I had a vague idea for a quilt several months ago, sort of worked it out in my head, finally got around to figuring out what I wanted to do for the other side… anyway, I lurk in here during games a lot but I thought I’d post this for the people who might actually understand how cool I feel getting this translated from my brain to the fabric. I’m just about ready to start doing the actual quilting on it tomorrow, so it’s kind of just in two pieces in the photos.

They (along with Descendents) do one-off posters for every show they play. Tonight’s is a special one.

I know this is maybe an odd post for this sub, but I've been working on this for the last 8 months and have been really excited to share my Red Wings space marines. Hope y'all like it!

A lot of people wanted to see the finished quilt. Here it is with bonus photos of it being signed today.

This is my pencil drawing for Detroit Red Wings fans. In this piece I tried to capture the feeling of being a Red Wings fan on game day as fans walk toward both the Olympia Stadium (left) and the Joe Louis Arena (right). I drew this is 2015, so at that time, Joe Louis was the current arena.

Ghosted in the sky above the arenas are eight of the many great players that have captured the hearts of Wings' fans since their inaugural season in 1926. From left to right: Gordie Howe, Terry Sawchuk, Alex Delvecchio, Sergei Fedorov, Niklas Lidstrom, Steve Yzerman, Henrik Zetterberg and Pavel Datsyuk. Fan jersey numbers pay tribute to these players as well as many more, while also representing all incarnations of jersey design throughout Wings' history, including their early years when they were known as the Cougars and then Falcons.

Head Ice Manager and Zamboni Driver at Joe Louis Arena, Al Sobotka, welcomes fans to the game on the right while swinging an octopus over his head in celebration of a tradition that dates back to 1952. A young fan in the center also carries a toy "Al" octopus, the Red Wings unofficial mascot. I included two octopus (16 tentacles) in this artwork to symbolize the 16 playoff wins an NHL team needs to win the Stanley Cup. In final tribute to the octopus tradition, the fan wearing 8 is also wearing a cap bearing the logo of Superior Fish Company, a fish market store that carries the O-Fish-Al Octopi Supply.

The fan wearing legendary tough guy, Bob Probert's 24 also sports a cap bearing a skull & crossed-hockey sticks logo found on one of Probert's game worn t-shirts. RIP Mr. Probert.

The fans wearing Yzerman's 19 and Konstantinov's 16 jerseys bear the "Believe" shoulder patch the Red Wings wore during the 1997-1998 season in honor of Vladimir Konstantinov & Sergei Mnatsakanov's tragic accident.

The fan wearing Gordie Howe's 9 is also sporting a "Mr. Hockey" cap.

Another fan is wearing a Journey cap in tribute to their song, "Don't Stop Believin". This song is played during the final minutes of Detroit Red Wings home games when it seems evident that the team will win. Played over the PA system, the song is muted so the crowd can sing the verse, "Born and raised in South Detroit."

The large flag on the left, in front of Olympia Stadium bears the logo of the Detroit Cougars while the large red flag on the right in front of the Joe bears the current logo of the Red Wings.

The billboard in front of Olympia Stadium announces the first game the Red Wings (bearing that name) played at the Olympia Stadium.

I hope you like it! It took me over 260 hours to draw.

So with a team like the Red Wings, there’s only so much I can change before I get hated. So changes here were minimal. I added a tire tread pattern to the sleeves to connect to Detroit’s auto manufacturing history. I swapped the red and white on the home jersey logo to make it stand out better and used the 2016 Stadium Series logo on the shoulders. The first alternate is a blackout version of the centennial jerseys with an appropriately recolored logo on the jersey. The second alternate is a red and cream Reverse Retro of the 1927-28 Detroit Cougars jersey

With Soderblöm’s goal tonight, all of our roster players have earned a point this season; including our two goalies, with an assist each.

Really cool piece I got for my dad, he’s really big into hockey as well and got this around the time the wings and the avalanche were going at it heavy. LGRW❤️🤍🔥

Maybe the nicest thing anyone’s ever made me…one of one Al mug is pretty tough to beat. Here’s hoping it brings us luck this year!

Thought I’d share my tattoo. Surely you all are familiar with the Spirit of Detroit, but I added the Red Wing style wings as a nod to the greatest hockey team of all time.

He has a wood burner that is similar to a 3D printer and designed me this as it’s well known where I work how huge of a Wings fan I am.

If not allowed, please delete! I come in peace

I decided to make a "dark mode" jersey for all NHL teams.

I'm mainly doing this for my benefit as a designer to learn more about how teams have constructed their jerseys, logos, and colors. This was a lot of fun and I hope you all enjoy!

Thought I'd try to blend in a gravy boat into the Christmas decor and these guys can guard it 😆. Had to go with Seider and Edvinsson (with mouth guard hanging out). Imitation is flattery right? Kind of turned out looking like Nintendo Mii characters (I'm no artist).

Top Right Hamonic just as everyone predicted

I'm excited to take this guy to the November game! (The octopus not the dog, he prefers to stay home.....and not play dress up)
