Historical Hockey Memorabilia Winter 2012

A gaze up as you made your way into the old Detroit Olympia might have caught sight of this massive red and white nylon Detroit Red Wings banner. At about 10 feet in length by 7 feet high, the size will fill your available wall space! Circa the 1970s, the giant flag is double-sided, with individually-applied lettering proclaiming the team and displaying the winged-wheel logo just above. According to our consignor this banner would have been displayed on the outside of the Stadium on game days along with a banner of the visiting team and would also have been on display inside the arena. A perfect memento from one of the grand old hockey buildings. [red] Addendum; A copy of the 2002 book "Remembering Detroit's Olympia Stadium" by Robert Wimmer will be included. On page 45 and 50 of that book there are photos of the outside of the Olympia showing the banner. A copy of the letter from the author of the book is included which details his research/information on the offered banner.[/red]
