Detroit Red Wings’ forward switches to sweater number which has never been worn

As I was browsing Twitter this morning I came across a little tid bit that Detroit Red Wings’ fans may find interesting.

That tid bit is that Red Wings forward Taro Hirose has switched his jersey number from 53 to 67.

What makes this interesting is that no player in Red Wings’ history has ever donned the number 67 on his sweater.

So, if you want to own a truly unique Red Wings sweater, Hirose No. 67 may be the way to go.
