As a lifelong fan of the Detroit Red Wings, I have always admired the iconic jersey that our team proudly wears. It represents not just a sports team, but also our city's history, resilience and spirit. However, the recent addition of the Priority Waste patch on this beloved jersey has tarnished its image.

Priority Waste is a waste management company that has sponsored our team. While sponsorships are common in sports and can bring much-needed funds to teams, they should not compromise the integrity or aesthetics of something as symbolic as our jersey.

The Red Wings' jersey is considered one of the best in sports for its simplicity and elegance. The Hockey News ranked it 3rd out of 30 NHL jerseys in 2020 (source: The Hockey News). This ranking reflects how highly regarded it is by fans and experts alike.

By removing this patch, we can restore the dignity and respect that this emblematic jersey deserves while still acknowledging corporate sponsors in other ways. Let's keep our traditions alive without compromising them for commercial interests.

Please sign this petition to urge Detroit Red Wings management to remove the Priority Waste patch from their jerseys.
