That jersey will officially be the one worn by the current Red Wings club, as it was announced by the Original Six franchise today. According to a team release, the angled look is a nod to the Motor City. From the Wings:

The coloration of the uniform is primarily red, with simplified white accents, creating a bold, striking stadium scale visual while staying true to the color identity of the franchise. The crest features a redesigned “D” logo, updated in its design style to connect more directly with the iconic modern day Winged Wheel logo.
 
The single white diagonal stripe across the chest celebrates the iconic stripe of this storied Original Six™ franchise. Its diagonal placement is inspired by modern automotive aesthetics, and is a tribute to the automotive industry that has been a foundation of the city of Detroit.
 
Stadium size numbers on the sleeves and back have been redesigned to better connect with the modern font style of the new “D” crest. The nameplate lettering is arched, as a way of connecting to the design of the team’s current nameplate lettering.

The Wings will also be sporting white gloves when they play the Colorado Avalanche outdoors at Coors Field in Denver on Feb. 27.

On Feb. 25, the two teams will hold an alumni game, as well.
