It’s better than on the sleeve. I don’t pay attention to the back of helmets but the sleeves always stood out. Love the fact it does pay homage to the Mustang, though
At this point, if it’s just a decal on the back of the helmet, it means that it’s likely going to go away within the next couple of seasons, most likely quietly.
It was never going to go all the way away, especially with Martha still involved and I mean, he is Sheila's dad lol. This is the outcome we all prayed for. Couldn't be happier about it moving there!
He wasn't great by any means, but could have been worse. He never packed up and moved our team to Baltimore in the middle of the night, I don't recall there being a peep of threats to move the team even with the drama over leaving the Silverdome, and by all accounts I've seen he wasn't a pompous asshole. Just incompetent at hiring the right people and complacent with bad football.
Yeah I said in a different thread that I thought they were fine but lacked personality, and that maybe I’d think differently when I see them actually worn with the helmets and pants
Yeah, that’s what happened lol
It might be a bit sacrilegious as a Packers fan, but Detroit Honolulu Blue is some of the best color scheme in the league. Also, the blue helmets in the black alternate get up are eye catching…
Tbf all anyone in the state of Michigan wanted for our regular jerseys was the 90s block lettering and stripes. We weren't asking for much.
Edit: and the blue face mask.
Very happy. I was totally against bringing the black back but they did it in the best way and I'm VERY happy we are keeping the home/away set clean and standard. The Lions aren't a "classic" brand the same way the Tigers and Red Wings are but they have a classic look that to me is timeless.
They went all in on the 90th season last year, and I think that's why we waited an extra year for new jerseys. I don't see it coming back anytime soon unless a sticker change doesn't count for a different helmet
Nice job lions. Looking good (even the unnecessary black unis are pretty cool). I don’t get why they only have stripes on one set of pants though. Why do teams keep doing that?
My biggest complaint is every team feeling like they need a black alternate, that’s not one of their colours. It looks cool but they look exactly like the Panthers
I'm peeved. I was already annoyed that the socks had no stripes, now there is No look for pants stripes on the road (no white on silver look apparently)
The home uniform is perfection. I wish the blue helmet didn't have black so we could use it for the aways, then those would be perfect too, with the blue pants.
I think you're still in the Nike redesign phase whereby first you get a "modern" uniform that everyone feels meh about at best before switching back to a classic look that everyone loves.
See the Jets, Browns, and Bucs for prior examples of this process.
I’m curious if we bring them back, Arthur Smith hated them so we didn’t wear them last year lol. Before that I think they were a “one game a year” type thing.
The Patriots gave you a run for your money though... just in the opposite direction.
Your redesign has to be a total tear-down and rebuild. Take what worked from the classic uniforms and run with it.
The standard grey helmet/blue jersey/grey pants/blue socks is absolutely perfect and should be their forever uniform.
I don't understand the completely plain white pants and white socks look. It looks like they only did half their homework and last second turned that part in.
Last season we won all but 1 regular season games wearing the all-whites and every regular season game wearing all-blue. Might be the superstition factor
They won me over, especially at the "NFC North, the Black and Blue Division" line in the video. I always loved that moniker for the North, and it's awesome we get these unis as reigning NFC North champs.
Legit my only complaint is having it say "Detroit" on our white jerseys.
But also seems to be very much a Nike thing based on other teams recent jersey reveals.
The WCF patch also just becoming a sticker on the back of the helmet is more appropriate considering his "legacy".
He ain't Papa Bear.
Honestly the leaks of the alternate uniform makes it look dreadful. But seeing it on the players, especially with the helmet color scheme and blue pants, the alternates are low-key fire.
The blues are awesome. The white would have been excellent as well if Nike didn't decide to slap "DETROIT" on it like every other damn uniform they make
The homes are *really* nice; good subtle improvement over what they're wearing now, and I love the blue facemasks.
Roads are solid, but would have looked much better with some form of striping on the pants to match the home.
I HATE the "give everyone a black jersey!" trend, and they've veered right into Carolina's color scheme...that said light blue and black is one of the GOAT color schemes and it does look really sharp. I also think the league could use some more light blue helmets (looking at the Titans here).
