Thank god. This will also open the door for the new rink to be called "Little Ceasers Pizza Pavilion" haha 2 puckloo39 and Hockeymom1960 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sleepwalker 512 Report post Posted September 24, 2013 As bad as it was to have the amway pyramid scheme associated with the Wings, I always like to remind people that it could have been worse. Just look at who the Blues' sponsor is... Yikes! 1 TheXym reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Evil pyramid scheme is much better than Monsanto, a company which, imho, personifies evil incarnate. 1 jollymania reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Crymson Report post Posted September 24, 2013 Excellent. Now, if we can get rid of the DTE Energy sponsorship as well, then we'll really be golden.

frankgrimes 1,836 Report post Posted September 25, 2013 Nice, very nice can't stand sponsor especially those who are built through questionable pyramid schemes. sent from a mobile device autocorrections errors are possible! 1 puckloo39 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Crymson Report post Posted September 25, 2013 Whats wrong with DTE? "THIS GOAL IS BROUGHT TO YOU BY DEE TEE EEEEE ENERGY!" I really don't like hearing that while the goal horn is blowing and the crowd is roaring. It really kills the high. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It really kills the high. It'd be cool if Datsyuk sponsored the Wings for a game, just so when Zetterberg scores, we'll all hear "Zetterberg scores!!! THIS GOAL IS BROUGHT TO YOU BY PAVEL DATSYUK. BECAUSE EVEN WHEN HE DOESN'T SCORE... HE SCORES." 3 rooter2309, Hockeymom1960 and 55fan reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No. When Z scores you will just hear "Haaaaaaank" "THIS GOAL IS BROUGHT TO YOU BY DEE TEE EEEEE ENERGY!" I really don't like hearing that while the goal horn is blowing and the crowd is roaring.

Kira 451 Report post Posted September 25, 2013 Thank the powers that be we don't have to put up with Scamway anymore. And someone asked what's wrong with DTE...well, other than my sister and brother-in-law both work for them, they fall under the Ernestine school of thinking (for those of you too young to remember Lily Tomlin, Ernestine the telephone operator was one of her characters)..."we may be the only (insert your own greedy) company in town, but we screw everybody."

GoWings1905 2,694 Report post Posted September 25, 2013 The DTE goal nonsense is the worst. Put your logo near center ice and be happy. No one needs to hear a sponsorship during a goal celebration. 1 Hockeymom1960 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hockeytown0001 7,652 Report post Posted September 25, 2013 Good. Now hopefully the scoreboard will also follow suit so that the Red Wings logos at the corners won't be covered up and will look like this once again. 2 LidstromIsASuperhero and nmuwildcat reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Matt 1,048 Report post Posted September 25, 2013 Kroger looks like the major sponsor now, if memory serves, as they're mark is all over the huge banners that are above the jumbotron at the Joe. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nmuwildcat 9 Report post Posted September 25, 2013 Good. Now hopefully the scoreboard will also follow suit so that the Red Wings logos at the corners won't be covered up and will look like this once again. Kroger is all over the large banners above the scoreboard covering the speakers. The corners of the scoreboard have the Wings logo on a white background. Have photos from this past weekend, but don't have them saved on the web. Amway wasn't spotted anywhere. Except maybe on the patches sewn on the practice jerseys that Hockeytown Authentics were selling. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
