Fans Made Sure To Mock The Brand-New Helmets That The Detroit Lions Unveiled

The team debuted their new alternate blue helmets on Wednesday, paying respect to the history of the company with a vintage emblem from the 1960s.
Fans Made Sure To Mock The Brand-New Helmets That The Detroit Lions Unveiled
The Detroit Lions debuted a new appearance and a new helmet design on Wednesday, after the NFL permitted clubs to have an extra helmet starting last season. The new helmet departs from the squad’s customary silver helmets and for the first time matches the Honolulu Blue uniform of the team. In the 1950s, the team had previously had blue helmets.
This is what I was alluding to in comments elsewhere about the new #Lions helmet. Their current logo works better with this, but if you insist on the 1961 then break it into side decal and stripes. Also, redraw the lion so it has the character w/out the awkwardness. pic.twitter.com/cTbykPsSMa

The new helmet is a light blue that has never been used by an NFL club and incorporates a retro emblem to celebrate the franchise’s history. It will be worn with the team’s all-gray jerseys.

Some supporters had concerns about the new design despite the team’s smooth social media video announcing the helmets.

During the 2023–24 season, the Lions will use the helmets with their all-gray alternative outfits in two games: Week 18 will be played against the Las Vegas Raiders on Monday Night Football on October 30.

The new helmet also features a gray matte facemask. The shade of blue featured on the helmet has never been worn in the NFL before.
