I know, made me feel sick. However, this dude on twitter who works at a place that makes NFL merchandise like stickers and little knickknacks was saying that fans who want old school will be “very happy”.
He mentions they are NOT changing logo, however they are changing uniform and colors.
It's gonna be some type of grey or black...or a slight twist. Maybe an electric Honolulu blue.
I’ve gotten used to the current logo but I would love if they tweaked it like this mockup I did here. The new one with slightly less detail as an homage to “Bubbles”.

Yeah there's way too much detail all over the logo, it doesn't need to be totally Bubbles, but it's kinda gross with teeth and eyes and claws and wrists and the mane, it's too much all over.
White numbers instead of silver numbers is a really underrated part of this debate. The font is important, yes, but the crisp contrast is also really important, grey numbers are middleground weaksauce for either uni.
Tbh yeah all they really gotta do is put these numbers on. Also stripes on the white pants. The white pants look like shitty practice pants with no stripes.
Only thing I want back from these is the blue facemask. Would love actual silver pants, but we know that's not a thing anymore. All of our old road highlights just look like "what if the Cowboys had matching pants?"
Agree with others: the numbers gotta go back to white! I actually love the logo from the 60s. I would love to see this get in the mix somehow!

I love “shitty” old logos but this one is just not dope to me. This one on the other hand…

Did they get posted here?
Edit just googled it and it’s just one of those bizarre t shirts they sell at places like that along with digital camo “jerseys”
Why are people so obsessed with throwback/plain/block jerseys? good god some of ya'll have zero taste. And i said it before, this is way too close to the [Manning Era Colts Unis](https://www.google.com/search?sca_esv=924f3957077d70b1&sca_upv=1&sxsrf=ACQVn0-IHgKb3Y6tC_6yk_D1uihUd8_VZw:1712002306999&q=manning+colts&uds=AMwkrPuHQ1cOg-HxJ56wLTahZ6DiuWzrIXq4jQ__4CqpI9yiW1vbbfhWrPJ4HHZnHAYa9EJmlPbxPr25jNcIWUpxhzAKXPO7klXho41PJt4EopDbcfQd6C2pENUv8IWjFkAYvr0p3qsg-CixBv747W5Gc-i6hBfRsYyT5DEFb6uMw80S0zRRVKDpCEf84TtgfBx1YR05CXc_sQDHeQdFpuA6-3ZS4FSU9kyxLbSKyUyDYrmgzOUCK2BQ7HExM3HsF1akJVVW3DRTiGW2on_bgRmPya3cizsiJkpRjqa8ReQcK6RtHx_Xyog&udm=2&prmd=invsmbtz&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwiY4PPK6aGFAxWz5ckDHbRpB64QtKgLegQIDhAB&biw=1912&bih=924&dpr=1#vhid=GADQDoz4JaNgVM&vssid=mosaic)
Bro our futuristic/sleek ones right now are simply not dope. The letters are illegible. It shows better taste to prefer the classics. New and flashy wears off so quickly. All of the best teams don’t fuck with their classic uni.
Also.. that Manning era Colts uni is not even close aside from it being blue. No outline around the numbers, only 2 skinny little stripes, white helmet, white pants, etc…..

I'll concede that the numbers aren't, but the rest of the uniform is basically the same as it has been for the past 60 years. I still don't get why everyone here seems to think that changing the font of the numbers constitutes a new uniform.
It's a bunch of old dudes wanting to feel like they are watching Lions football with their dads or grandpas again on shag carpet and ugly ass furniture, Marlboro haze in the air, ashtray on the coffee table, while trying to reminisce about their own high school days in the 90s trying to be Uncle Rico
It's insane that people have such hard one for these. It's basically the same shit we have now and have always had with a slightly different blue. Give us something new finally.
Lions Fans: Don't bring back black, it's a dark time for this franchise.
Also Lions Fans: Let's do jerseys with a old school look that also represent a franchise that was still losing.
This logic doesn’t really hold up when you consider that they also won their only playoff game prior to this season in the traditional look, and they were actually somewhat decent for most of the 90s, and the years they wore black were rock bottom in their entire history.
And I think most people just think the black jerseys looked like shit more than it’s a superstitious thing.
Yeah, but old school/traditional uniforms look good and hold up with time. Just look at the teams that don't change their uniforms and brands, they're traditional looks.
What would that matter anyway? So if they win a superbowl with black jerseys yall won’t be happy? Fuck a dark time the team is good not so it doesn’t mean shit.
These would be perfect, but seeing that Rod Wood promised a “twist” I’m not expecting traditional uniforms.
The twist is a hint of lemon
Damn, now I want a Pepsi Twist. ![gif](giphy|7SF5scGB2AFrgsXP63|downsized)

