If they are a slight indication.... Please note not one, but 2 tones of gray. Removal of black = addition of a matte dark gray/graphite with a lighter gray, blue, and white as well? The Lions would start looking like a knockoff of the Philadelphia Soul.

Colorwerx has already posted the updates to the Lions' color sheets, which reflect a commitment to simply honolulu blue and silver. 2016: 2017: Im not too sure but I believe that if they were going to use chrome that it would be listed here too, as it is in the Bucs sheet.

oldschoolvikings Posted March 24, 2017 Share Posted March 24, 2017 There's a faction of this community that always gets a chubby at the idea of darker Gray, or double Gray, or charcoal Gray... so much so that some will defend that horrific "blackjays" uniform because of that dull Gray cap. I don't get it. And the lions, with the Honolulu blue, would be an especially poor candidate, IMO. http://dstewartpaint.blogspot.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MJWalker45 Posted March 25, 2017 Share Posted March 25, 2017 The dark grey could be used as trim and work well when meeting white or blue but no more than what you see on Ohio State's regular jerseys or the numbers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I definitely think it can be used in some MLB road uniforms (though most of the ones I saw in the WBC photos really sucked) and there's been plenty of NCAA uniforms that look really good using it (even though it's not appropriate for those particular schools.) I don't think it'd work for the Lions, who I imagine more as a sleek team with lighter silver (like the old chrome bumpers / door handles of cars) and blue, but it's great in many cases.

Sleeper66 Posted March 29, 2017 Share Posted March 29, 2017 Looks like chrome facemasks (and not thrilled about the wordmark on the shoulder): Also looks like an irregular helmet stripe. Blast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course there's a chrome mask... of course there's a sleeve wordmark. Of course. What kind of nonsense do you think they've pulled out for the pants?

WavePunter Posted March 29, 2017 Share Posted March 29, 2017 Metallic silver is a legitimate option in the standard powder coat facemask material, so there's still at least some hope that it's not chrome.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Life is just so full of disappointment. I'm now ready to accept that the Rams of 2019 will wear metallic gold and white as their primary colors, with chrome gold helmets.

Jezus_Ghoti Posted March 29, 2017 Share Posted March 29, 2017 Kinda looks like they took these sleeve stripes and made them the helmet stripe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OnWis97 Posted March 29, 2017 Share Posted March 29, 2017 Bad start. The "Lions" on the shoulder is very reminiscent of the Bucs. Was hoping for a blue mask...gray is also suitable. Very disappointed in the helmet stripe. I wanted that to look exactly like it did in Barry's era.

The lack of taste in the NFL runs rampant. Wouldn't be surprised if the pants sported Lion tails... real tails attached to the asses of the pants.

Blue throwbacks for the alt, and all grey with blue sleeve caps and sleeve wordmark for color rush Maybe... I hope you're right about the sleeve wordmark only appearing on the gray alt, but I don't think so. Looking close at the sleeve of the blue (non-throwback) primary I think you can see a wordmark inside of that stripe, too. I think it's a blue jersey with gray northwestern stripe, with a blue (trimmed in white) wordmark embedded, and a gray jersey with blue NW stripe, with a white (probably trimmed in gray) wordmark embedded. Numbers appear to be white w/ gray trim on blue, and white w/ blue trim on gray. http://dstewartpaint.blogspot.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It almost looks like it could be blue NW stripes with the white wordmark embedded.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could mean nothing... or could be a sign that the chrome and/or reflective effects are going to be part of the roll out. http://dstewartpaint.blogspot.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
