White supremacists were holding a variety of signs, shield and flags at Saturday’s rally in Charlottesville, Virginia – including some donned with a slightly changed Detroit Red Wings logo.
DETROIT -- Detroit sports teams haven’t had a ton of success lately. No team has won a playoff game since the Red Wings defeated the Tampa Bay Lightning in the first round of the 2015-16 NHL ...
The Red Wings condemned the use of their logo during a weekend white nationalist rally in Charlottesville and are exploring possible legal action.
It’s hardly insurmountable, and Derek Lalonde insisted that his Red Wings are still in this thing. Hey, coaches aren’t wired to say anything else.
The logo isn’t exactly the same, mind you, but it’s close enough that the Red Wings are clearly worried the logo they’ve used since the 1932-33 season could be used as a hate symbol.
The Detroit Right Wings (motto: Rust Reforged!) are a Michigan-based group of Identitarians, an anti-immigrant vein of white nationalism that counts Richard Spencer among its proponents.
