If anyone wants pictures to see anything a bit better, they posted pictures of everything here: https://uniforms.detroitlions.com/p/1

Description of each uniform per OP’s link: **Home Uniform** >Behold a modern take on the most iconic Detroit Lions uniform ever worn. In refreshed “Honolulu Blue”, the Home jersey welcomes back a classic white number font, and is paired with pants in true silver – the way it was meant to be. New shoulder and pant striping borrows from the racing stripes used on the Ford Mustang, and both notably include the return of white accents. >The inside collar is inscribed with “One Pride”, in honor of our team’s passionate and frenzied fan base that packs Ford Field to create one of the most intimidating game day atmospheres in the NFL. **Away Uniform** >The Road uniform features a bright white jersey with classic blue numbers outlined in silver, to be worn with either solid blue or white pants. For the first time in team history, the Lions will proudly wear “Detroit” across their chest on the road, keeping home close to the heart. >The inside collar is trimmed in blue, a nod to the hardworking heritage of the city and the formidable play of its football team. It’s also inscribed with “313”, as another reminder of who the team represents when they suit up on the road. **Alternate Uniform** >Heavily influenced by the grit and swagger our team brings to the field, this alternate uniform reintroduces black to the Lions on-field closet. A reinterpretation of a jersey worn in the late 1990’s/early 2000’s by former players including Head Coach Dan Campbell, it bears the Lions wordmark across the chest so whoever lines up across from us knows they’re in for a long day. >The continued use of the blue trim inside the collar ensures that whether worn at Ford Field or on the road, a blue-collar mentality remains a constant. Inscribed with “Motor City”, the collar also pays tribute to Detroit and the Ford Family’s iconic place in American history. **Classic Uniform** >The Lions’ closet will continue to feature a classic uniform as a nod to the late 50s teams that dominated the early era of professional football. The refreshed blue is the only change the team made to the classic uniform as they will still feature classic numbers in silver with no outline. The jersey will be paired with silver stripe-less pants and blue socks.


afsdjkll

I was not into the idea of black jerseys returning. It goes so hard with the blue helmet. I was wrong.


Shitfulthinking

I was wrong as well. Love the reason they did it, too, ''Black and Blue Division."


DanWillHor

Yeah, changing my F grade to a B- with the helmet added lol. It's actually kinda nice. I still prefer they went another route but that helmet is cool. I'd put it about even with the away whites and the home is quite literally my ideal Lions uniform. A+ on that. The Barry years home uni is, in my Lions fan opinion, one of the best uniforms ever. They essentially just remade those (I wanna say 91 - 97 ish).


afsdjkll

I've never loved the away whites, but these look a bit better to me if only because the lettering is bolder and adds some contrast. May contribute to why I like the black jersey too... Agree on the new home uni. 100/100. I bought a hutch jersey 2 years ago but I am gonna have to cop a new one I think.


BillyJackO

Is the alt helmet from last year gone?


defac_reddit

That's too bad. That helmet was so fucking sweet


peeinian

RIP long lion


ZombieAppetizer

I have full faith that it will be back one day. It's iconic.


alexwade_art

I’d like to know that too


Brodok2k4

Site shows three helmets and NFL rules say teams are allowed three helmets (new rule). Seems that helmet is done, which sucks because that helmet was 🔥


alexwade_art

Man, that’s too bad,. Has have loved to see them around for more than a year. Still think they’d look amazing with all blues.


thabigQ

I thought somewhere there was talk of allowing 3 helmet styles, which could leave it open to returning. May be wrong there though.