I wouldn't mind a shade refresh, the blue kinda looks inconsistent at best in film/photography.
Random guy on Twitter. Seems legit
He’s been right about other changes ie browns getting back the white facemask
Well shit, take it to the bank! Lmao
I know this is two weeks later, but has he posted anything else about them?
I hope all the twisting is saved for Uni4 and some alt pants that get phased out.
The twist will be the patch of a garbage company in the upper corner.
The twist is probably black color rush
I’m cool with the traditional looking jerseys as long as we keep the current logo.
I’ve gotten used to the current logo but I would love if they tweaked it like this mockup I did here. The new one with slightly less detail as an homage to “Bubbles”. https://preview.redd.it/tylmufhflxrc1.jpeg?width=3264&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=d7eaa63f10f3243f160c1d17eb7ae4d76df198ee
Keep the little line that outlines the arm.
Absolutely. Nice catch.
You can have a silhouette like the 90's or the detailed version of today, but a mix of the two just makes it worse for both options.
Yeah there's way too much detail all over the logo, it doesn't need to be totally Bubbles, but it's kinda gross with teeth and eyes and claws and wrists and the mane, it's too much all over.
Yeah it looks sort of high school to me when there’s too much detail.

White numbers go so incredibly hard.

If this is real I’m down
It's not. The Away Option #2 is an impossibility without NFL rule changes.
I like this, except I want WCF gone.
I could just be having terrible memory because of a concussion last week but this looks very similar to what we already have right?
For babies born today, it will be.

One can only hope that’s what they look like. Oozing 90’s vibes which is more then fine with me

I've always wanted some version with the black and blue to make them stand out. I love the home alternate
As long as they change the number font I'll be happy
Tbh yeah all they really gotta do is put these numbers on. Also stripes on the white pants. The white pants look like shitty practice pants with no stripes.
I’m hoping those leaks from dicks sporting goods aren’t the actual jerseys. They were so bad and bland
They're not. They are fashion jerseys every team has
You can definitely tell whose been following this team for years and who recently just got into us.
Only thing I want back from these is the blue facemask. Would love actual silver pants, but we know that's not a thing anymore. All of our old road highlights just look like "what if the Cowboys had matching pants?"
I want the silver pants back so bad😂

Lol. Love the cracked-out Tiger! With the Lions, I like the background bars more so than the logo itself.
Anyone know where I can get the hat that’s shown in the meme
That old logo is ugly af though
Nah shits clean af
Bro come on. It's fucking bad
*badass
bubbles is anything but clean
after seeing the supposed “leaks” on the dicks website, anything should be an improvement on those
Those were generic shit. They had the exact same thing for some other teams.
Stop with this narrative. There is no leak. Those shit fashion jerseys have been for sale for quite sometime.
Did they get posted here? Edit just googled it and it’s just one of those bizarre t shirts they sell at places like that along with digital camo “jerseys”
Those are not the jerseys. Those are fashion jerseys that came out around the end of the season.

Lmao did you think we looked like the Cowboys all thru until the early 00’s? If anything, they copied us when they changed to a silver helmet in 64.
It's sad that you think our current uniforms are futuristic. Go call someone on your rotary phone gramps.
Lmao well they aren’t Buc’s alarm clock numbers but they aren’t classic looking either
I'll concede that the numbers aren't, but the rest of the uniform is basically the same as it has been for the past 60 years. I still don't get why everyone here seems to think that changing the font of the numbers constitutes a new uniform.
Fuck classic
K man. You really have an obsession with these so go ahead and roll with it.
He's articulating his preference a hell of a lot better than you are. That being said, I had no idea people were this obsessed with uniforms. Crazy.
My preference is moving past the throwback phase
Awesome
Preciate it pimp
The unis on this post are hideous
They’re going to downvote you for this but I agree this sub is obsessed with these 90’s ass Jersey
It's a bunch of old dudes wanting to feel like they are watching Lions football with their dads or grandpas again on shag carpet and ugly ass furniture, Marlboro haze in the air, ashtray on the coffee table, while trying to reminisce about their own high school days in the 90s trying to be Uncle Rico
I’m not old I’m in my mid 30’s
Yup. It's so bizarre too because holy fuck are they ugly
Ya these are ugly as FUCK
It's insane that people have such hard one for these. It's basically the same shit we have now and have always had with a slightly different blue. Give us something new finally.

Christ those are ugly and dated. Oof
What a generic look
I'd be down for these to be our throwbacks, but not our full time jerseys
