Editor's note: Story originally ran on Thanksgiving 2017. The Lions are going with the same uniforms for 2018.
It's Thanksgiving in Detroit, which means as the parade route clears on Woodward, the attention turns to Ford Field, where the Detroit Lions are playing the Minnesota Vikings.
The Lions brought back one of their traditions on this annual contest, sporting the classic throwback uniforms.
An ode to the early uniforms from the 1930s, the Lions are wearing frill-less blue jerseys with silver numbers and nameplates to go with silver pants and silver helmets with no leaping lion or stripes.
