from the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review,
Athletic equipment maker Reebok and the Penguins asked city officials last week if they could drape banners of Penguins Captain Sidney Crosby and goalie Marc-Andre Fleury on Fifth Avenue Place, Downtown, city officials said.
The temporary promotion would require City Council’s approval, but no one has yet proposed the required legislation even though the Penguins are set to play the first game of the Stanley Cup finals against the Detroit Red Wings on Saturday in Detroit.

Yesm Datsyuk is also endorsed by Reebok, and the stick you are referring to is the “O-Stick.”

Thanks for confirmation, Jeff.
So...when do the Datsyuk/Reebok banners arrive in Detroit?
(not holding my breath waiting):)

Doesn’t Datsyuk have some type of relationship with Reebok too? I may be wrong, but I could swear he and his stick with the holes in it (sorry, I don’t remember the actual name of it) were featured on their site.
I’m sure Kwame would be fine with a few P Datty banners hanging around downtown Detroit. Especially since the Spirit of Detroit statue is unavailable for jersey duty due to refurbishing.
