When the Detroit Lions released their four new uniforms back in April, it brought a lot of excitement. Many were eager to see the Lions finally sport a color rush jersey on the field. Others were psyched about the throwback uniforms coming back. Some were just thrilled about blue pants.
But seeing the uniforms on mannequins is one thing. Seeing them in practice was another. At first, there was some consternation about the numbering on the blue jerseys, seeing as there didn’t appear to be enough color contrast to clearly see who was out there. Then the Lions messed around for a Sunday night game and came out with a new blue-on-blue combo uniform to mixed reviews.
