Thanks to Matt McElroy for his help in re-creating the logo!

The white sash design behind the logo follows a report from SportsLogos.net earlier this month. The description was vague and the site's interpretation was far from accurate, but at least shows the source was on the right track.

I received a similar report in July about the sash design from a source, who added that Red Wings owner Mike Ilitch turned down a logo that was "more traditional." I have to admit I'm excited to see a modern look for the Wings — even if only for one game.
