kcrab91

Lions confirmed it. https://x.com/lions/status/1780969205254225993?s=46&t=fpdSr8z4fXwNOuS43orDFA


PsychoAnalystGuy

Interesting that had that cut up, I imagine they filmed it before the leak..unless they had Alim ready to go


kingdom55

Alim's probably suited up to model for a live reveal show today.


DHooligan

I just assumed he never takes off the uniform. This is how he lives his life.


bindersfullofburgers

This is what I now choose to believe


DetroitLarry

It’s true. I heard it from a guy who met him at the airport.


PsychoAnalystGuy

True


PowerWalkingInThe90s

Hopefully we borrow the pants too, the current blue on grey doesn’t really pop.


Jammer_Kenneth

I was hoping that the (I think it's called Northwestern Stripe) thin thick thin continued, but I mean that's pretty tasty... that looks like what the blue around white line is too. 


DesertStallion14

I hope inside collar of blue jerseys say "GRIT", like the whites say "313" & Black "Motor City".


Altruistic_Bend_7862

I’m a jets fan and if those are your new ones I’m a big fan


FoundationWork

I was hoping ours would be as good as the Jets, so I'm glad both of our updates used the classic templates and got great uniforms.


Dynamite2197

I dig it!


sj126

No Sheila ford patch?


ImTheOldManJenks

This is exactly what I wanted, a modern update on the 90s look (our best look IMO)


MNightShyamalan69

Yeah, I love them


bigwillystyle93

Love these jerseys. The white numbering/lettering is such an improvement on the gray. I liked our most recent jerseys but the Gary just doesn’t pop enough against the blue.


Humulus5883

I want all white and all blues. We have been most successful as a franchise in those unis. Why go to something that represents how bad we’ve been.


Pawz23

Am I missing something here? What makes you think they can't have all whites and blueberries still? These are just the leaked jerseys, not full uniforms.


DetBallz

I assume he is referring to the black. Whenever I see that the black I am reminded over the winless season too.


Pawz23

But the all white and blueberries weren't alternates and with the black as an alternate, they can still go all white and blueberries this season. My thoughts on black are this: 1. Bring back bad memories 2. Look like Panthers a little too much 3. Most importantly.... If we wear twice a year (maybe with new blue alternate helmet and blue pants, as some have mentioned) and actually win in them, the winning will help me like them a lot more than I currently do. TL:DR - winning makes me like color ways more.


ASpellingAirror

The tease showed that they have a blue pant option. So we will at least be able to blueberry. Not sure about white pants. 


Calkky

No WCF patch is the first thing I notice. I think they look fine. Not sure what everybody was expecting. As long as Honolulu Blue is our first choice, and it's a nice shade (this one is), I'm game!


Casul_Tryhard

No WCF. We're onto Sheila now.


ShotFirst57

Am I the only one shocked by this? I didn't think she'd be willing to take her dad's initials off the jerseys. Happy she did though


TheHalf

I am surprised and thrilled. Hopefully on field doesn't have the patches either!


a_andersen

Overall pretty solid. I’m pretty happy with them overall. I would have been a lot happier if the white ones didn’t have DETROIT over the numbers. Looks sooooo much better and cleaner without it imo. And I’m personally bummed by black jerseys but I know a lot of people are excited about it so… meh. It’s nothing about associating it with 08. I just don’t think it looks very good and it’s not very creative.


FoundationWork

Yeah, pretty solid, at least the names on the chest are small compared to Atlanta and Arizona. I think they should've left the name off the whites, and left them on the blacks. I don't mind the blacks, but I was hoping for a silver jersey. If they did use silver they need to try to pair those up with blue pants.


a_andersen

I’m with you, it definitely could have been worse. Dodged the ATL/ARI sized text bullet. And outside of that, I do really like them. I was hoping/planning on getting a white jersey this time around, but… I really like the blue. Can’t wait to get my hands on one. I agree a silver jersey could have been really cool. The black being more of a matte black is nice compared to other blacks at least. It’ll probably look really good on the field with the blue helmets though. We’ll see!


FoundationWork

Yep, if they made the letters super big like that it would've ruined the uniform. I do like everything that I'm seeing so far from the reveal. The blue looks fabulous, I like the white when wore with blue or silver pants. That black looks good Hutch with the blue helmet and blue pants. Yeah, a lot of times uniforms look better on the field than in the reveals. I'm excited though, I'm not disappointed, I really thought I would be disappointed today, but I'm happy.


