I know its a little late, but is there any way I could get you guys to make a fark of maybe a wings jersey all tattered and what not being eaten by a shark, or even come up with an original idea. My buddy has been away from work for a while and is an obnoxious wings fan, so I HAVE to give him hell.

Many thanks in advance!!

You do realize that based on history and tradition, Wings Fans have a right to be obnozious? I mean, if it works for the New York Yankees, why not the Wings?

Nice series by the Sharks, but the Wings have been there before and will be there again.

I don't have time to come up with a totally new design. Here is a shark with the san jose color scheme. It's Mike Ray's original work. I just colored it.

Yeah, but they didn't do it THIS year, the only one that matters right now. Thus the request.

Riggghhhtttt.... perhaps you can win atleast half as many championships as the leader in your league before you start comparing to a dominating team. Irrelevant in merchandise sales. Not in the top 3 in terms of franchise value... you might want to stick with Oakland A comparisons.

The only two teams to win more than Detroit is Toronto and Montreal (both pretty irrelavant these days.... I know, Montreal is in the playoffs right now with no chance of advancing, Toronto last won in the 60's I believe).

You will always see more Red Wings gear than Toronto and Montreal (like you see with the Yankees thus the comparison).

When the Red Wings come to any arena, ticket sales increase because it's the Red Wings (sort of like the Yankees). I stand by my comparison. Mike Illitch spends money on hockey, they will be back again soon (they do make the playoffs pretty much every year)

Yes so Detroit is third... just like Oakland. Yankees = Montreal is much much closer (and I detest Montreal)

Bullcrap... and NHL merchandise sales data tells us that.

Delusion.

Wow... I now see that messing with Wings fans is pointless... Can't support a point they try to make, much less put together a meaningful coherent thought. Note to self I guess...

Here's something meaningful and coherent:



When San Jose can remotely show itself as a consistant winner - get back to us
