The Detroit Red Wings organization has unveiled their official uniform ahead of the Centennial season.
The 2025-26 season, marking 100 years of hockey in Detroit, is on the horizon. The team entered the NHL in 1926 as the Cougars, then the Falcons, before becoming the Red Wings in 1932.
The Original Six franchise has deep roots in Detroit, making the Centennial celebrations very important for the ownership and the fanbase as well.
Ahead of that crucial year, the organization revealed the special uniforms players will wear in the season.

The uniform was designed by the NHL's official jersey supplier, Fanatics, with the main goal being to honor the iconic team.
The look draws inspiration from every chapter of the franchise's history.
The "Cougar D" logo, originally worn in the late 1920s, returns as a secondary mark, while the number font is modeled after the Cougars' classic "Barber Pole" jerseys.
The Red Wings also paid tribute to their Falcons era, adopting patterns from the 1930-1932 uniforms and using vintage colors.
President and CEO of Ilitch Sports + Entertainment, Ryan Gustafson, shared comments in an official press release:
"Red Wings fans have long embraced the Winged Wheel, and we wanted our Centennial uniform to commemorate its legacy. This design honors the traditions that make Red Wings hockey truly distinctive, while incorporating meaningful details to celebrate this remarkable milestone in a way that stays authentic to Detroit.
It recognizes the outstanding players, the defining moments and above all, the devoted fans who have shaped us into who we are today. We believe this uniform will serve as a powerful reminder of our history, while inspiring anticipation for the memorable moments yet to come."
