Detroit-unveils new Helmet in honor of their 90th season

[May Day 10]

That logo is a callback to their logo from the 1960s, which I dont believe was ever on a helmet.

 

If you are going to do a throwback with Detroit, Im not sure what you do.  I think everybody would like a rollback to the Barry Sanders version.

Im not sure I like the lion in the logo. It looks stretched out, too thin, and I dont mean to insult the artist but looks too amateurish.

 Not on board w the Lion either.  The Blue is sweet, the rest.. meh

Agreed. That was my criticism as well. Does that version of the lion have some type of history with the team, perhaps?

That combo looks bad to me. I do not like the gray uniforms with that helmet.

Agree. I think it will look good with white, but not that grey.

I like their old logo and I don't think this is quite as nice, but they didn't completely wreck it, so good job, Lions.

white on white or white with blue would be slick

The "stretched out" Lion over stripes was their primary logo from 1961-1969.  It's a retro helmet.

Love the color of the helmet and its style...as far as the logo goes, I like the refresh, but I would say its good but could have been better.  

 

Overall though, I think the new helmet is a win and I dig it.  I would love to see a helmet with Bills colors using this style of base paint myself personally.  

Same here. Love the color of the helmet and the overall style. The lion they picked for the logo is ok, but could have been better IMO.

 

overall I like it.

Does it beat the Fitzmagic helmet.

 

 

 

Why do we get the a$$-end?   He was four seasons here, more than any other team, we should be up front with the head of the Buffalo.

Agree with you on that one.

I don't know about the Bills, but the Seahawks will wear their old uniforms this year vs the Browns week 8 per the uniform gridiron database site.

This Lions helmet has half the board convinced we should fire McDermott.

 

I don’t agree but it’s the best logic they’ve used so far.

Those were some very nice uniforms!  Those and the old Kelly Green Eagles uniforms are some of the all-time best in the NFL

I mean McDermott cant even get our red helmets approved.....so its not unreasonable to want him gone...Detroit got it done

Yeah, it kind of looks like someone's kid drew the lion, or they had a contest for the rookies to draw their logo, and used the best one.

Ok. That's what I was wondering. It's not the best, but at least it has history.
