Blue and silver looks good on lions

[@striveseekfind]

I expect the lions to get it right right now, but the fact the Jets got it right floors me

[@derricknoordyke5137]

I love the black with the blue helmets. My new favorite! Looks clean as hell!

[@Brent6437]

The kings of the black and blue. Thank God they got rid of the gray.

Hated those gray pajamas

@@elizabethdale8566 I’m with you dear 100%.

[@noot6230]

I’ve been screaming for the sack exchange unis to come back for years, so glad they finally pulled the trigger on it. Sadly though now I need updated stuff. Christmas and birthday list has been pre filled 😂

Honolulu blue 💙

[@Codysbiggestmark]

I'm a life long Lions fan, and I'm glad that both the Lions and Jets brought these old uniforms back, especially since I have an appreciation for the old school. By the way, Jets fans, can we have Garrett Wilson?

No garrett is staying home

Jets unis are fire. Garret will play in Gotham till he retires. #UptownBaby #JetsFanFromFiji

I love the Lions ,Jets uniforms especially Jets I love there white collar on there home jersey

[@NathanHartfield]

Love your poster’s where did you get them 😮❤

[@jesusm2159]

4:48 I like those with bright green

[@PrivatelyHanging]

Those grays were 🔥, dont kid yourself...

[@jjgreen5206]

No they weren’t they were 💩

[@jesusm2159]

Saludos, they look the same no major changes

[@shaunmorse4089]

Houston is tied with Detroit at a strong A or A+. Jet strong A or B+ and the broncos D ➖ or an F, due to the fact they already had an uniform that was iconic all they had to do is update the 1977 to 1996 version to a modern version

[@Masta_jay]

I like the lions uniform except for the numbers. Just feel like its missing something. Maybe a small blue line inside the white to better highlight the lettering?

[@user-nd7wy6jl4s]

Over time DA, a lot of teams have changed their uniforms colors and styles. Which is great, many yrs ago I painted and put new tires and rims on my car. It broke down soon after, I should've replaced the engine first.

[@mattcarberry368]

you realize marketing and player scouting are 2 entirely different departments, right? it's not like Brad Holmes and his scouts had to take time off from draft prep to go design new uniforms lol (also i think their engine is lookin just fine these days anyway)

[@ScottW2000]

It’s time for the Patriots to go back to Pat Patriot full time and deep six Flying Elvis. What’s old is new again.

[@chadcochran5888]

Need Broncos and Bucs to go back to 1987 jersey’s.

[@anthonywutkowski199]

I still prefer the Joe Namath era Jets jerseys, but maybe use the newer helmets with them?

[@ChildOfThe1970s]

The Lions realized their skinny, slanted numbers weren't good and went back to block numbers. I wish the Steelers would do the same!

[@Icarus.19]

I agree 100% with what you said about the 80s being the best look for team and the 90s being the downfall. I'm a Lions fan that really liked our look we had the last 7-8 seasons, but the new "throwbacks" are great. But... I think this black jersey, blue helmet looks lame! It's horrible!! Go Lions!

[@SippyCupAdventures]

Have ALL the teams go back to their '80' jerseys please! I believe the Patriots are going back to their old Pat the Patriot(ish). Next up, the Dolphins need to go back to their original uni, and be rid of the Miami Beach and Swim Club logo.

[@Monarchist94]

But the Jets also need the white helmets for the white jersey

[@aldonchristian1209]

The Steelers need to go back to using block numbers again

[@movewithpurpose]

Totally agree about Detroit. One of the first franchises should not be wearing slanted, weird scripts. The black will grow on me. Should of kept the throwback long lion on the blue helmet. Looks too much like Carolina.

[@ADadSupreme]

Detroit Panthers about to go to copyright court.

[@firstname376]

It’s gonna be a battle of who wears the black and blue better😂

[@brenolk4642]

Honestly, why not share the Black and Blue, it best fits Detroit as a city that gets beaten down but has yet given up (but the Blue and Silver is more iconic)

[@ADadSupreme]

@@brenolk4642 The uniform does look good. No denying it. Just looks so much like the Panther's helmet is all.

