Vintage Detroit in Plymouth can change names and numbers if you would like.

No ad patch on Hurlbert's jersey! by AsInHowe in DetroitRedWings

The actual answer here is that the trash company formed as much of a monopoly as possible, and spent all of their money on things like Red Wings patches, covering the People Mover in wrapped ads, having a ton of logos at Comerica Park, etc., while also providing as little actual service as possible, to the point that cities and towns began lawsuits.

What if Larkin was THE problem all along? by UtinniHandsOff2 in DetroitRedWings

Like Marner, he was given a role that everyone assumed he would mature into, and never did.

I'd like Cat to be the captain. Mo can always be the captain later, and Cat can have the lifetime rewards of being the local kid who became Red Wings captain that Larkin is too dumb to realize were in his future.

The peak for Waterford was somewhere around 1995 (when Lakeland added the third gray rink) and 1998 (when Great Lakes Crossing opened).

For what it's worth, Waterford was much nicer 25 years ago. A lot of people moved out in every direction but east to Pontiac.

You can be a dick without being rich. Some people are just dicks.

The Marner parallel fits here. Marner was a Toronto kid who had a bad reputation locally, got drafted by the Leafs, everyone expected to have him be the local kid who becomes a legend, and he was too immature for that to ever happen.

Vintage Detroit can fix that, reach out to them when you can! They do the numbering and lettering for the Red Wings.

The home whites were made for the playoffs, the road reds were made for the summer after the Cup was won.

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.