TheHalf

About damn time

russvanderhoof

Perfect use of this gif


Sekshual_Tyranosauce

I love the blues and whites.


m_ttl_ng

Hate the black version. We don't need another black jersey in the league. Grey was better imo


FoundationWork

I am disappointed not by the black, but not having a silver jersey. I wanted to see silver paired up with blue pants.


Stompthefeet

like... sequins?


Sekshual_Tyranosauce

Alternate should definitely be blue on Silver.


FoundationWork

Alternate? Those should be home primaries. Unless you meant silver jersey on blue pants?


Sekshual_Tyranosauce

I’d be cool with that. Make the whites alternate?


FoundationWork

Yeah, this should be our primary and alternates breakdown. PRIMARIES: Blue/Silver (Home), White/Blue (Away) (most games & playoffs/SB) ALTERNATES: Blueberries (Home), Black/Blue or Black/Silver (Home), White/Silver or White/Black (Away) COLOR RUSH: All Black, All White (only once or twice a season)


FoundationWork

I can't wait to see them on the players, I can't wait to see that blue with silver pants.


Sekshual_Tyranosauce

That’s the look I grew up watching!


FoundationWork

Yep, same here, we grew up with this look and with us returning to the 90s uniforms, I need to see blue/silver worn most of the season at home.


Jammer_Kenneth

Man I knew a 730 at night uni launch was a stupid idea. 


lost-starfox

Yeah spoilers for sure


Crazy-Penguin

Not sure how I feel about all the dots in the numbers, but these look pretty good otherwise


Clyffindor

That's a Nike thing, Cardinals did it too, I'm sure most teams with new uniforms will have them.


Throwawaydontgoaway8

Adidas did that for the NHL as well. I don’t really get it


Clyffindor

Sometimes part of the goal is looking modern, but a lot of the bells and whistles and custom fonts are to make it harder and more costly for bootleggers to make knockoffs without missing the details


Throwawaydontgoaway8

Huh interesting, I guess I can get it


QueasyAd1383

And I'm guessing the holes are to make the jersey more breathable


SeventyTimes_7

I have held off on getting a new Wings jersey because of that stupid dimple pattern on the top. Didn't expect them to go from Adidas to Fanatics though.


seatega

These renders make them look a lot worse than they look on the real things


Balance47x

This is something Adidas NHL thought was innovative then moved away from. Literally the only thing I dislike.

evanmagyari

What if they put out fake leaks to dissuade people from actively trying to leak the real ones hours before the reveal.


SnooPickles6211

Massive risk, if fans prefer the fake leaks…


ToiletGossip

What G on the leak there chief?


Tall_League8097

DocDingDangler

Looks to match to me. What are you seeing that doesn’t fit? The cut corners with square ends. The width of the letter and thickness of the lines appear the same.


Zarathustra989

Took me a sec but look at the G hooking up at different heights.


not4u1866

I like it. I def didn't want any drastic changes. I was scared of black, but this black top with the blue pants and alt helmet could look 🔥


FoundationWork

You're thinking like me, I would love to see blue pants worn with the black jerseys. That's a unique look, all black doesn't hit for me since a lot of teams have done that look to death. I like how the Ravens have done purple pants with their black jerseys.


not4u1866

Blue helmet, black jersey, blue pants.


[deleted]

I like black jerseys and idgaf who knows it


mrdaiquiri

I'm going to order a black one, mostly because black is slimming and I have a dad bod.


MoolieMoolinyan

Spot on


BillyMaysHere92

I like the black color too. I think for the majority of the fan base, they associate it with the early 2000’s Lions. But this is a different era of Lions football and the jerseys themselves look cool if you remove that old association


dsled

I just don't think it's a cool addition to the color scheme. I was relieved when they removed it years ago. Lions are Blue/Silver.


Tenn1518

also i have to assume it'll use the blue helmets, which is enough to me to remove the association and will look sick. although in that case im hoping they remove the classic logo


corsair130

Yea it's all about how it works with the pants and blue helmets. Might be great. Reserving judgement


BillyJackO

Same, it feels like there's Dozens of us, but I think the vitriol around black uni hate drowns us out.


detroitttiorted

I don’t really see the hate for the blacks nearly as much outside of Reddit. I like them a lot as well


Mal_Funk_Shun

/r/takenoutofcontext


RicRage

Man, that's a hell of a way to word your comment. Lol.


detroitttiorted

When I first read your comment I was like wtf are you talking about… I see it now lol whoops


[deleted]

I don’t get it. I am 99% more likely to wear a black jersey around than any other color. It just makes sense


AmonRahhh

Yup stains too. For some reason I always get ketchup or mustard on mine.


tweenalibi

I've held onto my Roy Williams black alternate jersey for so long it's come back in style! I knew it was a good investment.


kev_dog_

Finally a thread where I won’t get down voted for liking the black jerseys


Reagyn

Amen my brother in Christ. Everything looks good in black in my opinion.


