Open thread: What do you think of the sneak peek of the Lions’ new uniforms?

The Lions teased their new uniforms in a video Tuesday. What do you think so far?

The Detroit Lions dropped a promotional video on Tuesday giving very quick, partial glimpses at their new uniforms, which are slated to come out this week. You can tell a lot from the limited teases, including new lettering, the return of white jersey/blue pants combos, and what appears to be minor coloring changes.

Question of the day: What do you think of the Lions’ uniform sneak peek?

Maybe I’m a sicko for being so into a tease of new uniforms, but what can I say, I love the Honolulu Blue baby. I will say, off the bat, what stood out to me is how sharp the coloring is. It’s probably just the lighting in the video, but the whites felt very white while the blue feels very rich. Until I see them in full, I won’t read too much into the coloring, though.

As Jeremy pointed out in the video recap article, the most evident change was the block lettering. I’m a big fan. There’s been a big trend towards more retro-style uniforms both in the NFL and in Lions jersey mock-ups, which I’ve been a big fan of, and I think the block lettering fits that bill.

I was also glad to see the return of the blue pants-white jerseys combo. As Jeremy mentioned, Rod Wood has hinted at switching up the top and bottom jersey combos. While we’ll probably see that combo as the standard away jersey, I’m hoping this is a tease of them revealing it with the blue helmet. I think that has the potential to be their cleanest non-color rush look.

I can’t wait for these new jerseys, and even the tease is so exciting. What do you think of the early sneak peek? Let us know your thoughts in the comments.
