The Detroit Lions are a professional American football team based in Detroit. The Lions compete in the National Football League (NFL) as a member of the National Football Conference (NFC) North Division. The team plays its home games at Ford Field in Downtown Detroit.
In 2003, the squad embellished both their emblem and their uniforms with black trim. The face masks on the helmet were originally blue, but they were later changed to black when the new color was introduced.
The year 2005 marked the debut of the club’s new black alternate jersey. In order to celebrate the 75th anniversary of the team’s franchise, the players opted to wear throwback uniforms in 2008 rather than the traditional black jerseys.
In 2009, the team decided to make the throwback uniform their official alternate jersey, replacing the black one that had been used previously.
On April 20, 2009, the Lions made their new team logo and jerseys public for the first time. The lion’s mane and fangs were given a flowing appearance, and a contemporary font was used for the typeface.