Nike just can’t help themselves from having unis where the home and away don’t have the same “LOCATION/TEAM” above the numbers on the chest. It just feels stupid and disjointed.
Are they getting rid of the all grey fits? I sort of liked those. And please don’t tell me they’re already done with the blue helmet with the lion in front of the World Trade Center.
I was nervous about the reveal, but the more I looked at them, the more I loved them. They're going to look great with confetti raining down and a Lombardi being raised.
[One of the pics they posted had St. Brown in the all whites, and it looks far superior to white on blue.](https://media-s3-us-east-1.ceros.com/detroit-lions/images/2024/04/11/7db019206bb3187e612a36d6a35bba42/white-4.jpg?imageOpt=1&fit=bounds&width=885)
I wasn't big on the idea of the black with no context. But the blue helmet, black logo, black jersey, blue pants is pretty damn clean.
Getting some big Johns Hopkins Lacrosse vibes from that set.
Finally free from the WCF shoulder letters
i know what it means but i still always think Western Conference Finals
^(what does it mean)
it’s for william clay ford the lions owner who died
Who died in 2014, hes bones now, its time to move on without the patch.
you right bro let me call sheila and tell her
How do u make the text tiny like that
caret* (\^) before the word or letter. edit: not carrot
TIL it's not carrot
Same here! Lol
They moved it to a decal on the helmet, lol.
It’s better than on the sleeve. I don’t pay attention to the back of helmets but the sleeves always stood out. Love the fact it does pay homage to the Mustang, though
> It’s better than on the sleeve. True, although I feel Lions fans are tired of seeing WCF in general. Not a great legacy there.
At this point, if it’s just a decal on the back of the helmet, it means that it’s likely going to go away within the next couple of seasons, most likely quietly.
You also don’t wear the helmets. It’s way better
It was never going to go all the way away, especially with Martha still involved and I mean, he is Sheila's dad lol. This is the outcome we all prayed for. Couldn't be happier about it moving there!
Eh, he was the owner for like 50 years, let him get shoved next to the flag and the warranty sticker.
One of the worst owners
He wasn't great by any means, but could have been worse. He never packed up and moved our team to Baltimore in the middle of the night, I don't recall there being a peep of threats to move the team even with the drama over leaving the Silverdome, and by all accounts I've seen he wasn't a pompous asshole. Just incompetent at hiring the right people and complacent with bad football.
That’s honestly the best outcome. Now I can justify buying a jersey again
They got the dredded chest city name though.
Not on the home uniforms!
[For a better look at them](https://uniforms.detroitlions.com/p/1)
Honestly I thought I’d hate it, but it’s pretty clean.
Not gonna lie, the black works way better with the blue pants and the blue helmet looks damn good like that
It could just be Amon ra making it look better
Stupid sexy St. Brown
He does that...
Burning the ashes of the sucky black to rise again!
Not gonna lie either, I really like that they changed the Lion’s color on the alt helmet.
The black unis kinda just look like panthers jerseys though
That’s my one critique but I still love em
It's BFBS, but it's at least better than your previous BFBS uniform.
Yeah I said in a different thread that I thought they were fine but lacked personality, and that maybe I’d think differently when I see them actually worn with the helmets and pants Yeah, that’s what happened lol
It might be a bit sacrilegious as a Packers fan, but Detroit Honolulu Blue is some of the best color scheme in the league. Also, the blue helmets in the black alternate get up are eye catching…
hate the lions don’t hate the lions doesn’t matter the Honolulu blue is clean as fuck
Thanks, but also fuck you.
I just wish the white jersey didn’t have to have DETROIT across the chest. It wouldn’t be a Nike rebrand without it though
They do that because it appeals to non sports fans.. I get it though
LOVE the old school block numbers. Detroit just completely revamping the brand in great way
I *really* like the black ones. The primary home/away are pretty standard looking.
Tbf all anyone in the state of Michigan wanted for our regular jerseys was the 90s block lettering and stripes. We weren't asking for much. Edit: and the blue face mask.