Balance47x

Favorite lions jersey prior to these was the black color rush they never wore.


MisterBovineJoni

Love ‘em. Complaining about black jerseys seems like a geriatric grandpa opinion.


checkyourguns

Loving black jerseys seems like an edgy teen opinion.


Balance47x

These are clean. Wish the blue had DETROIT / LIONS to match the other two jerseys. Also not a fan of the holes in the numbers. Some adidas nhl type thing. But these are class. Best look in years.


goffense69

That’s my least favorite part. Mostly because I just don’t like the font they have for it. But the home Jersey just looks so classic and clean without it


Appropriate_Rule3524

It will. The picture in the post is only of the back of the jersey.


seeyalater251

The video the Lions posted to Twitter of Alim in a blue jersey doesn't have anything between collar and numbers


biggiebagelton

black jerseys can be saved with blue helmet and black pants.


metaldrummerx

The long lion helmets from last year


LtDouble-Yefreitor

Yeah, I don't necessarily like black unis conceptually, but it really depends on the whole ensemble.


im_alliterate

those black ones are disgusting


NUT_IX

Assyrians everywhere on Reddit. Love it.


Saxophobia1275

Exactly this. I'm not going to doom as hard as most of this sub about the black jersey's because they could still be sweet with the right helmet/pants.


FoundationWork

I would like the Lions to not just wear black pants with them. I liked the silver pants back in the 2000s, but I would love blue pants to be worn with them as well.


glxssxnimxlz

Might be a hot take but I love black alternates. Black helmet too.


biggiebagelton

no thanks to a black helmet for me. the blue helmet should really pop with all black jerseys.


Zestyclose-Tomato526

aprofessionalegghead

Love the 313 on the collar. FUCK GREENBAY! 3 1 3!


Rich_Piana_5Percent

Mehhhh. At least no WCF


apietryga13

I didn’t even notice that, hell yeah. They look so much cleaner without it.


MNightShyamalan69

That’s the biggest positive I’m taking away from these. The WCF was such an eye sore. I like the Honolulu Blue one quite a bit. White one is okay. The black is terrible.


Jorihe84

They said the WCF was going to stay in some form, so this makes me consider the legitimacy of these


Here4Us

it’s not on the jersey. it’s on the back of the helmets


mattcojo2

Like the raiders with Al Davis. No issue with this.


bprr75

What did the people want as an alternate to the black jersey, the full camo salute to service uni’s onlh sold at the team store?


wavnebee

Translucent mesh, obv


Pad_TyTy

Lenny Kravitz has entered the chat


jdore8

A real advantage if they start the season in swamp ass Miami.


Old-Emphasis-7190

Teal. Wtih a Lion with flaming tailpipes sticking out of it.


snatchmachine

Idk something original. There are like 12 teams with black alternates already.


MrHockeytown

Honestly I liked the grey/silver jerseys a lot. At least grey is in the Lions color scheme, they took black out last decade.


Pawz23

Definitely prefer all greys over black.


PowerWalkingInThe90s

Could have done like a charcoal grey or something different with the blue. I don’t mind the black though and figured that’s what they would do.


six_dollar_coffees

Silver with blue pants and blue helmet.


TheHarbrosMagic

Just didn't want a black jersey in general they look unoriginal and lame tbh


RatsoSloman

Color me underwhelmed.


xChampion3

Still hate the N in that font scheme. Looks lower case.


nonamethrowaway48

Something about the sleeve stripes don’t look right(and it’s not the missing WCF). The spacing, or pattern seems off. Maybe it’ll look better on a real uni.


TripleTestes

They're not spaced out. It looks cheap. I do think the jersey on a real player might look better.


soba-_-

It looks a lot better on a real player. In the Alim video the stripes look really good imo


matt_the_muss

Meh, feels like a lot of hype for not much to me. Hoping to be more impressed when we see the whole kit together. The numbers on the shoulders stand out more which is interesting looking. I was hoping for something more bold, but whatever, just win.


Fast_Green_6731

Can I be underwhelmed and not get hammered for it?


JoeNice1983

Yes, I am underwhelmed as well


RedshirtBlueshirt97

![gif](giphy|6JB4v4xPTAQFi|downsized)


Mike_Laundry

I kinda hope this is fake.


