Je sais que le nom de l’équipe Redwings fait référence à quelque chose lié à l’automobile et à l’industrie, mais je voulais m’amuser et j’ai recherché des oiseaux à ailes rouges/rouges originaires du Michigan. Selon vous, à lequel les Redwings de Détroit devraient-ils se référer ? (1) cardinal (2) oiseau noir à ailes rouges (3) tangara écarlate. Y en a-t-il d’autres ?

The seams like a slow offseason topic.
This is cool af just to see some birds. I’m goin with 3
Red Shouldered Hawks are native to MI as well.
No idea but I vote number 2. He doesn’t live in the UK (actually one of them do) but he looks like the best stick handler and skater.
The one that looks like a car tire
It actually refers to a cycling/multi-sport club in Montreal that James Norris was a part of. The logo itself was modified a bit to look more like a car tire than a bicycle tire.
Wait a minute, that last guy has black wings!
2 – red wing blackbird.

Definitely not the red-winged black bird, because those tend to show up in March
The name actually comes from the Montreal Winged Wheelers. Their logo was a bike tire with wings. James Norris played senior aaa with them. When he bought the Detroit Falcons he changed the name to the Red Wings because they wore red, and replaced the bike tire with a car tire.
My vote is for cardinal
Im partial to Red Wing blackbirds and we have them here in Manitoba 🙂
Tit mouse
2 is cool but 3 for the irony
Not much love for the cardinal so far. That’s my choice. They stick around in winter and can be a nice bright spot on some dreary winter days. They also have a nice little chirp which also applies to hockey.
I think Sandhill Crane
It’s the Red Crossbill or the Pine Grosbeak for me!
To my knowledge, « Red Wings » is actually an homage to their previous team name the « Red Falcons ». The logo was inspired by the auto industry and the original club hockey team out of Montreal who were known as the « Winged Wheelers. »
Man, I never expected to have a viscerally negative reaction to something like this but here we are lol
Well, cardinals are pretty much everywhere and the last bird doesn’t have red wings. But I’m not an expert in bird law, so take it with a grain of salt.
Need an albino red winged black bird and that’s it
Definitely not a cardinal.
Definitely after the red tailed hawk or red shoulder hawk.
I like the one in the one in the away jersey
Which ever one gets bullied on the boards doesn’t protect the nest and GMother gives them weak ass play errr food to survive
Is there a shit bird? Because I’d pick the bird that shits everywhere. On your face. And you keep coming back to have it shit on your face again. And then you tell your friends you’re over this bird but then behind closed doors you get on all fours. Bend over. And have the bird shit on you again. And again. And again.
Shit birds.
People yapping that it’s actually for the winged wheel… that’s not the point stupid pick a bird! We know it’s a wheel but birds are cool, the post says “should” not “does” I’m convinced half of yall are so dumb
