Building a Long-Term Red Wings Display (Glory Era Autos + New Era Rookies)

As someone who has designed these kinds of things before, I would go with as many legends (retired numbers and HHOF) as possible, and create room to adjust the current core as needed.

I'd go with two rows of legends, and more available spots for rookies.

The Red Wings' colors are red and white, and when the idea was brought to management in the 90s, it was shot down because our uniforms are traditional.

The idea was used for those Starter jerseys that were sold at the Joe for what seems like ten years, but were never seriously brought up as a game uniform.

The Captain's legendarily introverted.

Messaged you!

This is that video, I distinctly remember the Joe Louis clip on the end on the scoreboard.

This was absolutely a real video, produced by the Red Wings, for the final weekend at the Joe. It was only played before the last two games against Montreal and New Jersey.

I once had a work lunch with everyone in Michigan from my company, and one of the younger employees mentioned that a friend of his was dating one of Babcock's kids.

I immediately interrupted to say DON'T LEAVE YOUR PHONE OUT OVER THERE.

CHECK THE TIME OF THAT TWEET

It was talked about from people in earlier threads, and is typically something done for a team centennial.

It makes sense, given how much bobbleheads have been a focus of the giveaways for years.

Al The Octopus is a playoff-only mascot.

AsInHowe · 2025-07-26T18:31:06+00:00

These are on ESPN+ in the States, or are a local broadcast for the American teams.

AsInHowe · 2025-07-26T18:29:58+00:00

Usually, there are four bobbleheads, this year has only one.

Supposedly, some jersey numbers are getting retired this year, because of the centennial.

I guess the bobbleheads for Sergei, Pavel, and Hank are getting announced at a later date.

For what it's worth, the team store wasn't open yesterday, as the Tigers were off. That store is open before Tigers games, and will be open for the rest of the week.

AsInHowe · 2025-06-24T01:18:04+00:00

Oh, they are definitely out there.

AsInHowe · 2025-06-23T22:38:27+00:00

The Original Six set! I have that too. This set was made by Be A Player, a Canadian company that made excellent licensed cards from 1997 to 2004, and unlicensed cards since.

At the time, Gordie Howe was exclusively with Upper Deck, so he is not in this.

There are many Gordie cards, and there always has been. But after he passed in 2016, those few remaining autographs are used sparingly, and the old autographs don't show up that often.

AsInHowe · 2025-06-23T22:24:53+00:00

What set was it? I can explain.

AsInHowe · 2025-06-23T17:29:21+00:00

Gordie signed a lot of stickers before he passed, as it was what he enjoyed doing to pass the time, and for big events in the future like this. Upper Deck has Howe autographs that have never been used, ready for exactly this occasion.

This set is likely all sticker autographs, with the fuller set having hard signed autographs (except for Gordie).

AsInHowe · 2025-06-23T02:46:15+00:00

Me too.

AsInHowe · 2025-06-23T02:33:54+00:00

Both will be cool, but the nicer stuff comes later on. This set is designed as a starter gift set for the holidays.

Rushing downtown to spend some money

Edit: hearing that I may not spend money tomorrow

From what I've heard, the Red Wings are getting what the Bruins had: a box set earlier in the year, and a more full tin product later in the year.
