What are the Detroit Red Wings named after?
My husband says it’s a tire with wings because we’re the Motor City. If this is true, why are they red? If this isn’t true, can someone please explain it to me?
James E. Norris bought the Detroit Falcons (the old team name) in 1932. Norris’ first act was to choose a new name–the Red Wings. Earlier in the century, Norris had played on one of hockey’s early powers, the Montreal HC, nicknamed the “Winged Wheelers.” Because of the team’s location in Detroit, the Motor City, Norris transformed the club’s logo into the first version of the Red Wings logo as it is known today.