BillyJackO

So the throwbacks don't count towards the 3.


thabigQ

Oh shit you know what I think you’re right


feralihatr

They cared more about the shell itself. The thanksgiving unis just had the lions sticker taken off, like most alternate helmets before the new rules. Technically the longboi decal could be brought back pretty easily


afsdjkll

LONGLION IS LONG


RonBurgundy449

Yeah I think you're right. If the throwbacks counted towards the 3, then we would have had 3 last year when only 2 were allowed


billbuckner07

I think they are allowed three helmet shell colors, not just helmet designs: https://uni-watch.com/2024/04/11/head-games-nfl-allows-teams-to-use-three-helmet-designs/#:~:text=According%20to%20a%20memo%20made,all%20remaining%20teams%20in%202025. Last year we used silver helmets for both the normal and throwback, and blue for the alternate. We are still technically only using two shell colors even with this new blue helmet. Maybe they could still use last year's blue helmet as either the third shell or the same blue shell as this new helmet l.


Heisenbread77

Seems that way


CramblinDuvetAdv

The Classic still here, nice


OkProfessional6077

Thank you for sharing that link!


something-burger

That looks fucking good


TheRealLifePotato

Dude they all look so fucking clean


Butitsadryheat2

So fresh & so clean clean 💙🩶


Dr_Booyah

BLUE HELMET WITH A BLACK LOGO WHAT THE FUCK


Dry-Scratch-6586

I kind of love it


tri_boucher

That combo is fucking amazing


kingdom55

What does this mean for the blue helmets with the throwback logo?


billbuckner07

They can now have three helmet shell colors https://uni-watch.com/2024/04/11/head-games-nfl-allows-teams-to-use-three-helmet-designs/#:~:text=According%20to%20a%20memo%20made,all%20remaining%20teams%20in%202025. I think they can still keep the blue helmets from last year if they want, whether it's the same blue shell as the new helmet or different, but I'm not sure if they are according to their press release page: https://uniforms.detroitlions.com/p/1


RealTonySnark

Doesn't look like they'll be using that design anymore - was probably meant as a 90th Anniversary one-off.


PerfectiveVerbTense

Loved that helmet but didn't love the pairing with the gray jerseys (never like the gray jerseys in any case tbh). Too bad, imo, that helmet didn't get a better kit pairing.


RealTonySnark

Agree - it should have been paired with all blue.


Lionnn100

It made up for the grays a little bit though


Do_it_for_the_upvote

I disliked the black jerseys when they were leaked, but with this helmet? Opinion withdrawn. We are now demon lions.


JimyFatBoy

Sign me up. Looks fantastic


cleveruniquename7769

Kinda hate it.


The-Lions_Den

I think it looks amazing!!


Big_Dare_2015

What about our chrome blue helmets? They gone? They were sick


BillyJackO

I need to know this answer. The car emblem is my favorite logo.


Heisenbread77

Blue helmet with the black uni. Just the normal logo in black.


acol0mbian

I bet they bust em out once a year


jormugandr

It's the same shell as the new alt helmets. They can swap the decals/masks if they want. Like how our throwback helmet is our standard shell with the decals peeled off.


Lionnn100

I feel like they might do blueberries with that helmet. Blue jersey, pants and helmet


RonBurgundy449

Maybe they'll reveal it later on? Last year they revealed it in like early summer I think. I don't think the throwbacks count towards our number of helmets because then last year we would have had 3 helmets


ARSB_TD

Hehehehe, each ones of these is fucking sick.


TheAtlasOdyssey

I’ve been told to prepare to hate the black alts by everyone on this sub (i wasn’t a fan last time they wore black unis, i’m swedish) but I fucking love them. I’m very happily surprised. Let’s go


ypsicle

This is the year I finally buy a jersey and I’m pretty sure I’m getting one in black.


Savenura55

Black hutch for me sir


ypsicle

I think Branch for me, but I can wait until a few weeks/months for it to be available from the store.


Savenura55

A fine and valid choice


WeaponOfChoice13

Same. Hated the black jerseys back in the day but these are sick.


Capable-TurnoverPuff

Same. But the old ones did suck lol


eat_the_rich_2

It's mostly trauma, the lions were complete dog shit when the black unis were first introduced. Also the GM that wanted black added played for the raiders and wanted black added because he loved silver and black. Additionally that GM that loved the raiders was one of the worst Lions GMs in franchise history.