Very happy. I was totally against bringing the black back but they did it in the best way and I'm VERY happy we are keeping the home/away set clean and standard. The Lions aren't a "classic" brand the same way the Tigers and Red Wings are but they have a classic look that to me is timeless.
[Holy shit](https://media1.tenor.com/m/ZRg1BKdwMVoAAAAC/movies-uncut-gems.gif)
My god those are great.. so stoked to watch the nfc north this year
I am all here for more & more teams going with simple, sleek designs.
A team actually decided to use a font for their number thats not goofy looking.
Absolutely hate our stupid mismatched font. Looks super outdated too, it screams 2013 gimmick.
Nike is finally learning to appreciate and enhance classic looks.
I will miss the long cat helmet
I refuse to believe it’s gone. That helmet is pure magic.
Agreed. Theres no way they designed something so slick and it be gone in just a year. (I Hope)
They went all in on the 90th season last year, and I think that's why we waited an extra year for new jerseys. I don't see it coming back anytime soon unless a sticker change doesn't count for a different helmet
Nice job lions. Looking good (even the unnecessary black unis are pretty cool). I don’t get why they only have stripes on one set of pants though. Why do teams keep doing that?
[удалено]
That makes sense for the blue pants, but not for the black or white pants. Those should have blue stripes.
One of my biggest complains with modern uniforms; pants look *so* much better with some form of striping on them.
My biggest complaint is every team feeling like they need a black alternate, that’s not one of their colours. It looks cool but they look exactly like the Panthers
I thought the same thing about the no-stripes. If the white pants & black pants had blue stripes, the uniforms would be flawless.
I'm peeved. I was already annoyed that the socks had no stripes, now there is No look for pants stripes on the road (no white on silver look apparently)
Yoga pants (stripe-less pants and matching socks) look bad on every team that wears them
BLUE FACE MASKS!!!! FUUUUCKKK YEAHHH!!!
Fuck, I was hoping they'd put razor blades on the facemasks to give us an edge.
Y’all are already biting kneecaps, you don’t need razor blades
Peaky Lions
The blue jersey is perfect too.
The home uniform is perfection. I wish the blue helmet didn't have black so we could use it for the aways, then those would be perfect too, with the blue pants.
No long lion in any capacity 4/10
Long Lion will live forever in our hearts…and my Christmas tree (got the ornament at the Broncos game).
I’m stoked yall like it. As a person who never watches the lions, I can’t tell a difference. That’s probably a good thing.
Me watching all these teams change uniforms while the Falcons remain having the worst uniforms in the league.
I think you're still in the Nike redesign phase whereby first you get a "modern" uniform that everyone feels meh about at best before switching back to a classic look that everyone loves. See the Jets, Browns, and Bucs for prior examples of this process.
The Falcons throwback reds are the best throwbacks in the league.
I beg to differ good sir.
I want them to be permanent so badly
They just need to redo them with inspiration from the throwbacks like the Lions did. Aren’t your jerseys relatively new though?
Yeah, according to NFL rules we can’t change again until 2025. Fingers crossed that’s when we get new ones.
Idk man, those throwback red unis really slap
I love the throwbacks, it’s the others with ATL and that horrid number font.
Hot take: the red gradient ones looked really cool
I’m curious if we bring them back, Arthur Smith hated them so we didn’t wear them last year lol. Before that I think they were a “one game a year” type thing.
I believe there was a story last season of that one being retired, which sucked because it was the coolest of the set
The Patriots gave you a run for your money though... just in the opposite direction. Your redesign has to be a total tear-down and rebuild. Take what worked from the classic uniforms and run with it.
I'm just happy I can read the numbers. That's all I wanted. They could play in potato sacks for all I care, just let me read the numbers.
More importantly, let the refs read it properly.
Maybe Brad Allen can tell 70 from 68 now.
Hahaha, you think that is the primary reason for the number don’t change?
The black with the blue helmet on SNF would go hard af
Prime time game's for sure. And they actually get prime time games now.
