The NFL Draft is on the way, and now, the Detroit Lions’ new uniforms are here to show off during the event. The Lions revealed three new uniforms on Thursday evening (April 18) in front of season ticket holders at Ford Field and later to the public.

Detroit Lions’ New Uniforms

The good news for nostalgic Detroit Lions fans is that Detroit will keep their Honolulu Blue home uniforms and white road uniforms. But, they also brought back a black alternate jersey, instead of what they were using, which was the silver color rush uniforms.

“We are excited to launch a new era of Lions football,” Detroit Lions President & CEO, Rod Wood said regarding the new uniforms. “Honolulu Blue and Silver has defined the Detroit Lions for generations and I am proud that we found a way to continue to evolve the look with a nod to the past and a focus on the future. The traditional look of our primary jerseys combined with the bold attitude of our alternate jerseys capture the essence of Detroit and the multi-generational fans base that supports us.”

Regarding the Lions’ new uniforms, the Lions write, “Behold a modern take on the most iconic Detroit Lions uniform ever worn. In refreshed ‘Honolulu Blue,’ the Home jersey welcomes back a classic white number font, and is paired with pants in true silver – the way it was meant to be. New shoulder and pant striping borrows from the racing stripes used on the Ford Mustang, and both notably include the return of white accents.” They add, “The inside collar is inscribed with ‘One Pride,’ in honor of our team’s passionate and frenzied fan base that packs Ford Field to create one of the most intimidating game day atmospheres in the NFL.”

The Lions also pay tribute to the team of the 1950s, which was a winning team. “The Lions’ closet will continue to feature a classic uniform as a nod to the late-’50s teams that dominated the early era of professional football,” they write in a statement. “The refreshed blue is the only change the team made to the classic uniform as they will still feature classic numbers in silver with no outline. The jersey will be paired with silver stripe-less pants and blue socks.”

Check out the Detroit Lions’ new uniforms below. What do you think? I think they look great, but the superstitious side of me wants them to use last season’s uniforms. Reach out to me and let me know.

5 Earth-Shaking Predictions for the 2024 NFL Draft

  • Chicago Bears - QB Caleb Williams, USC

    It’s no secret that the Bears have their sights set on Caleb Williams of USC. They traded Justin Fields to the Steelers to put the focus on Williams and his future with the team. All eyes will be on him next season. He’ll be the No. 1 overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft.

  • Washington Commanders - QB Jaylen Daniels, LSU

    The Washington Commanders need some help. So do all the teams who are picking first in the draft, of course. But, the Commanders have been trying to rebuild for years now. There are rumors that the Commanders could trade the No. 2 pick, but I don’t think so. Especially after trading Sam Howell to the Seahawks, it seems like they’re keeping their No. 2 pick. Chances are, they’ll snag quarterback Jaylen Daniels of LSU.

  • Arizona Cardinals - WR Marvin Harrison Jr., Ohio State

    The Arizona Cardinals will get the No. 4 pick, and they’ll have a few different options. It will be one of the more interesting draft picks. But, to me, it seems like going with WR Marvin Harrison Jr. of Ohio State is a no-brainer. He’ll help strengthen their offense in a big way.

  • Los Angeles Chargers - WR Malik Nabers, LSU

    New head coach Jim Harbaugh will have some fun with the NFL Draft this year. The Chargers really need some good pass catchers, so it seems like Malik Nabers of LSU would be the perfect fit. He’ll be the strongest WR they have, to boot.

  • New York Giants - QB J.J. McCarthy, Michigan

    The New York Giants are in a bind due to Daniel Jones and his injuries. So, snagging J.J. McCarthy of Michigan would be a smart move. They’ll be able to do that, based on the order they are in the draft. It will be interesting to see what consistency this Michigan guy can bring to the team.

  • Under-the-Radar Picks: Detroit Lions

    One under-the-radar pick is possibly the Detroit Lions picking up EDGE Chop Robinson of Penn State. They already have one of the best EDGE players in the league with Aiden Hutchinson, and adding Robinson would add fuel to that fire. Their defense could get the boost they need to get to the Big Game.

  • Under-the-Radar Picks: Philadelphia Eagles

    The Philadelphia Eagles could bring on CB Nate Wiggins of Clemson. Their secondary needs major help, and Wiggins will be one of the best corners in the 2024 draft, so why not go for it? I’d be surprised to see them pick anyone else in the first round.

  • Under-the-Radar Picks: Tampa Bay Buccaneers

    The Tampa Bay Buccaneers could use a good CB, and Kool-Aid McKinstry of Alabama fits the bill. They traded Carlton Davis to the Lions, so the Buccaneers need to pick up a CB with their pick. McKinstry is solid, and they’ll put him to work on day one.

  • Under-the-Radar Picks: Seattle Seahawks

    The Seattle Seahawks are in a curious position, in that they had a strong season, so they don’t get a high draft pick, but they still need to add some extra talent. One smart choice would be OT Troy Fautanu of Washington. This move would put him back together with his college offensive coordinator Ryan Grubb.

  • Under-the-Radar Picks: Las Vegas Raiders

    The Las Vegas Raiders need some help in the CB department, and they’ll hit that sweet spot in the draft where they’ll be able to pick up Quinyon Mitchell of Toledo. He’s going to be the first cornerback picked in the 2024, in my opinion. Others agree, too. The Raiders will be a good fit for him.
