habsfan1 Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 I would tweak the helmet stripe. But the side panels that's a good idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
8BW14 Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 I do like this concept too. It's simple and straightforward. I like the striping pattern but I'd use it only on jerseys and socks. Add a traditional brashier stripe on the helmet and pantsand it would be perfect, but if this is what the lions rolled out, I'd be more than satisfied.

(this is also why i used blue pants )but i think going back to a Braisher stripe would be a bad move for that Cowboys tie-in reason. the Lions haven't had that stripe in, i don't know when they changed. . .15 years or so? so, the middle of the helmet presents an opportunity for an original brand identifier. Plus, you have to think of these things as part of a set– so the 4th part of my set would be a Sanders era throwback uniform. and i believe when you have a throwback, it has to be different enough from the primary that people notice it. if it's only a slight change, then whats the point? so here's the full set one more note: the NOB is smaller than usual and the wide tracking of the "Detroit Lions" wordmark on the chest was all inspired by old car badges. going back a few pages, this is what i was talking about with using the auto industry to inspire an idea without screaming it GRAPHIC ARTIST BEHANCE / MEDIUM / DRIBBBLE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
8BW14 Posted February 27, 2017 Share Posted February 27, 2017 Makes sense to me, I really appreciate that you are able to articulate your process so well. It shows how much thought you put into your designs and I really respect that, even though I don't always agree 100% with your finished product. Your work is always very professional and thorough, plus it gives everyone on here something to talk about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One thought though: instead of fighting so hard to keep the striping consistent with all the extra outlines, what if you just used a two stripe pattern, with the stripes always being the two colors that aren't the background color? So, on blue pants, you'd have a white stripe, blue space, silver stripe.. Etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old School Fool Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 The only change the Lions should have for their helmet is a blue facemask. I would accept a chrome facemask on account of them being in Detroit, but really, they need to just stick to what they've always done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMO, the triangular pattern is definitely a nod to the truss work at Ford Field, and a further extension to Detroit's industrial heritage. I think we definitely see this on the the uniforms in some way. Maybe as small trim, on the helmet strip, or subliminally patterned on numerals or striping.

It's possible the uniforms numerals could appear bolted on to the uniforms.

BrianLion Posted March 23, 2017 Share Posted March 23, 2017 Knowing the Lions ownership and management, there isn't going to be some crazy Bucs/Jags type changes done to the uniforms. I'd really expect the removal of black and a return to more of a traditional look, and that's about it. Brandon's design up top is probably pretty close to what I'd expect the final result to be.

HOOVER Posted March 23, 2017 Share Posted March 23, 2017 I think the most curious element of that graphic from the Lions' website that you're overlooking is the 2nd shade of Grey. Perhaps they will take a cue from Tennessee's Smokey Mountain Grey set, and mix Anthracite in with Silver & Honolulu Blue. That would give things some depth and no one else, unless you count the Buccaneers' new Pewter, is using it. Chrome, if anywhere, does make sense for this team...but I think that fad is dying.
