oughta :flamingmad: Oh, I see what you did there.

[stevkrause 1,247]

I'm just glad this thread was started in jest this year... I was just waiting for it, haha

[55fan 5,133]

No, guys, seriously. The writing on the jerseys looks different than it did during the last games I saw.

In other news, has anyone heard that Zdeno Chara is tall?

[Vladiator 116]

LMAO....Easier to get that out of the way even after the first game of the pre season. I think somebody actually posted that question in the 9/21 GDT though.

[Jesusberg 1,256]

Somebody posted this on the video feed I was watching last night. Pretty sure they were a Pittsburgh fan, so I told them it was something the Wings wanted to do to change things up.

[Louisville 112]

You know, the funny part is that even though this was started as a joke, you know there's people who clicked on the thread and still legitimately want know what's the deal with the font.

[R-Dizzle 119]

I did lol pretty loud when I saw the thread.

[Namingway 146]

Lol, you got me. I'll have to give it to you. Now that the obligatory preseason question has been asked, let the real season begin!

[Hockeytown0001 7,652]

Epic facepalm was going to be epic.

[BigWillieStyle 662]

Just trying to keep up with the Chinese knock-offs. Maybe it has something to do with that new sponsor.