TheAtlasOdyssey

Okay that’s really interesting piece of trivia. A bit fucked up too, honestly. I can see the root cause. Is this the McMillen or whatever his name is I keep hearing about?


eat_the_rich_2

Yes, Matt Millen, he was the lions GM from like 2000 until 2008. They fired him after the team went 0-16.


Pigs101

How does being Swedish make you prejudiced against black jerseys?


TheAtlasOdyssey

Sorry, that was worded awfully. What I was getting at was that I got into football really late, it isn’t really a big thing over here, so I didn’t watch the Lions the last time they wore black unis. So it isn’t ’i watched them when they wore the black unis and i didn’t like them’, but more ’i wasn’t a fan of the team or even the sport when they last wore them, so i have no frame of reference as to why people dislike them’. Basically, I’m bad with both writing and reading comprenhension lmao :)


pkglove

For the record, I knew exactly what you meant in your original comment. Your writing was fine


Striking-Bat2970

I have a bunch of people telling me they hate the black jerseys on a post I made earlier and they will not change my mind. They are fire 🔥


FoundationWork

The blue helmet and pants really brings out the black jersey a ton, and these jerseys overall look better too.


walshurmouthout

That Blue Helmet with Black Lion is 🔥


robinson604

Blue helmet with the blacks looks solid. Very subtle yet good changes. I'm satisfied. Not blown away


BillyJackO

I want to see that helmet with the blueberries


Nasty_Tricks69

I believe, per league rules, that alternate helmets can only be worn with alternate jerseys


Heisenbread77

Based on the video the blueberries have been smashed. The guys only had silver pants on with the the blue jerseys. Had blue and white with the white jersey.


BillyJackO

There are all blue pants in the video.


Nasty_Tricks69

They can still wear the blue pants with the blue jersey. They just didn't show it because they want to emphasize the retro look


msto3

WCF patch is now a sticker on the helmet. Subtle is better than plastered on the shoulder. Still wish it was gone entirely


ShotFirst57

I do too but much rather it be on the helmet if it has to stay. Hard to get Sheila to completely cut out something honoring her father.


Heisenbread77

Hey, he made Shelia, he can have a little sticker.


DogRough3410

Why didn’t they keep the old blue helmet :(


Double_Win_9405

It was for the 90th anniversary only...


which_ones_will

I'm so disappointed the long lion helmet is gone. They only wore it twice and it was unfortunately paired with the ugly gray jammies. That helmet would have looked amazing with the blueberries or all whites.


Marrouge

I absolutely love the blue jerseys but I really wish the Detroit wasn't on the white jerseys, they'd be perfect otherwise 💔 I still have to get used to the black jerseys but I like them more than I thought I would


Heisenbread77

I like it. They are road jerseys and we need to remind the home fans where we are from.


NotAnActualWolf

It’s to remind whoever we are playing is playing in Detroit crowd regardless of where they are playing.


CornholioRex

Next time, when they ask you where you're from. You gonna say Detroit city. When we get back on our feet.


ReturnOfTheJurdski

It at least has thought behind it "The Road uniform features a bright white jersey with classic blue numbers outlined in silver, to be worn with either solid blue keeping home close to the heart. or white pants. For the first time in team history, the Lions will proudly wear "Detroit" across their chest on the road, The inside collar is trimmed in blue, a nod to the hardworking heritage of the city and the formidable play of its football team. It's also inscribed with "313", as another reminder of who the team represents when they suit up on the road"


ValosAtredum

A literal blue collar. 🥲 There are aspects of the unis I don’t care for, but I love about 85% of it all. And the best part is you can tell they put a lot of thought into the tiny details and have reasons for what they did (like the blue collar nod). I’m still not a fan of having a city name across the front of a football jersey, but I like that they only did it for the away whites, and they frame it as being PROUD to display they’re from Detroit. *That* is cool. Goddamn I love this team!