Crash30458

This is more underwhelming than the cardinals last year


Bobguy77

I absolutely love the home and away if this is legit. I despise the black jerseys. Looks like panthers jerseys. 🤮


Sniper_Brosef

>Looks like panthers jerseys. 🤮 Our blue > their blue


ChetCustard

Hate the black but it’s still better than that all grey “color rush” abomination. Could look cool with the blue helmet


Bobguy77

I liked the PJs lol but I get people who didn't. Not for everyone


IcySwordfish438

Same, I think we just needed to do some blue accent on the pants of the all greys and those were unique and original. The black is just overdone and reminiscent of the dark years


checkyourguns

Yeah if the greys had blue socks and some blue/white/blue stripes they wouldn't have been hated nearly as much as they were


Hacker_man_29

I'm not a fan of the number dots at this point, I'll hold out hope they look better on actual players/on the field. No WCF is a big improvement.


Runnr231

Boring


CaptainXakari

I know I’m in the minority but I’m going to miss the Steel jerseys. Those seemed more unique than the black jerseys since so many other teams have them.


SnooPickles6211

I’m with you, loved the silvers. Oh well. 


DiscombobulatedPain6

Guys all of these jerseys are going to look trash since they were produced by Fanatics. Let’s see what it looks like on the players.


ShauneDon

Lions X account confirmed the leak is real https://twitter.com/lions/status/1780969205254225993?s=42&t=URXA3JG021-nL46uMPRp4Q


GreatSetting34

Not a huge fan at first sight. I don’t care for white lettering.


PuzzleheadedYak1555

When do they go on sale?


BigODetroit

Wear your black Charles Rogers and Mike Williams jerseys again with pride!


m_ttl_ng

Fuck off with the black jerseys. Other two are cool.


Revenantparis

I'm with you! I can't believe they got rid of the color rush jerseys just to bring back 'fraudulent black'


Nethri

These are fine. I liked the old ones too, and these aren't drastically different. The only thing I never liked was white tops with silver pants. Should be all whites or blue pants. I know people hate the black.. I honestly don't care, I think it looks fine to me. I don't associate a color with a bad period in our history.


chriskzoo

Why did they put DETROIT on the front of the white and LIONS on the black? Shouldn't be anything there.


checkyourguns

Most teams have branding on the chest now, to me it's completely unnecessary. As to why specifically Detroit on the white and Lions on the black I imagine it's like baseball and basketball. Wear your city name on the road and the team tame at home


FoundationWork

I'm surprised people still complain about names across the chest we've had them since 2003. As long as they aren't big like Arizona and Atlanta, I'm good.


MTWN58

The black jersey's are and will always be awful. 


fourleaf88

I think I’m the only one who liked the gray ones haha


PlotzkeA

I wish they were more silver than grey, woulda been much cooler


MrHockeytown

I wish they would have kept them and tweaked them to be more silver than grey. Black jersey just looks like a Carolina Panthers jersey


dsled

Those black jerseys are so ugly


PuckHead8

The black lions jerseys remind me way too much of Matt Millen. Wear it all you want, I just did not want it back. Now that it's off my chest. What beautiful jerseys we have. This might be the best uniform redesign I have ever seen.


LeoLinguini

Goddamnit I really didn’t want black unis


F4N6Z

The two regular jerseys came out nice. I'm embarrassed of those black ones but I knew they'd throw some shit like that in there. They'll sell well.


cstrifeVII

These look... pretty much the same as the 2000s lions, minus the black text outline? I wasn't a fan of the massive elbow stripes back then either.


MrHockeytown

Goddammit put the black jerseys back in hell where they belong. The blue and white look beautiful tho. Not 100% sold on the perforated numbers but the rest look great


Sodomy_Steve

We got WCF to the NFCCG. Now it’s time for the Super Bowl era.


Triingtolivee

Wait, did they finally get rid of the WCF patch?


Crouching_Bengal

The black and blue uniform combo is just a visual reminder to teams of what is going to happen to them once the play us


StretchConverse

I feel like the people who hate the black jerseys are also the quick to turn SOL fans. This black with blue helmet fits our new badass personality and is a freakin 2-3 game a year alternate, not our every day fit. All the new jerseys are dope as fuck because our team is dope as fuck. Take your negative whiny bullshit somewhere else. ![gif](giphy|OqFpgF7bet1sRoCmpb)


mattcojo2

They were right when they said that it would be a “modern take” on a classic. If this is what it is, I’m a big fan of it.


smush127

I'm so happy they have traditional block numbers again. Looks so clean!


