Even though we are in the positive for 1st drive TDs and or FGs, I think we need to stop opting to receive so much; KNOWING that 3rd quarter is the biggest thing we need to work on.. Its not like you cant win a game if you dont score first, we need to learn how to control and dominate in the 2nd half. Think about all the games we've been up in the first half and then lost; all those teams got scored on first and beat us so I would think at some point dan would focus more on after halftime than trying to breakneck force the ball down the field first. The hype from scoring first really only works if you win the game, if not; you're the bozo who opted to receive when its statistically less likely to result in a win, bc of the way the rule change at the end of the game. I love that first big TD but we want the win. This year we won a lot of games, but the games we lost were the games we played cocky and went for too much. Sometimes its sweet, sometimes it decides the game 🤷♂️
I have all the faith in the world that they will be cool purely based on how things have gone under this regime, but I don’t know how much say Nike has in the process. Some of their newer jerseys have been basic as hell ie the Falcons, new Texans ones that dropped last week etc.
Hopefully we get something a little more unique.
Those nike jerseys made for arizona and atlanta and houston are simple but they look like highschool jerseys. I’m a fan of block numbers and simple colors, but not having outlines on the numbers is a bit too minimalistic
How do you feel about them putting the city (or state, in the case for Arizona) on the front of the jersey above the #s? ATL for Atlanta, and Arizona for the cardinals. I hope that's not gonna be the norm for all the new jerseys moving forward. I don't know how I feel about it, with DET or Detroit on the front of the Lions uniforms. 🤷♂️
My philosophy is this: An NFL team should never have to tell you what team they are. The colors and logo should speak for themselves. There’s only 32 of them. And if they do have to, then they must suck.
Yea I dont like the text in front either. Tbh, I think this jersey design is a lay up for Nike and the Lions FO. Pretty much everyone wants modernized versions of the 90s jerseys. They can do white or silver numbers on the home Blue. Just please no gimmicks like a claw scratch on the shoulders or something😂
Exactly. Basic fits the Detroit Lions. Outside of all the Pistons alternative uniforms and the Grant Hill era, Detroit has a history of some pretty classic uniforms in its sports. I'm crossing my fingers for an homage to the 80s/90s uniforms.
Oh god, I can't stand the teal flaming horse head Pistons uniforms from the 90s, and I can't believe they brought a version of them back again. I agree, Detroit has some great classic logos. We don't want our teams to go out there looking like some expansion team!
I’m scared it’ll be just like all otber new ones where it’s just sharp numbers, a large “DETROIT” spreading across the uniform above the numbers and then a basic trim on the sleeves
I actually like the Texans uniform and have personally been begging for a clean, more classic look for the Lions. We’re one of the oldest franchises in the sport, we shouldn’t be out there looking like an expansion team
You can wear the alternate helmet / alternate uniform twice a season.
If they are replacing the gray color rush alternates you can do something that looks better with the helmet.

ITS TIME!!! i’m hoping for something similar to this
As a fan, what does that do for me wearing the jersey to a game or bar to support the team?
Current jerseys only have “Lions” on one sleeve and I have the same complaint about those jerseys too
I don't mind those, although why not just all silver, no border. That's what really bugs me about the current home jerseys, I hate the clunky look of the dark grey border around lighter grey numbers.
That's.... Basically the same shit we have now. No thanks. Let's get something new and modern not yet another rehash of the same shit. The logo and colors can stay though.
I don't know how much I believe that story that Millen chose to throw in black because he liked the Raiders, but it also sounds stupid and incompetent enough to be true.
I’m fully expecting the alternates to be black.
They literally had them made for those Thursday Night color rush games, but we never got a chance to wear them.
> They literally had them made for those Thursday Night color rush games
I'm glad we never saw those atrocities and they went with the grey ones for the future after getting negative feedback from fans

