The Red Wings have announced that they'll be celebrating their centennial season with a new jersey look to commemorate 100 years of playing in the NHL.
The Red Wings are gearing up to celebrate their centennial season in the NHL, having been founded in 1926.
To commemorate the special year, the team has unveiled a new celebratory logo and announced that the Red Wings will also debut a new uniform look for this season.
Red Wings Governor and Chief Executive Officer Chris Ilitch released a statement explaining what the new look for this season symbolizes:
Our iconic Winged Wheel represents more than a team - it symbolizes the grit, pride and championship pedigree, which the Red Wings have exemplified for nearly 100 years. Reaching this Centennial milestone creates a unique opportunity to tell the story of our legends, teams and the incredible fans who continue to make Detroit: Hockeytown.
Ryan Gustafson, President and CEO of Ilitch Sports + Entertainment, explained that the Red Wings will also be fan-centered to allow them the chance to relive special moments in the team history.
The vision for Centennial was to create opportunities for fans to relive their favorite moments and celebrate the people that make Red Wings hockey so special. In addition to these events, we are excited to host dozens of alumni at Little Caesars Arena for dedicated games in celebration of the eras that they played in. Today's announcement highlights several core activations for fans to put on their calendars, while more details and further programming will be shared in the coming month.
The Red Wings are now in preparations for the 2025 NHL Entry Draft, which begins Friday.
