Red Wings Fans Left Disappointed After Apparent New Jersey Leaks

On Tuesday, the Detroit Red Wings were among many teams whose apparent Hometown Remix jerseys leaked via social media. 

The Red Wings have not confirmed the design, so nothing is official until the team posts it. However, some of the sweaters shown in the leaked post have already been spotted, with teams like the Pittsburgh Penguins seen on the ice wearing equipment that matches the colors in the leak.

Fans were quick to voice their displeasure with the proposed Detroit sweater. The jersey appears to be a fairly routine Red Wings design, but with the Winged Wheel moved lower on the front, beneath the word "Hockeytown" in large lettering. 

If the leak is accurate, it would be exciting to finally see Hockeytown appear on a Detroit sweater, but many fans pointed out that the rest of the jersey looks much like the team's usual home sweater.

Some fans criticized the design harshly, saying it felt like a lack of effort went into it, especially while other markets have received radical new looks and exciting throwbacks for their franchises. 

Fans also noted that the Red Wings hit a home run with their Centennial celebration jerseys last season, with some saying they would have preferred to see those brought back before the Hometown Remix news broke.