[@team1machine1]

We already have a detroit panthers

[@jjgreen5206]

I like the Jets uniforms. The black uniforms are boring and typical, but I like the green ones

[@jesusm2159]

Eagles also look better with their kelly green and silver

[@Briguy75]

I agree. The green kind of seemed a bit darker in the Super Bowl against the Raiders back in 1981. It reminded me more of a midnight green with the silver pants and wings which I thought looked really good

[@Bren3669]

the jerseys themselves are a step down for the Lions but the full uniform looks great. Hopefully they look better once the whole team is wearing them

[@mattcarberry368]

step up on every level imaginable gray font with gray trim and gray stripes and that ugly "WCF" written across the sleeves.... no thanks lol these are 100% unquestionably better jerseys

[@lusiouse]

GREY UNIFORMS WITH BLUE HELMETS WAS COOL AF

[@markg.7865]

No, the all gray uniforms looked like Confederate soldiers.

[@vladimirdoyle3934]

They were dope af

[@tonyyost331]

They looked like pajamas

[@STREAMSONLY-vt6gx]

Hell nah

[@mattcarberry368]

solid gray uniforms are NEVER cool lol they're the absolute worst

[@MrMuppetLover]

Let's be real, I disliked the previous uniform for the Jets before the redesign.

[@mobomba6206]

The silver pants are rhe best for the lions. The other uniforms just look yoo plain likw the commanders, jaguars and the texans new uniforms...the jets now have some of fhe best uniforms in the league

[@MichaelRobinson-hl8dt]

Lions home uni is the best. Jets away unis are better than detroits

[@davec7433]

Now if we can only get MLB to pull their head out of the sand and return a player jerseys back to their past glory.

[@vladimirdoyle3934]

Only reason y people like the throwback look is cuz the majority fan grew up in the 70’s through the 90’s. Yall kept acting like 10 yr old kids on the internet cuz yall can’t face the fact that ur era is over. It’s okay yall gonna die one day and we can some fun with uniforms. The reason for having black is cuz it dope as fuck.

[@bartphlegar8212]

To me, the numbering on the Lions jerseys looks white. Why not silver?...Retro isn't always good. Should we bring back the Denver Broncos mustard and brown barber pole socks with the rickety swayback horse on the helmet?... 😃...TBH, I've always been bored with the Jets uniforms. For the home of Madison Avenue, they've always seemed uninspired to me, but then I could say the same about their locker mates, the Giants. Tampa has been the weird one. Creamsicle to grey pewter??? Got a hold of some tainted ganja, did they?...To me, the Dolphins have THE most classic and distinguishable unis in the business. Close second, the Ravens....

[@badgerden7080]

He's right about some of the ugliness of some NFL uniforms. There are UFL uniforms that look better than some NFL ones.

[@lolol180]

The Broncos, Patriots, Bucs, and Falcons basically ruined their uniforms...

[@ItSaBeastNerd]

Don’t care what this man says, black is always welcome. It goes with ALMOST everything

[@sendmedics]

They both look great but I can't believe how many people love the new Black Lions jerseys...I just do not like them.

[@jesusm2159]

Jets bright green color is better than this dark green

[@jesusm2159]

Tampa retro uniforms are better

[@errrriiiic4805]

Lions fan here, Born and raised in MI. The Lions did not nail it, despite what you think. All the Lions did was pay tribute to decades of losing. They should have went a whole new direction. I couldn't stand the 90's jerseys when I was a kid and I don't like the new/old look. I'll be listening to Lions games on the radio from here on out, can't stand the look. Lions get a 3/10 for me. Seriously disappointed In Detroit

[@thomascwiek5414]

You’re going to listen to the radio because you don’t like the uniforms? 😂

[@travisscott9057]

ok drama queen. Never head of anybody saying they will listen to the radio over watching a team because of their uniforms. There are a lot of teams who have ugly uniforms but that hasn't stopped their fans from watching them and supporting their team. To me those jerseys we had the past 5 years with the ugly silver numbers and name plates were terrible. But that never stopped me from watching and supporting our team every Sunday.

[@errrriiiic4805]

@@travisscott9057 ok, your point is what, buttercup? My opinion twist your panties that much? Listening on radio is still supporting em 🤷🏻

[@user-oq9mv8pc2g]

Lions mid 70s uniforms were the best

[@jesusm2159]

Black on every team is getting tiresome, just stay with their 2 team colors