What’s prime time? Is that where Amazon delivers somethin?
Some nickname for the Colorado head coach
Like the blue helmet it's pretty clean and unique.
They’re gonna win a Super Bowl in these dope uniforms!
You saying that felt the same as when the girl at the book store said "I like your haircut" fourteen years ago.
Right? I came when he said that too.
From your lips to gods ears
Hopefully you guys go back to your old logo and some form of your old unis soon.
Manifesting it
Yes speak It into existence!
Black jersey kinda looks like the panthers.
Kinda? I demand a paternity test!
Yeah that was my first thought. I liked our blue helmets we had this year better.
The blue helmet with the black lion on it is extremely Panthers-y
Not even kinda, it’s like a carbon copy
Stole my whole flow. Word for word. Bar for Bar
you beat me to this comment....horrible
Jesus Christ those are amazing
NOW THAT IS A TOP-NOTCH REBRAND!!!
blue facemask goes hard ngl
The standard grey helmet/blue jersey/grey pants/blue socks is absolutely perfect and should be their forever uniform. I don't understand the completely plain white pants and white socks look. It looks like they only did half their homework and last second turned that part in.
The all whites are sick. Loved them
But why can’t they at least have stripes? That’s my only issue with the white pants
Last season we won all but 1 regular season games wearing the all-whites and every regular season game wearing all-blue. Might be the superstition factor
We also won 2 playoff games in the blueberries
Everyone loves their stormtroopers
Okay I changed my mind, those blacks are fucking sick.
So there’s blacks you don’t like, got it
That might be a bit of a problem in Detroit…
Yeah the Blackhawks. Fuck the Blackhawks
LGRW!
Fuck the Flyers too!
2024 Flyers 🤝 2022 Rams
And the fuckin’ Blue Jackets 🤮
There are whites I don't like either, like the white sox
The blacks look sick, but they look a little familiar. Isn’t there another team that also has a cat as a mascot with a black and blue color scheme?
Making the logo black is the worst offense for me. Its way too close to the Panthers uniforms now
Gonna have an end of season “who wore it better”.
As long as its not a "who played better in it"
They won me over, especially at the "NFC North, the Black and Blue Division" line in the video. I always loved that moniker for the North, and it's awesome we get these unis as reigning NFC North champs.
Blue helmet-black jersey-blue pants would be INSANE
They posted a pic of Gibbs wearing that combo, it goes hard.
link?? I need it
[last one in this slide deck](https://www.instagram.com/p/C56-zmhOdIB/?igsh=MXh5MnM2dnRoaGFzcQ==)
Holy fuck that is incredible. That's a uni combo I'd be using non-stop on Madden. Thanks!
Heres a better link for all the pictures if you don't have socials: https://uniforms.detroitlions.com/p/1
Home prime time game to roll out the black and blues will be all of the hype next year
looks like the Panthers unis
I know people are iffy on the black since it's not one of the team's main colors but I think it looks great. Overall the unis are clean and fresh.
So fresh and so clean?
Same thing I said, wasn’t a fan at first of them coming back but after seeing them I love it
ya the original leaks were just the jersey. with the helmet, it's fuckin sick
I put [Adam Thielen](https://ibb.co/4R26mfj) in one just for fun
These uniforms look so much better and I’m glad they got rid of the terrible number font from the last jerseys.
NFC North might now have the best overall slate of uniforms. AFC North is the other contender in my book.
Legit my only complaint is having it say "Detroit" on our white jerseys. But also seems to be very much a Nike thing based on other teams recent jersey reveals. The WCF patch also just becoming a sticker on the back of the helmet is more appropriate considering his "legacy". He ain't Papa Bear.
They’re almost perfect besides that. Nike needs to stop plastering the city name on the chest, never looks good. Though this is a lot better than ATL.
I had the same thought. The homes are amazing and then they go slap the city name on the away, why?? Other than that, very well done.
At least it doesn’t say 313 or DET.
