Detroit Lions' new unis

Taken from DetroitLions.com:

Not a whole lot of difference to the helmet. I guess the face mask looks good.

Ksyrup · 04-23-2003, 04:37 PM

Who'd you say? Carolina?

Uh-oh. Another thing for Al Davis to sue over.

Doesn't the white jersey look like Carolina's? I can almost picture Rae Carr...well, I can almost picture Kerry Collins tossing back a few cold ones on the drive home.

Considering the logo some faggoty (TM)(Ben Lewis) graphics designers proposed last year for the Lions, I am so happy that they stuck with their traditional logo and uniforms, with a little embelishment in the trim (which a lot of teams have done over the years). I woud have sworn off the NFL if they had gone with the faggoty (TM)(Ben Lewis) two-tone uniforms like the new Bills and Titans.

Taken from the Eagle's book of popular merchandizing: "Change the uniforms as little as humanly possible and still be able to tell, or at least the fans will -- fans of other teams won't (that is, be able to tell, or care) -- and sell more jerseys for your sad squad. Oh, and by the way, make it metallic looking."

Craptacular · 04-23-2003, 05:06 PM

They should just go with the throwbacks Barry Sanders used to look good in.

Kodos · 04-23-2003, 05:10 PM

The uniforms would look better with ol' Barry stuffed into 'em. But then, Barry left the game with his legs intact. How many running backs get to say that?

Fritz · 04-23-2003, 05:11 PM

yawn. if this is all you get, why change?

mckerney · 04-23-2003, 05:17 PM

Seahawks?

Draft Dodger · 04-23-2003, 05:23 PM

can I go back to not caring about the Lions again?

cmp · 04-23-2003, 05:36 PM

It might only be a small change but I like it.

LloydLungs · 04-23-2003, 06:06 PM

Carolina maybe, I think it's more Boston/New Orleans/Portland Breakers-esque. Which looks pretty good.

Adamski47 · 04-23-2003, 06:10 PM

Did anyone else notice what number the mascot was wearing? Charlie Rogers? GO LIONS!!!!!!!

Kodos · 04-23-2003, 06:13 PM

I thought Charlie Rogers would look more athletic than that. He needs to get back in shape and shave, or his stock in the draft may fall...

No.

Joe Stallings · 04-23-2003, 06:50 PM

The new unis look exactly the same to me.

ISiddiqui · 04-23-2003, 07:04 PM

Very nice! I like the minimal change! There is no reason for every team to look the same.

detroit_fan · 04-23-2003, 07:09 PM

Draft Dodger those are fightin words.

ice4277 · 04-23-2003, 07:49 PM

I like the helmets, the homes are ok, but the aways...um, yeah. Hopefully they will grow on me. Well they better since I just ordered a Joey Harrington jersey with the new design.

cthomer5000 · 04-23-2003, 09:36 PM

I'll have to assume Matt Millen was behind this.

"Hey Mr. Ford, Let's re-design the uniforms. We'll barely change them, but defintely make them worse."

I actually really like the new uniforms, even if they do look exactly like Grand Valley State University's.

Wrong Carolina. To me they look more like UNC's uni's than the Panthers...
