shaydre1019 Posted April 14, 2017 Share Posted April 14, 2017 So do they socks not have white bottoms? I'll be really disappointed if that's the case. Solid socks look very amateur. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sleeper66 Posted April 14, 2017 Share Posted April 14, 2017 According to one of the Lions' beat writers, the blue pants are a road option, not part of the default road set. What I suspected, but still good to know that won't be an 8-times-a-year look for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curtos07 Posted April 14, 2017 Share Posted April 14, 2017 My thoughts as a Lions fan: Throwbacks: Awesome. I wish they were our main unis. Home and away: I like it, except for the sleeves. Wish the facemask were blue, but it's no big deal. Glad the black is gone. Love the blue pants for their road set. Overall, it's an improvement over their previous set. Color rush: Complete and utter trash. I hope they only wear these once a season. It's the only uniform in this set that I don't like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
habsfan1 Posted April 14, 2017 Share Posted April 14, 2017 The uniforms are quite beautiful, except for that unnecessary LIONS script inside of the arm stripes. Remove the wordmark and they'd be even better. The complete removal of black was the right move. The grey facemask & the duotone striping were very good choices. At least they learned from the Browns what not to do, when putting together the pieces of a new uniform design. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The home numbers are silver, trimmed in anthracite (dark steel grey). http://www.detroitlions.com/news/article-1/Lions-unveil-new-uniforms/3fbedb1c-7b8a-4506-b0b4-dcf7d27cb883 I thought they were white as well.

upperV03 Posted April 14, 2017 Share Posted April 14, 2017 1 minute ago, BJ Sands said: They have gray striped pants, gray plain pants and then darker gray plain pants. Seems a bit much. Better than adding white pants IMO, but I agree it does seem a bit much. They should've just made the Color Rush jersey the lighter gray color so they could be used with the regular gray pants with the blue stripes. But again I'd much rather them have the three sets of gray pants than introducing white pants, so I'm fine with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Posted April 14, 2017 Share Posted April 14, 2017 I love these uniforms. Although I could've done without the initials on the sleeve and I'm not a fan of the number font. But I will be getting a color rush when they come out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aawagner011 Posted April 14, 2017 Share Posted April 14, 2017 http://news.nike.com/news/detroit-lions-new-uniform This page gives a good recap. I like these more than the last set but they're not as good as they could have been. The removal of black is great and I think they nailed the colors. Number font is fine but also not great. Call it meh. If you have to have a gray Color Rush, blue numbers would make a world of difference. Right now, that entirely gray uniform is bland because it's all gray and white with tiny doses of blue. Liven it up a bit. White trim would be appreciated, possibly between the blue and silver stripes. I could live with the Lions wordmark, but the way the WCF is treated differently really bugs me. The fact it overlaps the stripes looks cheap and almost like a one year tribute thing, rather than a perma-memorial. Solid blue socks will be cool, but they need to avoid the blue/blue look for pants and socks together. I grade it out as B-. Decent, but could have been much better. Still nicer to look at than the black. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aawagner011 Posted April 14, 2017 Share Posted April 14, 2017 Looks like they copy and pasted the exact NOB font, which is interesting given that it's a pretty unique font for that application. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
