Most random/awkward jersey in your collection?

  1. 31 Curtis Joseph. Loved him when played in Toronto and was stoked when he came to Detroit. It was my first sweater that wasnt a hand-me-down, my parents gifted it to me in the off season for my birthday. Ever since that experience I have only ever bought blank jerseys or players who were no longer with the team.

  2. I got an athanasiou reebok custom made bc he was my favorite player before the store even had his jersey. TBH I don’t regret it and still wear it sometimes but now I have a datsyuk ccm I wear to most games

  3. Not a wings jersey, but back in the day i was a huge tatar fan. When he got traded my buddy got me a las vegas tatar jersey, so now i have a beautiful memento of his 20 game season 😅🤣

  4. I had:

    Brunner
    Vanek
    Alfredsson

    Stripped the first two and changed them to Datsyuk and Lidstrom
    I wear the Alfie one when they play Ottawa lol

  5. I have a Curtis Joseph jersey. Was my favorite player growing up and was so pumped when the Wings got him.

  6. For awhile it was a Franzen jersey, but after learning all the details of what he went thru and I wear it with pride now.

  7. Athanasiou was one of my favorites when he played for the Wings. Really exciting to watch

  8. My brother has a knockoff Yzerman jersey where the arm numbers are correct (#19) but the back number in #91. It’s kind of cool honestly – Yzerman x Fedorov fusion.

  9. Not a Wings jersey but I bought a Torkelson Tigers jersey (from China, thankfully) before this baseball season. I figured there was no way 30 homers and 90 RBI was a fluke. Got to wear it to a Mud Hens game last week and watch him go 0-4 with 2 strikeouts.

  10. My first wings jersey was a home Mikael Samuelsson that I got for Christmas in ’08. He scored the first 2 goals of the finals the season before, had the great OT goal against CHI the next playoffs, but none of that stopped my friends from giving me shit about the jersey lol.

  11. Jonathan Ericsson….. I think I went to the Joe and ran into exactly one other person with one

  12. I have an Athanasiou jersey too. One night I drunk bought it off someone in this subreddit actually lmao

  13. It’s not a Red Wings jersey, but I have an Eric Perrin Atlanta Thrashers jersey. That’s probably the oddest one in my collection.

    Some other odd ones:

    * Jussi Markkanen Edmonton Oilers jersey w/ Stanley Cup final patch.
    * Dalton Thrower Saskatoon Blades alternate jersey w/ Memorial Cup patch.
    * Jonas Arntzen game-worn Team Norway jersey.
    * Quad City Flames jersey.
    * Abbotsford Heat jersey.

    I was very close to buying a Vancouver Canucks Nikita Zadorov jersey, but I’m thankful that didn’t end up happening.

  14. NYI Robin Lehner
    Maybe not the most random to some, but by far the most random I own (I am not an islanders fan, not even from NY, I just like that he talked about mental health)

  15. I have not one, but two Drew Miller Jerseys. Most people think it’s Redmond or Lapointe when they see the 20. One of then is even signed by Micky, other one signed by Miller though.

  16. Not really awkward but the best wings related are:

    * Team North America Larkin
    * Tre Kronor Zetterberg
