BlazerBlaze Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 True but when it's a confirmed brand overhaul for a particular team we've given it their own thread. I'm excited to see what the new uniforms look like. I didn't hate the current ones but the stripes just never really did it for me. Looked forced for some reason. Hopefully the number font will go back to something more traditional. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScubaSteve Posted February 2, 2017 Share Posted February 2, 2017 Kudos to the Lions for progressively updating their logo ever so slightly throughout their history to finally get to, what I believe, is their best logo. On the flip side, it's a shame that NFL wordmarks are becoming more and more generic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe in a few year's they'll change the wordmark. Either way, I could not be happier about the blue and silver.

Old Blue on left, new Blue on right-- Yeah, but is that them refining the shade they use for reproduction, or are they changing the actual color of the jerseys? Lucas doesn't say. That blue on the left looks a lot darker than Honolulu Blue. The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chawls Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 Best uniform in team history IMO. NO black, TV numbers on the shoulders, blue face masks, and white shoes. Here's to hoping the new uniforms look similar. Quote If you hadn't noticed, Chawls loves his wrestling, whether it be real life or sim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OnWis97 Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 I agree. I love the traditional helmet stripes and hope they don't stick with the thinner ones. I'd anticipate a gray facemask, but the blue looks so good. Get close to this and they're gold.

BrandMooreArt Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 i have to start with what im going to get into is all speculation on my part and i have no inside knowledge on what the team is actually doing. i believe we'll see a new home, road, alt (throwback), and color rush uniform on the unveil. helmet: i think we're going to see a blue facemask, and a new stripe design (maybe no stripe). i don't expect a return of the Braisher stripe, or a gray mask because of the similarities that has to the Cowboys helmet. im most excited to see how they handle that aspect and seperate Detroit from Dallas. it will be harder without black. They also need to keep the Rams, Chargers, and Colts in mind. jerseys: safe bet we'll get new blue and white, but what's the Alt? very hard to say, but im going with the 1930s throwback (blank helmet and silver numbers). the reason i say this is because if it's a throwback, it needs to be one that is different enough from the new primary uniform to be worth doing. i believe the new uniforms will lean towards the Barry Sanders era uniforms, so it wouldnt make sense to have a throwback thats only slightly different from that one. i think the new wordmark is an indication of a numbers/font. the new word mark isn't really much of a logo; to me it looks like they created a font, then typed out the team name. i think we'll see that on a lot of marketing pieces, and i think the numbers will be set in this new font as well. Nike loves crazy numbers too. pants/socks: surely the socks will be plain, solid tops. i think we'll see gray and blue pants. im thinking of how they're going to do something new with the uniform, and besides the numbers, this is a good way to introduce something fresh. it would also allow the team to stand out against all those previously mentioned teams; Honolulu blue pants won't be confused for anyone else. color rush: if the primary and throwback alt are blue, there's no way they do another blue jersey for color rush. they just brought back the black jersey this year knowing they were dumping it in 2017. i think the CR uniform will be silver.

bowld Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 Nike is obsessed with Anthricate and seems to make a gray uniform combo for all of their teams. I wonder if on top of Silver they will have a darker shade of Gray Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rmackman Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 They almost nailed it. I'd have made one little tweak...getting rid of the lines in his mane...

johnnysama Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 I'd love to see the Lions wear a modified version of the 1999-2002 uniforms (w/the updated lion). That would make me happy. I could not be more happier about the news the Lions are getting rid of the black accents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Genius is knowing which half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