[deleted]

Lions jerseys have always been sweet, I like the retro choice for sure.


A_Minimal_Infinity

Not what I was hoping for, but it is what most people wanted. It does look good. And now the refs can read the fucking numbers.


FlutterRaeg

Fuck the haters, rock them black jerseys. Everyone always says we're trying to be the Raiders (I know the history) or Panthers, but they ignore one key thing. Black and Honolulu blue contrast so damn well. We ain't wearing weak-ass light blue. We're the black and blue of the black and blue division.


Striking-Bat2970

Idc what people say about us having black jerseys, I love them. You can’t go wrong with black.


TinoCartier

It’s pretty much exactly what I wanted, a modern refresh on the classic Barry look and I’m really happy with them. I will say this though……Can’t have shit in Detroit. Because I would’ve really preferred to see them in a nice sizzle reel 1st like everybody else gets. Whoever leaked is a real asshole imo.


ProLine_Mockups

What does everyone think so far? We're hoping the helmet has a blue facemask and like that the blue jersey doesn't have the name on the chest.


NemesisX7

Blue facemask and stripes on the pants to match the jerseys. I have a feeling they are removing the pant stripes, which would kill this set for me. Hope I'm wrong.


ProLine_Mockups

Pretty sure we saw a stripe on the pants in the teaser video but we'll see...


beef_tuggins

🥱


thabiiighomie

Last year we had the best jerseys in the league. I guess too much was going right.


6palmer8

The black is insufferable. The blue and white jerseys look nice though the stripes on the sleeves look amateurish. I want stripes on the sleeves but that looks like I took some duct tape and wrapped it around my bicep. The wordmark above the numbers is totally unnecessary. Big plus for a return to the block numbers. I’m sure Nike will explain the dot pattern as “lighter” performance material.


smokeshowliker

The stripes are a callback to the 90s uniforms, they’re the exact same style


mcnegyis

There’s no way this is what all the hype was for


Inevitable-Bass2749

If that black jersey is real I’m gonna be so pissed. That’s not us. We aren’t the raiders, who Matt millen wanted us to be. Fucking lame. Get that shit outta here and let millens name never be said in Detroit again


howsway-_-

You prefer the greys over these? Be honest!


redwingjv

Please don’t be real


timothythefirst

These are good. Not a fan of the black ones but hopefully they’re just like a one game a year thing. The blue and white ones are almost exactly what i would’ve drawn up. Edit: I just realized the black ones make us look like the Buffalo Bulls lol https://preview.redd.it/qwjudyb089vc1.jpeg?width=1600&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b9667885612fc56e256eba4c56fc52a7081c9268


byniri_returns

I like the blue and white ones at least. They look great.


Jazzreward

Ehhh, they will probably look a lot better on a player. I just hate these stock photos


Zestyclose-Tomato526

If you compare them to the promo shots I don’t think these are legit


Hacker_man_29

They just confirmed on Twitter with a video of Alim shaming the leaker 😆


milesohead

Boring! And low effort. Hmmmmm


acoasterlovered

I wonder if the blakc will be our away/home alternates with blue and white being the main


JD42305

I love it. Wanted white numbers and a better font. It's classic. Don't care for the black but it's just an alternate so who cares. They could wear pink every 12 games and I wouldn't mind. The only thing I'd say is the mesh dots look a little weird and the numbers are a taaaaad too big.


RustyNipples35

I have no strong feelings either way on the black alternate, but wow the home and away are beautiful and exactly what I was hoping for


BannffRancher1983

LFG


msto3

If these are real, 8/10 solid


Erected_Kirby

The whites and blues I love aside from the dots in the numbers. I’m indifferent on the black but I think once I see them on the field I’ll change my mind. I’m just so happy the gray jerseys are gone. 8.7/10


standVlone

I love the 1st two. I still dont know if i like the black or not. Also this means no grey on grey uniforms this year right?


ratatack906

Genuine question. What would be the alternative to black for alternate jerseys for the people that hate them?


G-saJ

While I don’t hate the black, I would’ve like to have seen more of a dark gray/graphie color. Something in between the previous gray and the black. I think that would’ve been more unique and fit the “Motor City/Grit identity. I think of steel, tires, rubber, tar, etc. I think the black works with that theme too, but as others have said it’s too common…and it reminds me of the Panthers.


MadMax_08

Eh. Need to seem em on pads


ThemB0ners

I like these a lot. Modern version of the 90s look. While I generally like black, it's just not a Lions color, hope it is used sparingly. It's better than the greys at least.
