The Lions have recently announced the release of their new uniforms for the upcoming 2022 season in collaboration with Nike. The uniforms feature a richer tone of Honolulu Blue that reminisces of the early 1990s and true silver has made a comeback in various elements such as outlines, stripes and pants.
One of the main highlights of the new uniform is the introduction of black as an alternate option, featuring Honolulu Blue lettering outlined in silver on a black jersey. The team has also introduced all-black alternate pants that can be paired with an alternate blue helmet.
Lions president Rod Wood expressed his excitement about the new era of Lions football and the evolution of their iconic colors while paying homage to their past and looking towards the future. He stated that they drew inspiration from Ford Motor Company’s relaunch of the Bronco in 2021, creating a modernized classic look that captures the essence of Detroit and its multi-generational fan base.
The combination of traditional primary jerseys and bold alternate jerseys reflects Lions’ commitment to honoring their history while embracing change and innovation. With these new uniforms, they hope to create a fresh identity that will attract more fans and help them succeed on the field.