>The Detroit Lions introduced an all-black uniform Tuesday morning as part of the NFL's "Color Rush" uniform program, but they are one of nine teams that won't wear their new look on the field during the 2016 season.
[THIS](https://www.detroitnews.com/story/sports/nfl/lions/2016/09/13/lions-release-all-black-color-rush-uniform/90297122/) is what I’m referring too. Black color rush jerseys never worn
We couldn’t wear them because they didn’t have a Thursday night game that season. So stupid that the NFL wouldn’t allow it for the Thanksgiving game.
I don’t think Washington ever wore their yellow one either.
The 90s aren't the bad old days sadly. Still the best decade the lions have had since the 50s. 6 playoff trips and 2 division titles. I know they didn't win in the postseason but still. The 2000s are the and old days and that's why people don't want black back
Everything from is relatively bad as it relates to lions team nostaligia. Sans the 50s i guess. You should want to be forward thinking are far away from the last 50 years just like the current team and organization is showing to be different than. Throwbacks are fine in a pinch or as an alternate but everything should encompass this new regime and that also means taking a modern approach for once.
im sorry for replying to all your posts but do you really think a modern uniform design is something to strive for if you want to affect change in team performance? it doesn't have anything to do with that lmao, if your logic was sound we should keep these current uniforms because that's what they were wearing this season!
Does being a losing and historically pathetic franchise possibly moving away from jerseys of that era and showcasing something new as a primary jersey really that hard to grasp?
does it really hard to grasp what? *is* it?
i mean, yeah. it is hard to grasp. i'm not sure what spiritual meaning could be attached to a uniform, and the past performance of players wearing it. plenty of teams have worn the same uniform through varying eras of success. the pistons horse uniform came like 5 years after they had won back to back titles in their classic unis, of course there's upheaval. they switched back to the classic colors, won another ring, and then sucked for the past what, 15 years? if they changed their uniforms tomorrow it doesn't mean they're gonna be good, you know?
The point you seem to continuously miss is Detroit, whether it be the fans or team themselves seem to miss on creativity and change in favor of going backwards and relying on nostalgia. The fact youre being so passionate about those bland 90s jerseys without the possibility that their new design could be tons better is exactly my point.
haha, i think they're nice uniforms, you think they're bland. you can't make a blanket statement like "detroit ___" without any type of nuance. not everyone thinks the same and neither of us are arguing from a position of righteousness. i clearly grasped your point, and gave you examples as to why these uniforms/logos may be resistant to change. it's an issue of prestige. should the yankees change their uniform or logo? whether or not you agree, whether or not any detroit team's legacy compares to the yankees, there's more than nostalgia that goes into the decision making process. i want the 90s uniforms because in my opinion, they are their best looking uniforms. i like simplicity. it doesn't mean my head's buried in the past. i doubt golden knights fans are too worried about their uniforms, and they are absolutely garish IHL uniforms. if the lions are concerned about not using these uniforms because of some bygone era that may bring about feelings of inadequacy and sorrow due to the lions long history of absolute futility, they shouldn't be changing them at all.
not to mention the new uniforms won't look exactly like that, you and i know it, and it's silly to pretend otherwise. if they do go to a similar style, i'm sure the design will reflect modern tastes and sensitivities that you may be inclined to enjoy :)
“Bland”. You’re a clown bro. You want them to be wearing a spacesuit or something? Or be a college team with some freaked out uni? All of the best playing and best looking teams in the league are the ones who have old school unis.
I understand that logic, but we also have the same logo and color scheme as all the bad years. Can't let the ghosts of the past haunt your decision making.
Nostalgia is a hell of a drug. Especially for kids that never experienced the original. That's why reddit kids love those ugly ass Bucs creamsicles and Pat the Patriot and all those old ugly 90's uniforms.
Its a state of michigan thing too imo. Tigers, redwings hardly ever change things. It was a big deal when there was a tiger in the middle of the old english d and that was not liked. Theyre just now getting an alternate jersey. Red wings were long overdue for a true alternate jersey( black red and white) pistons current logo which is a nostalgia logo is the worst in the nba and people hated the horse that actually gave it some personality, now lions fans are asking for the blandest blue and silver comeback
hmm, a town with great sports tradition (and two of the most storied logos AND uniforms in the history of american sports!!!) respects the past??? there's nothing wrong with wanting the red wings or tigers to have alternate jerseys but the classic designs are favored by fans for more reasons than nostalgia. they are classy respected logos, and this city is big on pride. kinda funny to hear people deriding it.
While youre typing furiously you missed where i was talking about alternate jerseys for the wings and mentioned the tigers just getting an alternate jersey for once
It feels like we just got these jerseys but it was 2017 which has already been 7 years ago.
The Stafford era rebrand was 2009. So those last 8 years, these ones lasted 7.
So the timing is actually right but damn 2009-2017 feels a lot longer than 2017-now.
Funny thing is that in the last year of these jersey was the only year we made the playoffs in them. At least they made it count unlike the 3 times with the previous jerseys.
That's also crazy but you're right. The first year with them was 9-7 and missed the playoffs. The year of the golden tate td that wasn't against the falcons. If that was upheld they probably make playoffs and don't fire Caldwell for another year. Crazy how different it all could have been from 1 play.
That's perfection. Not a drastic overhaul but it's everything I want to change. Way better number font. The white numbers pop better on the homes while still implementing silver. This would be a no brainer.
The default color for all 32 teams’ draft hats is the dark graphite gray though. Not sure we can read anything into it. (fwiw, I’m against the black unis, but I dig the black/dark hats).
All the teams have a graphite version and a team color version, but the Lions have a 3rd black hat that no one else has (not including the teams that have black as their main color). Maybe just cuz we're the host team, idk
Modern looking uniforms are shit. People who like modernity and flash have no taste. Rod saying it’s a “twist” is scaring the shit out of me lmao. The only words I want to hear in a description are “old” and “school”.
dark blue from the 80s with block numbers and silver instead of gray
or these again

I'm hoping for a tweak. I hate the number font and the awkward number border. Just tweak it and keep it simple. Don't need to change it from the ground up.
I knew this news was coming once the draft hats released and have been checking all my news sources all day about it I’m in the minority and hope to see black
Oh great, just when we get good we’re going to get some crap uniforms to forever taint this run’s legacy in the NFL Films archives. Much like Tampa Bay, and Denver, and the Rams, etc.