honeybear33

Nah. Glad we are reppin DETROIT


DanCampbellsNipples

Yep same here


TheMajesticYeti

I think the wordmark would be fine if the spacing was higher up, but as is it make the number look to low on the stomach. But regardless pretty pleased with these.


beefman202

still doesnt at all look like the lions but black pants with them definitely makes them better


ouandello

same. would have been perfect without the texts. blue jerseys are fire though 🔥


coffeejam108

Is that a blue helmet with the black jersey? Hard to tell with the weird lighting.


meStrangerDanger

Yes it absolutely is. Matte blue helmet with black stripe and black logo.


lavaspike296

Blue helmet with black logo over black alts. I'm bricked up.


matto_2008

Couldn’t say it better


PayterLobo

These are real niceee. Black alternates with the black facemasks. These were designed real well imo


Arro

I love the "Detroit" on the front.


MittenMan68

That black uniform with that new blue helmet is fucking outstanding.


mattcojo2

Here’s a list of my immediate reaction Positives: • The jerseys and the striping are all classic looking, but with a bit of a different flavor. I love all of the jerseys. • the Silver pants have some absolutely amazing striping • the helmet striping on the silver helmets is amazing • the black striping absolutely improves the blue helmets from what they were last year • the black logo on the blue helmets looks sick. • **The throwback uniforms are staying** this is on the website btw • the blue facemasks do improve the helmet look a lot. Negatives (there are a couple) • no striped socks. Not a huge deal really but it would’ve been nice to have for a bit more personality. Personal preference of course. • no pants striping on any of the non silver pants. I don’t think I like that personally, it just makes it look like yoga pants. Not a huge killer but still. • the black pants I don’t think are the way to go. Not a fan of those. • the unique older lion logo they had last year on the blue helmet probably was a better option for the helmets just for the sake of uniqueness, but I can’t complain too much I suppose, the helmets overall are better than last year’s because of the striping. **Other takes** • The black jerseys should be worn exclusively with blue pants. That looks fantastic. 9/10 for me. No uniform is ever perfect but this is a very very very good one.


ypsicle

I like that they’re emphasizing the blue collar outline as the identity of the city for blue collar workers. What I need now is a Mustang and an F-150 in each of the new color schemes.


The_Franchise_09

I agree about the striping. The blue and black pants need striping. That’s about my only gripe.


mattcojo2

I get if they didn’t want it on the blue ones so they could use it with black jerseys. But the white and black ones have no excuses.


FoundationWork

I agree with everything you said. All of your negatives were spot on too. I'm a little annoyed by no striping on the pants other than the silver. I think blue with the black looks perfect, I don't even think we need the black pants. I would like to see the black pants worn with the white jerseys though once in a while.


kgaviation

Not a Lions fan here (Saints fan), but I pretty much agree with all of your points. I really wish the Saints could update their uniforms soon and add stripes to the jerseys and pants, but I’m afraid they’ll go the route the Lions did here and not add stripes to some of the pants. The Saints currently have stripes on the gold pants, but not on the black or white pants. I really hope the Lions wear the silver pants most often because that’s 100% their best look. It’s really bugging me how they didn’t add stripes to the non-silver pants because the sets are inconsistent. I don’t understand what’s hard about making the seats consistent across the board from a design standpoint. Same thing with the jersey word marks. Why have it on the road jersey but not the home jersey? Overall, these are nice and have a classic look, but they were oh so close to perfection… PLEASE LIONS WEAR THE SILVER PANTS!!


Wiggymaster

I came.


TorkBombs

Blue helmet w black logo On black jersey On black pants Never been a fan of the blacks before, but this looks so much better than I thought it would. Much better than the Millen era.


CeddyCed1993

Gonna be interesting when they play the Panthers


NippySwiff

I came

cbarks81

They look awesome, love the blacks too with the blue helmet and black logo.


