People whining that the Wing's did this need to get a grip with themselves. Wah, who really cares about this? Will their be a crest of it on their jersey? No. So who really cares? They can make some extra money and we, as fans, can pray they KEEP costs of everything at the Joe the same for once. For all this organization has done to our lives, quit the *****in.
Ah, since Ilitch has managed to build a great organization over the past 30 yrs --- and never had a presenting sponsor before --- now that Wilson has brought this blight on hockeytown, we're just supposed to be happy about it? Yeah, right, Z40.
The ONLY reason this name isn't going to be on the Jerseys is because NHL rules don't allow it. If it were up to Wilson, I'm sure the Wings jerseys would be completely plastered by now.
You also ignore the point that a heck of a lot of people are not comfortable with the choice of sponsor. Maybe you don't care, but this is a business that is all about public perception. This helps Amway. This drags down the Wings brand--- in my opinion.
Keep costs down? Hahahaha
Exactly. Lower bowel seats are pricing out at $125-135 (quick check I just did). A couple years ago, these were $76, and held at that level from 2002-2008 or 09. Welcome to Wilson's World.
