CS85 Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 For the most part, I agree with Paul. The Lions uniforms are circling the drain at a time when it would've been nice to return to their roots. I guess we'll have to wait another few years. Quote "You are nothing more than a small cancer on this message board.

DallasSports Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 I bet to the normal person, those uniforms look almost exactly the same. It really doesn't look too too different aside from striping... as if anybody who doesn't care about uniforms pays a lot of attention to that anyways.

Sodboy13 Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 I don't mind the black trim at all, now that the Lions have actually figured out how to use it properly. This set has its flaws, yes, but it's an improvement over what they previously wore, and I don't get the hate. All I can figure is that Paul must be part of the group that sports a Cialis-style boner every time he sees the Lions' terrible throwback/practice uniforms, and won't settle for anything else than a return to utter drabness.

IceCap Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 I don't mind the black trim at all, now that the Lions have actually figured out how to use it properly.This. The blue, silver, and black scheme is a good one. The last uniforms were a mess, not because they contained black, but because they added black without bothering to integrate it into the uniforms. Now the black is integrated and it looks much better. The only thing I don't care for is the number font. A simpler, modified version of the traditional block font would have done wonders here. I don't get the hate for the wordmark. At least it's not a generic Broncos/Falcons/Bengals/Seahawks/Texans/nu Jaguars copy. On top of that, I really don't see how it's any worse then Minnesota's classic wordmark. The difference of course is that Minnesota's has tradition behind it. Objectively I don't think the Lions' wordmark is any goofier then the Vikings'.

IceCap Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 I don't think a black alt is in the cards. IIRC those were the brainchild of Matt Millen. I think the throwbacks are here to stay as the official Lions' alts.

JQK Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 Lions draft hat with new logothe raised stitching gives the logo a great quality. If they could take some of the highlights from that and transfer it to the logo, it would make a big difference. Subtle detail that is not too jumbled, and enhances the overall look....i may have to play around with this... TO ILLUSTRATOR!

AAO Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 Just meh. Looks good embroidered though! Wordmark isn't bad. The lines in the mane are useless.

Korkie Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 The embroidery gives it even greater depth and effect in the mane and torso. JQK hit the nail on the head, as usual.
