You remember these, right? About 5 years ago DIRECTV started selling custom remotes with NFL logos at a premium price. They stopped making them, and it's probably because they just weren't selling that well.
Luckily, you can make your own team-colored remotes easily and all you'll need is a remote, a precision screwdriver or two, and some spray paint. When you get a DIRECTV remote from Solid Signal, it's all yours -- do whatever you want to it. So we decided that one of our older remotes would literally "take one for the team" and we would transform it into a Red Wings remote.
This works best with the older style DIRECTV remotes - we found out the hard way that the Genie remotes don't come apart terribly easily and once they're apart you really can't put them back together.
Originally we were going to transform it into a Tigers remote but, as it turns out, we didn't have any spray paint around the lab that was the right color blue. We had plenty of red though, so there you go!