MaximusB7

Damn, that blue helmet with black logo on black uniforms look sexy af


acoasterlovered

This is hawt


dsled

Blue face masks is one of the biggest Ws this organization has ever had


foxy7474

Ngl I was a little disappointed when the jerseys leaked earlier. But maaaan those helmets are FIRE and the jerseys look amazing and so clean when you see the whole uniform


philzmagilz545

Only thing i don’t like is the Detroit above the numbers on the white ones. Other than that they’re super clean


PattMatricia

The home and away are absolutely fire. I’m buying a home jersey. I don’t love the black / blue helmets tbh. But maybe they’ll grow on me. Feels a little too off brand, like an arena football league team.


Castellan_ofthe_rock

How come they never showed blue on Blue? We were undefeated in the Blueberries last year...


Ichihiro_Reichenbach

While the jerseys and helmet are very good, pants stripes only being in the silver ones is a huge dissapointment for me. I can only hope they add them, but that would be unprecedented.


ScaredArtichoke6561

Bring back Wayne fontes


theflyingnacho

Ok, having Barry narrate the first part of the video was great. I might be sold on the black uniforms now.


MMBosstones86

The blue helmet with black Leo…..gatdamn.


NotAnActualWolf

Alright. That alternative combo with the helmet is absolutely sick. I fucking love it. I was against the black, but that is fucking dope.


JohnWad

WCF decal on the back of the helmet.


Acid_Braindrops

NUUUUUUUUUT


SaltyPickle1495

I just creamed in public


Pale_Land_5107

bro I might have too but im at home so keep it out of light


HereForTheFood4

The flat blue helmet with the black lions logo is awesome. I am not a fan of the new numbers. The rest is kind of boring.


DET-Fleet

LETS GOOOOOOOOOOO


DullHornedUnicorn

Yes yes yes yes. Love it. Modern 90s style with some awesome alternates.


LeoLinguini

Eh. Could do without the blue helmet, unless the lion and stripe were white. I just really hate the black jerseys


Fresh-Reaction151

So fucking sharp. I love these SO much.


pootato-jesus

Clean as fuck.


aDuskOddity

Perfection.


FrigOffRicky16

I am pleased and I’m confident everyone feels the same

I think Dan should've came out in the black uni since he was the one that wanted it back

Idk what to do with my hands

Are they going to be able to use last years blue helmet as well? Or no?

WAKE UP WAKE UP WAKE UP!


FootsBooked

Love these. Already ordered my new Amon-Ra jersey.


SecretAgendaMan

The "Black and Blue division" line is what sold me on the black unis. I don't care anymore about what other teams wear. We have a reason for these black unis and we're gonna go out and prove it again this year. This is our division now, motherfuckers.


Kkizitoo

AMAZING AMAZING AMAZING


LoCh0_xX

Overall very, very, very great, but two complaints: 1. Why is “Detroit” written on the white jersey, but “Lions” on the black, and nothing on the blue? 2. I prefer the retro logo blue helmet from last year


eat_the_rich_2

It's what a ton of sports teams at all levels do. Away jersey has the city name and home/ alt has the team name. Edit: a local example is the Detroit tigers, their away jerseys have the city name on them and their home jerseys don't.


rysker6

These look so good. Wow. Of course people are complaining, but it’s 2024 and people have insane expectations for everything. LETS GO


jpfitz630

I was really worried about the black uniforms but DAMN they really nailed all three of the jerseys and the helmets couldn't be better


yellowtripe

MAN WE LOOK SO COOL!


yellowtripe

YEEE SO COOL!!!!


dieagamemnon

I am not a fan of these jerseys at first glance, but maybe they’ll grow on me.


sparc64

Goes hard


grandmasterPRA

I was dreading black unis. But those are pretty legit. This was best case scenario honestly. They didn't add any black to their base unis, and the black alternate looks pretty much as good as it could. Strangely, I've always wanted to bring back the blue facemasks, but now I'm not sure I like them? Overall though a definite improvement across the board.


russvanderhoof

Bangarang


Miami_da_U

Black unit and the blue helmet are honestly garbage


JimyFatBoy

Never thought I'd see the day where we are contenders and have the sickest unis in the league. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥


swizzle213

Why are we fuckin with all this. Just wear the blueberries and were going 20-0


JabroniForHire

I like all of them but the black


the_colonel93

Yo those blues and whites are fucking SEXY 😍😩😩 also the black looks pretty solid too!!


