I have always big a big fan of the oldschool Detroit Cougars jerseys. I always felt that their style, along with the current, timeless Red Wings logo could be the ultimate jersey. So I decided to play around with this idea and came up with a jersey who borrows style from the Cougars jerseys, using the Red Wings logo instead. Also, for the away jersey, I borrowed from an older alternate version of their current logo.
I also decided to mess around with a 3rd jersey idea. I figured the Red Wings need to show more appreciation for their fans throwing octopuses on the ice before they play, because who doesn’t love the smell of dead octopus? It started off as kind of a joke, then I borrowed some influence from the Sharks 3rd and I think it came out OK, but still pretty plain.
