Detroit Lions Jerseys

The Detroit Lions are members of the NFC North division of the National Football League (NFL). The Lions home games are played at Ford Field in downtown Detroit. The Detroit Lions have won 4 NFL championships, the last in 1957; the Lions have the second longest NFL championship drought in football history. Sadly the 2008 Lions became the only team to lose all 16 regular season games. With quarterback Daunte Culpepper, and talented players like Manny Ramirez and Antone Smith hopefully the 2009 season will break the drought and give the Lions a few wins. The Detroit Lions are led by a new coach for the 2009 season; Jim Schwartz comes from the Tennessee Titans who have a more impressive record of 13-3 so maybe he will turn things around for this historic team.

Silver & Blue Jersey

The Lions uniforms consisting of silver helmets and silver pants with either blue or white jerseys have been much the same throughout the years. There have been minor changes over the seasons such as changing the stripe pattern on the jersey sleeves and changing jersey number colors. A white outline was added to the logo of a leaping blue lion.

In 1994 many of the teams in the NFL wore "throwback" jerseys to honor the 75th anniversary of the NFL. The Lions chose solid silver pants and helmets with blue jerseys and silver numbers. They also wore solid blue socks with black shoes and had no "TV" numbers on the sleeves. The helmets were logo free due to the fact that the 50's style uniforms included leather helmets.

The alternate field jersey for the Detroit Lions is also a throwback uniform in honor of the Detroit Lions 75th year as a team in 2008, that is set to be the permanent alternate in 2009 replacing a former black alternate.

Also new for 2009 is the new Lions logo and helmet which features a flowing mane and fangs as well as an updated font. Now that the Detroit Lions have updated their uniforms, logo and helmets lets hope that they can pull together as a team and have a successful 2009 season to go along with their new look.

Beginnings

Since 1929 when they began as the Portsmouth Spartans the team now known as the Detroit Lions have been survivors, thy joined the NFL when other independent teams were folding due to the Great Depression, they have kept on keeping on through disappointing season after disappointing season and will continue to make the effort and play as a team for the future. Even with all of the losses the Detroit Lions have a rich history with players Jimmy Conzelman, and Benny Friedman who have gone on to be inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