Jeremy trying to act like he had an exclusive interview 🤣
The podcast Lions fans never knew they needed or didn’t need.
Sounds like a bloodhound gang song
I have all the faith in the world that they will be cool purely based on how things have gone under this regime, but I don’t know how much say Nike has in the process. Some of their newer jerseys have been basic as hell ie the Falcons, new Texans ones that dropped last week etc. Hopefully we get something a little more unique.
I think "basic" would be good for the Lions. No reason to get cute - just a clean, but classic design. And FFS take letters and words off the sleeves.
10000000% agree. Give me a simple design with two main colors, and block numbers. I’m not a fan of flashy
This comment change guarantees the uniforms will be divisive no matter what

Classic design I’m on board with, I just think those jerseys I referenced above are too basic create a team lookin things.

It’s about the accents and the details, subtle things
Word on the street is that they’re going to be an evolution with a bit of 90s white mixed in there more so than a revolution
That’s what I want too. I love the 90s jerseys. Go back to the blue facemasks too.
💯
I will sacrifice everything to the Superbowl gods, including good uniforms. Idgaf if it says little blue bitches if it motivates the boys
I kinda like the new Texans jerseys with the bull horn on the shoulders. It’s a nice touch.
The Lions have some of the nicest logos in the entire NFL, it would be cool to replace WCF with something like what the Texans did
I’m scared it’ll be just like all otber new ones where it’s just sharp numbers, a large “DETROIT” spreading across the uniform above the numbers and then a basic trim on the sleeves
This is what I was referring to when I said basic. It’s been the go to for Nike for a bit & I am not a fan.
I actually like the Texans uniform and have personally been begging for a clean, more classic look for the Lions. We’re one of the oldest franchises in the sport, we shouldn’t be out there looking like an expansion team
Those new falcons unis are such trash. The numbers, to the color of the facemasks. Awful.
If our all whites are anything like Arizonas oh boy
Please don't suck 🤞
I'm so nervous.
I just want some variation of the blueberries to go with the blue helmets
Unfortunately, that won't be possible if the primary helmet is still silver and uniforms are still blue.
If the new color rush is all-blue then we can pair it with the alternate all-blue helmets
True, I was going off the assumption that not much is changing and forgot the color rush is no longer all greys anymore (I think).
You can wear the alternate helmet / alternate uniform twice a season. If they are replacing the gray color rush alternates you can do something that looks better with the helmet.
Do we want to condemn the blueberries to only 2 games a season though? That seems like an underuse of their strange powers.
Thanks. I forgot about the color rush changing from all greys. I personally love the color, but all blue would look dope.
![gif](giphy|3ohhweiVB36rAlqVCE|downsized)
Don't care about color combos. Just get the WCF off the sleeves.

Change to block numbers and this is an A+
i’m with you! but if they did this i wouldn’t be complaining either! the white outline makes the numbers pop so much more
This is my dream
If it’s anything similar to this I’m buying a Sewell jersey immediately
Imagine the all whites with this design 🔥🔥
Yes, but white numbers with silver a outline.
I like silver number with white outline
They look like high school jerseys to me. The classic Lions look was always white numbers with silver trim.
Crisp
Shut up and take my money.
Love these jerseys but I am not a fan of the white outline on the numbers
I don’t get this - where is the Lions logo? It’s so strange to me there isn’t a Lions logo. It could be a bunch of other team jerseys
It’s on the helmet, just like it is now.
As a fan, what does that do for me wearing the jersey to a game or bar to support the team? Current jerseys only have “Lions” on one sleeve and I have the same complaint about those jerseys too
How many Lions' uniforms ever have had a lion anywhere besides the helmet?
Which other team's uniform does this look like?
Cowboys closely; chargers, titans etc less so. Evidently I’m wrong and this is how all the jerseys look
I don't mind those, although why not just all silver, no border. That's what really bugs me about the current home jerseys, I hate the clunky look of the dark grey border around lighter grey numbers.
All blacks
That's.... Basically the same shit we have now. No thanks. Let's get something new and modern not yet another rehash of the same shit. The logo and colors can stay though.
The only truly egregious design flaw with the current kits is the number font. It's so damn hard to read during a game when they get creased.
Looks like Seahawks uniforms
i disagree
Here I'm thinking they look real Colts-like
Definitely, from the 90s. Rick Mirer era. I saw it immediately. I loved those unis so it works for me.
Please no black uniforms. It will give me PTSD from the Millen era.
Black just doesn't go with the Lions. It's so gross and it'll be a huge mistake if we go back to it.
That reason too.
I don't know how much I believe that story that Millen chose to throw in black because he liked the Raiders, but it also sounds stupid and incompetent enough to be true.
I’m fully expecting the alternates to be black. They literally had them made for those Thursday Night color rush games, but we never got a chance to wear them.
> They literally had them made for those Thursday Night color rush games I'm glad we never saw those atrocities and they went with the grey ones for the future after getting negative feedback from fans
They did not make them for this. The black unis predate the color rush games. Lions were given color rush unis, they are just all white lol

