SO SAD NEWS FROM DETROIT LIONS TODAY………

DETROIT – Funny story. I was out doing a story on the new Lions jerseys Thursday and one guy said they may have been leaked online. I Googled it and a few things popped up. Turns out, what he and others thought were the new jerseys were not.

But, oddly enough, some of the images that appeared turned out to be the ones that the Lions confirmed Thursday. At the time, though, I immediately dismissed them, thinking, “They’d NEVER go back to these.”

Oh, how wrong I was.

The current uniforms are simply the best I’ve seen in my lifetime from my hometown team. For as long as I can remember, I’ve looked at teams with cool uniforms — the Cowboys, Chargers, Dolphins, Raiders — and thought, how hard is it to take a perfect color scheme and potentially an excellent logo and put it all together?

And while they’re not perfect, to me, the current jerseys always popped. The modern look of the name and number and fonts shot them up to being some of the best in the league, in my opinion.

Maybe it’s because I associate the old uniforms with the old Lions, and the new uniforms with all the new success. But I just can’t believe how many commenters on social media love these “new” jerseys. They went from sleek to stodgy with those big block numbers.

Are you telling me you can’t see the name LONG where it should read GOFF?

This was such a simple update. If you combined the two — you’d have something everybody can love.

The home uniform, called “One Pride,” features the iconic Honolulu blue jersey with white and gray trim and the phrase “ONE PRIDE” inscribed inside the collar of the jersey. The white away uniform, named “The 313,” is trimmed with blue and gray and features a “313” wordmark. New this year is the Lions wearing “DETROIT” across their chest at away games.

Detroit reintroduced the silver helmet that includes a blue face mask and a permanent sticker paying tribute to William Clay Ford.

The team said it is also keeping the classic uniform with a “refreshed blue” and numbers in gray with no outline and gray pants, paying homage to the late 1950s team.
