Kiloh + Co. is a female-owned clothing company founded in 2017, specializing in fashionable game day wear for women. Amanda Adamcheck, the founder and owner of Kiloh + Co., was a Detroit Tigers season-ticket holder and wanted simple and chic local clothing items to wear to the games; so she created them.
When the Red Wings host the Arizona Coyotes for their Women in Hockey and Women’s History Night game on March 14, fans can purchase a special ticket package which will include a game ticket, a limited-edition Kiloh + Co. Red Wings hat, a drink ticket and early access to Little Caesars Arena for the exclusive Kiloh + Co. sip and shop pop-up that night.
The sip and shop pop-up will be available by the Via bar on the street-level concourse. From 4:30-5:30 p.m., special ticket package purchasers will have early access to the venue. Aside from the hat, there are five items in the exclusive clothing line, and the vintage crew is cut, sewn and embroidered right in Detroit.
Following the 4:30 p.m. early access window for Kiloh + Co. ticket package purchasers, all fans who enter the arena that night will have access to the pop-up once doors open to the public at 5:30 p.m. Puck drop is slated for 7 p.m.
The partnership between the Red Wings and Kiloh & Co. is the second in the “local designer series” taking place throughout the rest of the 2023-24 season. Details on future artist collaborations will be provided later.
“We’re proud to lead initiatives that extend beyond the rink,” said Amanda Dennis, Red Wings Vice President of Ticket Sales & Service. “Teaming up with Kiloh + Co. presents an exceptional opportunity for collaboration, where a local, woman-owned business curates apparel with a distinct focus on the preferences of our dedicated female fans. Integrating premium-quality apparel into our ticket offerings elevates the overall fan experience while championing local talent and entrepreneurship.”
The collaboration with the Red Wings hits home for Adamcheck, who’s been a fan of her hometown team her entire life.
“This is a dream collaboration for Kiloh + Co.,” Adamcheck said. “As a woman-owned brand, we’re super grateful and honored to be a part of celebrating Women’s History Month. I found a need for women’s apparel in the sports world, and that’s how we got our start seven years ago. I grew up in a hockey-loving family as well, so this collaboration is extra special to me, and we can’t wait to get it out there!”

Bringing in one of the most respected and enjoyable broadcasters in sports as the team’s lead television voice, Jason Benetti joins the Bally Sports Detroit broadcast for his first year of calling Tigers baseball.

Taking on analyst duties for about half the radio games in 2024 will be Detroit native and former University of Michigan baseball captain, Bobby Scales – who had a successful first season in the broadcast booth last year. Balancing his work in the television booth to also call games on radio will be Craig Monroe, while Andy Dirks will serve as radio analyst for about half the Tigers home games.
Broadcast reporter Daniella Bruce will return to the Tigers radio broadcast for the 2024 campaign, also balancing her current responsibilities with Detroit Red Wings broadcasts.
In 2024, the Tigers and Audacy will increase the number of games broadcast in Spanish to 45, up from 22 games a year ago. All home weekend series this season will have a Spanish audio feed, which will be streamed directly to the Audacy App – free to access throughout the state of Michigan. The feed will also be available worldwide on the MLB App (via subscription) and as an SAP option on weekend Bally Sports Detroit telecasts from Comerica Park.
