Karnage84 Posted June 21, 2023 Share Posted June 21, 2023 https://www.nfl.com/news/lions-unveil-new-alternate-helmet-for-2023-season Not gonna lie, I'm disappointed. It was only going to be something like this or a white shell (my preference). The white would have been a lot more versatile and would have carried over into next year.

Just Want A Title Posted June 21, 2023 Share Posted June 21, 2023 I think it would have to be a part of an alternate uniform scheme to really stand out. I kind of like the Andy Warhol-inspired Lion. Seems solid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LionArkie Posted June 21, 2023 Share Posted June 21, 2023 I like it. It has a nostalgic feel to it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miblue Posted June 21, 2023 Share Posted June 21, 2023 I was hoping for the 70s/80s lion logo to make a return but I’m ok with this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superduperman Posted June 21, 2023 Share Posted June 21, 2023 I like the helmet itself, though the logo seems to be placed too high and it would have been nice to modernize the lion a little. Would look good with the white jersey and blue pants, would be not bad with the all blue color rush or the regular home kit. With the gray color rush it looks like ***. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superduperman Posted June 21, 2023 Share Posted June 21, 2023 (edited) I really don't care for the grays anyway but this makes them even worse if you ask me Edited June 21, 2023 by Superduperman 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Louis Friend Posted June 21, 2023 Share Posted June 21, 2023 I don’t like it. Five years to throw an old logo sticker on an off color matte helmet? They could have done something nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was going to pretty much say this minus modernizing the lion. I am a big fan of the retro lion since its the only time in history we won anything. This would look sharp with white jersey's and blue pants, or even gray pants. The all gray uni's are ugly in general but would be a little better with this helmet IMO. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They could have done something nice. I think for an alternate, this works. Sounds like a complete redesign is coming and when they do that, I hope they have something better. Plenty of good renderings out there that could work. I am hoping the new helmet is something like this: https://detroitsportsnation.com/detroit-lions-electric-blue-concept-helmet-is-perfect-for-aidan-hutchinson-era-photo/wgbrady/nfl-lions/detroit-lions-news/06/03/2022/244081/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just Want A Title Posted June 21, 2023 Share Posted June 21, 2023 I wonder how that helmet would like with a new color-rush uniform. I hope that is something the Lions are thinking about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope that is something the Lions are thinking about. So - they could be looking at an "electric honolulu blue" alternate using this logo along with this new helmet? Might be an indication of where things are trending. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This logo was introduced in 1961. WCF was already a majority partner then, so this logo is firmly a product of the early Ford era. That is not a good thing in my eyes. After a couple days of thought, I think the best thing about this helmet, potentially, is that it might signal a change for next year's unis toward that electric blue color. Pair that with a brighter silver and you might really have something. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just Want A Title Posted June 27, 2023 Share Posted June 27, 2023 The site below had some decent information on the history of various Detroit Lions logos. I was a little surprised there would be one source for that. https://motownmeltdown.wordpress.com/2014/01/22/the-history-of-the-detroit-lions-logo/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