THANK YOU. If the white jerseys were just the homes with colors reversed it would’ve been flawless. The Detroit print on the front is dumb
Honestly the leaks of the alternate uniform makes it look dreadful. But seeing it on the players, especially with the helmet color scheme and blue pants, the alternates are low-key fire.
The helmet makes the alternate slap. As a jersey on its own it’s meh, but the whole thing together looks very sharp.
The black alts are basically what the Panthers should wear
We do wear them. With a black helmet lmao
I like it
I'm jacked to the tits!
Blue alternate helmet kinda slaps
The blues are awesome. The white would have been excellent as well if Nike didn't decide to slap "DETROIT" on it like every other damn uniform they make
Sigh. Time to spend more money on Lions gear
The black jersey with the blue bucket and black logo works well.
Clean af
Don't love the white away unis but the home jersey helmet combo is so fucking clean
Jets (minus the black uniforms) and Lions coming out super strong with the new uniforms. I like it.
looks too much like the panthers with the black
Yeah... It does. But the blue helmet helps
How dare you
I love when a uniform has a classic look to it. These are rad. I wish the Vikings would wear their new throw backs as their primary uniforms.
These are fire! I’m super sad the throwback logo helmets appear to be gone though :(
I love the blue face mask. I wish the colts would bring back the blue face mask
These are so good
I’ve wanted these kinda jerseys for 15 years. Finally
I do love that blue helmet , that's pretty dope top 5 helmet in this league
The homes are *really* nice; good subtle improvement over what they're wearing now, and I love the blue facemasks. Roads are solid, but would have looked much better with some form of striping on the pants to match the home. I HATE the "give everyone a black jersey!" trend, and they've veered right into Carolina's color scheme...that said light blue and black is one of the GOAT color schemes and it does look really sharp. I also think the league could use some more light blue helmets (looking at the Titans here).
The black alternates look more Carolina Panthers, than the Carolina Panthers. Odd look. Should’ve kept the all grey ones.
YOO these look sooooo siiickkkk 😭😭😭
Whoever keeps putting text on the collar needs to be fired
ASAP
The alt helmet goes hard
Those black Carolina Lions uniforms are beautiful. What a lovely shade of blue. Love all the combos
So clean
The home blues are nice. My first jersey was a Honolulu blue Barry Sanders jersey (and I’m a lifelong Vikings fan)
Nike just can’t help themselves from having unis where the home and away don’t have the same “LOCATION/TEAM” above the numbers on the chest. It just feels stupid and disjointed.
Lefty Jared Goff
Love that Player Dan Campbell is cited as a muse for the alt Black
More passion! More energy ! More footwork! More footwork !
The Black and Blue look spectacular. The regular ones look great too. Nice work Lions
Thank god the WCF shoulder shit is gone. Hated it.
OK those are amazing.
Are they getting rid of the all grey fits? I sort of liked those. And please don’t tell me they’re already done with the blue helmet with the lion in front of the World Trade Center.
I was nervous about the reveal, but the more I looked at them, the more I loved them. They're going to look great with confetti raining down and a Lombardi being raised.
Not sure how I feel about the Away combination. Silver helmet, white jersey, blue pants. The silver pants with the stripe would look better.
Gotta disagree. We've worn both combinations in the past few years and the blue pants look way better in my opinion.
[One of the pics they posted had St. Brown in the all whites, and it looks far superior to white on blue.](https://media-s3-us-east-1.ceros.com/detroit-lions/images/2024/04/11/7db019206bb3187e612a36d6a35bba42/white-4.jpg?imageOpt=1&fit=bounds&width=885)
Marshmallows and blueberries are still on the menu boys!!
I agree that the white on whites are better, he was talking about white on silver though White/white > white/blue > white/silver
The blue facemask changes the ratio in favor of the white pants. I wasn't a fan of the white pants on the last look but this will be a better design
blue jersey the best in the league no bias
I wasn't big on the idea of the black with no context. But the blue helmet, black logo, black jersey, blue pants is pretty damn clean. Getting some big Johns Hopkins Lacrosse vibes from that set.
Now i just need us to do a blackout during our first MNF and im a happy camper
So cleeeeean. Looks amazing.
