Lions reveal alternate helmet..

[Mojo Ram]

Apparently the Lions asked Brad Holmes if he could pass on the phone number for the kids who designed the Rams new unis...

You know, I really don’t mind the new uniforms but I agree with you 100% on the new logos. Especially Ram Head. Maybe the worst in the league. The stuff of 3rd grade art class legend. I still can’t believe the Rams paid someone big bucks to draw that up.

Why does the lion look like it’s dying of starvation?

Lions haven't eaten in a long time.

 

[Merlin]

Fucking terrible. Enjoy that shit Lions fans.

There's just somethings you don't bring back....

What was the last Detroit Lions championship team?


The 1957 Detroit Lions season was the franchise's 28th season in the National Football League (NFL) and their 24th as the Detroit Lions. Under first-year head coach George Wilson, the Lions won their fourth and most recent NFL title.

The Lions haven't eaten in 66 years.

Did see that before my post.

Wow, 3rd graders was my initial thought when I wrote "kids". Not kidding. Also I agree about logos vs uniforms. The unis really aren't the issue

I bet that cost quite a bit of money! That's why we will never consider anything so cost prohibitive! Wait!
Did someone already do that for us? Heads will roll!

IMO, the new helmet is ugly. The more important question, for me at least, is why dafuq is the primary color for the Detroit Lions Honolulu blue?

Is it just me?

I like that blue. But, their uniform didn’t need fixed. I always though that they had one of the best in the league.

 

[So Ram]

Ok.
I had to go back and look again.

Yup, it's a lion running with a cell phone.

Calling all farts, it’s a turd. Goes to vent you either way it stinks

For those who do not see Insta links...

That's the most pitiful, helpless, pathetic rendition of a lion I've ever seen.

In case anyone forgot, lions are in fact some of the most powerful, athletic and magnificent creatures on the planet.

This looks like a kid trying to draw an Egyptian hieroglyph of an animal dying of malnutrition. Maybe if your 4 year had drawn it you would be stuck with putting it on the refrigerator for a week... but on an NFL team helmut? What are they thinking??

I didn't see yours. I posted as soon as I saw it and didn't finish reading the whole thread.

It doesn’t look bad on the shoulder patch.

But, yeah… not sure about the helmet.

Is that a lion running with a cell phone? WTH?

My first thought was a lion swinging a hockey stick, which makes waaay more sense.



They need to get it off that vent hole, at least

Oh sh*t is he taking a selfie??

That's it, I'm calling the new logo "hungry lion selfie."

I guess it's not as bad as "dicknose."

 

[OldSchool]

It's one of their old school logos from back in the 60s so kinda makes sense as a throw back. So it's a nostalgia thing for them I guess. I like the color of the helmet at least.

Yeah it's to commemorate their 90th season.

 

[RamFan503]

Crazy that most lion fans at "The Den" love it.

Well they DO live in Detroit.

Yeah, this is the key bit of info that many of us didn't realize.

If this were a brand new logo, it would be a complete disaster. But as a "throwback to the 1960's", it's understandable why some fans would like the retro vibe.

From a 2023 perspective, a LOT of logos from the 50s and 60s look either corny or crude or childlike of just plain weird.

For example-- I've been a Celtics fan since the 70's, so their iconic logo looks "normal" to me:

However, their previous logo from the 50s looks weird, in my opinion:

I understand the nostalgia thing but fuck that lion is horrendous! They would of went with everything else but the kept the current lion and made it white



This is the equivalent of the older Rams fans saying they want the thicker horns on the helmets back.
