Answer 4

The winged wheel logo was actually borrowed from a cycling club in Montreal. Here's how it happened.

Detroit was awarded an NHL franchise in 1926, and the owners stocked their team by purchasing the roster of the Victoria Cougars of the Western Hockey League. The team was known as the Detroit Cougars for a couple of years, then the Falcons. They did not win often under either name.

In 1932, a millionaire named James Norris bought the team. Here's the rest of the story, as told by Bob Duff in his Detroit Red Wings article in Total Hockey: The Official Encyclopedia of the National Hockey League:

"Norris had been a member of the Montreal Amateur Athletic Association, a sporting club with cycling roots. The MAAA's teams were known by their club emblem and these Winged Wheelers were the first winners of the Stanley Cup in 1893. Norris decided that a version of their logo was perfect for a team playing in the Motor City and on October 5, 1932 the club was renamed the Red Wings."

Coincidence or not, the new name and logo marked a turnaround in the team's fortunes. The Detroit Red Wings made the playoffs in their first season, and won their first Stanley Cup in 1936. and thats why

Answer 5

because Detroit is motor city

Answer 6

Ronny H lies, the way you can tell he is lying is by him saying that there was EVER a millionaire in Detroit.

The real reason is because back, in the early days of the Satanic creation of the most disgustingly foul team ever created's inception, the Red Wings, they held a contest.  The contest took a bunch of homeless drug users and forced them into a competition to design a logo for the Red Wings.  The losers would be sold as hot dogs in Olympia Stadium, the winner of the competition would not be turned into hot dogs.

Well there were 30 contestants in all and they all worked day and night for over a month to come up with a logo.  The logos ranged from Satanic symbols to the mad scribblings of the desperate.  Finally on the last day, the 36'th day of the competition, a homeless and very high and delirious drug addict came up with the design that would win.  A Wheel with Wings (I mean come on, only some doped out druggy could come up with that).

Well the cruel owners of the Red Wings kept their word, the homeless man was not made into hot dogs.  Instead he was sacrificed in a dark ceremony to consecrate the evil of the symbol he created.

That is the true story that has been passed down and protected from the dark ones.

Answer 7

Just a logo.
