In 1932 James Norris purchased the Detroit Falcons (earlier named the Cougars after the folded WHL team whose players stocked the roster of the original Detroit team in 1927). Norris changed the team's logo to resemble that of the club he had played for (and won the Stanley Cup with) around the turn of the century, Montreal HC "Winged Wheelers". At the same time he renamed the team after his newly created logo, which closely resembles the current Red Wings logo.