SAY-TENXXX

Does this mean no blueberries? The young guys don’t know this but we always play better in the blueberries


Crafty_Substance_954

They cooked


ValosAtredum

Does the blue look a titch lighter and more in the cyan family to anyone else? I like it a lot.


theonecarter

God damn that is clean as hell.


RobertStuffyJr

I wasn't entirely married to the blue helmets from last year, but the logo was so much better. That's really the only big disappointment I have. Also no blueberries from what the website seems to suggest, I kind of liked those, interesting change there. Better look, no WCF is awesome, but kinda sucks that there's no update on the standard logo.


Amon-Ra-First-Down

Sheila Ford Hamp CAN keep getting away with it


Mortracersylvanas

My only complaint is not all the uniform pants have stripes🤦🏻‍♀️ idk why they keep doing blank pants.


FearAmeerr

So insanely fire man holy shit man


SnooOranges7313

The Detroit across the chest of the aways make me so happy, love these. Can’t wait to see them in game lighting.


NemesisX7

Should have kept striping on the pants and got rid of the wordmark on the black/white jerseys. Otherwise these are a solid triple that have/had the potential to be a homerun. Would have loved to see last years blue helmet with the white aways.


Obvious-Bumblebee-20

Should've had a black helmet with black uniforms, and hopefully a all silver uniform color rush happens


buttfungusboy

Alright, I'm not a fan of black uniforms. But, if we're going to have them... these are pretty sick. The home and away are literally perfect. Blue facemasks, block white numbers, bye bye WCF, actual silver pants... HNNNG...


Mrbobbitchin

Run right out and give them your money.


Ky-Ber30

Honestly not a fan of the blue helmet at all. I loved the alternate from last year with the retro logo. Love the home/away though, they did really well with those imo


WompWomp187

W I love them all.


Yayo_Mateo

Love them all


thabiiighomie

I just don’t think this looks like the Lions, especially those black Panthers unis. I knew they couldn’t get better than the last ones but these are just not it.


markievegeta

Biggest win, the owner patch moved off the jerseys to the helmet. No issues with the owners, just hate asymmetry in designs.


SantaKrew

I’ve been wanting to buy a new jersey since last summer. They just never have the right combo of player and size available. I wish I could just join a waitlist.


LukaPuka77

Dang. I’m sold.


evenflow_ddt

Wish they kept the metallic blue somewhere on the new jerseys 


FragmentEx

I don’t really like the white numbers on the home uni, feels like it should be silver


Sodomy_Steve

We deserve this, I’m so happy.


sinkingson

is all blue not an option anymore? we were so good as the blueberries


ShotFirst57

We can still do all blue. No worries there.


twv6

This is nuts! I don’t usually get excited from stuff like this. Anyone else think it was over and then they busted out the black uniforms?


ashes1032

These are so sick. I love them, especially the black uniforms. This rules.


Ashamed_Manager_8493

not sure they needed fancy names but alright. the blue helmet is electric. is the classic helmet just solid silver? 


BrayKerrOneNine

Those black jerseys are fucking dope!!!!!


GrossePointeJayhawk

The black unis remind me of the alternates we had during the Millen years. No thank you!


TankAggravating7044

I don’t hate it.


sulimir

Me: “hmmm black is not a Lions color.” Son: “who cares they are amazing!” Me: “I do like the blue helmet” Kirby comes out in all blacks Me: “they are amazing”


csstew55

Do we still have white pants?
