Red Wings' Mike Commodore Considering 64 As Jersey Number

When the Detroit Red Wings signed defenseman Mike Commodore last week, a few people joked on Twitter that fans should campaign for him to wear a No. 64 jersey. The joke behind this is that Commodore's jersey would read "Commodore 64" if he actually chose that number.

For those who don't know, there was a computer back in the 1980s called the Commodore 64. I'm sure it's not the first time Commodore has heard a joke related to the computer, but he has never actually worn the No. 64 jersey before. He is considering it for the Red Wings, though.

As pointed out on Puck Daddy, the Red Wings have never had a player wear a number in the 60s, so Commodore could be the first if he goes with No. 64.