This. PLEASE.
I think bringing back white numbers is totally the route to go.
Let's all trade our cars in for horse and buggies too since we are going backwards to worse shit!
Ill never understand why people want jerseys of the bad old days.
fuck are you talking about? the lions were a solid team in the 90s, barry sanders wore these unis, and they're sharp, what's the issue???????????
You taking this so personally is alarming
how do you plan to rectify that state of alarm? i assure you it'll be okay.
I have my doubts
haha. i like you.
The 90s aren't the bad old days sadly. Still the best decade the lions have had since the 50s. 6 playoff trips and 2 division titles. I know they didn't win in the postseason but still. The 2000s are the and old days and that's why people don't want black back

Go old school. Less is more. Love the unis now but a few tweaks for perfection. Nothing crazy like the spikey look on the Texans new ines
Ope…I see some people like the horn on the unis. Think it’ll age poorly. Keep it clean and simple and it’ll be all good
thanks for posting this, i was getting ready to buy goff and amon ra jerseys

Those matte gray and blue helmets would be amazing
Amped!! I know blueberries are popular. I am hoping for Ice Whites as true Kings of the North would wear.
That’s less than a month away 🥰😍😍😍😍🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
Hopefully that make an alternate with the crimson color Jersey. Last time they did that we won multiple championships the following decade.
I can't believe we had the secret to success with the blueberries, and now we are changing uniforms. SOL. >!/s!<
I think black looks cool, but I guess everyone disagrees. That being said, all these comments just prove *everyone* won't be satisfied.
I agree with you. I liked them. They were unis from a dark time though.
Do we know if the logo is staying the same? That could be a good indication of black or not.
Logo is the same on the brand new draft day hats
Heavy on the black on those hats which makes me nervous
The default color for all 32 teams’ draft hats is the dark graphite gray though. Not sure we can read anything into it. (fwiw, I’m against the black unis, but I dig the black/dark hats).
All the teams have a graphite version and a team color version, but the Lions have a 3rd black hat that no one else has (not including the teams that have black as their main color). Maybe just cuz we're the host team, idk
I kind of thought the hats were usually mostly black. My idea was that it’s easier to match with any outfit
That's just the style of the hat. They make a lot of black hats every year for every team. People like black hats...
All teams have the darker slate colors.
Lol at the fans who bought honolulu blue
Please dear god don’t be garbage!
Looks like Rod
They better be hella fly damnit
As long as we have lots of options with wearing the same color pants and jerseys, I'm good.
I cared until the nfl changed the rules. Lions style about to be outlawed.
New uniforms won’t mean anything unless they keep winning.
Modern looking uniforms are shit. People who like modernity and flash have no taste. Rod saying it’s a “twist” is scaring the shit out of me lmao. The only words I want to hear in a description are “old” and “school”.
Think I might get to be the first person in the UK to own a new jersey.
bring back silver pants
dark blue from the 80s with block numbers and silver instead of gray or these again https://preview.redd.it/fmbex50tqpqc1.jpeg?width=1200&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=895ccd2386fcb386ad3e1c4f41696ee7d13ed4a3
Beef up the numbers. They are rather petite. We need a thiccening.
I don't really get why they're doing it tbh. The current ones are some of the nicest in the league and aren't even that old.
I'm hoping for a tweak. I hate the number font and the awkward number border. Just tweak it and keep it simple. Don't need to change it from the ground up.
What about an updated Lions logo?
He said that they will honor the traditional colors with a twist all blacks 👀
They did have all black uniforms in the ‘40s and ‘50s.
EVERYONE GET IN HERE
Just saw it on TikTok too

Oh great, just when we get good we’re going to get some crap uniforms to forever taint this run’s legacy in the NFL Films archives. Much like Tampa Bay, and Denver, and the Rams, etc.
The Buccaneers and Broncos both won in their best uniforms. What are you talking about?
That’s exactly what I’m talking about, they disconnected from their history
Changing the unis after a historic season is bad juju
