Out of the blue, Detroit Lions rolled out new uniforms to the masses. Lions did not change much from what they’ve done in the past besides add a full color rush gray uniform and go away from the black entirely. Detroit is bringing back the memories of the Honolulu blue that’s been etched in Lions lore for the last several decades. Let’s take a look at these and see what we like and don’t like.

I love the fact they are going with blue pants for Away games versus the silver. We have way too many NFL teams with silver pants so that’s a plus for Detroit. With their alternates, I love the throwback and hope it’s used for more than just Thanksgiving although I’d like if that’s their Thanksgiving gear until further notice. I can’t stand the all gray from the video or picture. I’ll need that in person before a judgement is made there. The mismatch on the sleeves is interesting, but I don’t really care either way. GRADE: B+ – Color rush takes it down a notch.
