Detroit was granted an expansion franchise in 1926. In the same year, Frank and Lester Patrick, the owners of the Western Hockey League (yes, the owned the WHOLE LEAGUE) folded their operation and agreed to sell their players to the NHL. The new Detroit team purchased the players of the WHL Victoria Cougars and adopted their nickname in honor of the folded franchise. Their red and white striped jersey is still worn by the Wings on special occasions (e.g. Winter Classic). In 1930 the team was renamed the Detroit Falcons. In 1932, the team was bought by James Norris, who had played for the Montreal HC "Winged Wheelers" around the turn of the century. Norris adapted the logo of his old team into the now familiar red winged wheel and changed the team's name to the Detroit Red Wings.
