The Detroit Lions are on the brink of revealing their latest uniforms just before the NFL Draft, as announced by team president Rod Wood during a press conference on Monday.
During a 30-minute interaction with the media at the NFL owners’ meetings in Orlando, Wood shared insights into the upcoming uniform launch. “I believe everyone will be thrilled. I won’t give away too much, but I’m genuinely pleased with the outcome,” Wood expressed, echoing the sentiment reported by the media.
Wood revealed that the journey to design the new uniforms spanned multiple years, a collaborative effort involving Brian Facchini and Mike Disner alongside Nike and the league’s representatives.
While Wood refrained from divulging extensive details, he confirmed the discontinuation of the all-gray color rush uniforms, hinting at the introduction of new pants for the team. “We’re paying homage to our classic color scheme with a modern twist, offering us a broader array of options,” he mentioned, according to media reports. “We’re rolling out several pant variations that will complement our jerseys, thus broadening our wardrobe choices throughout the season.”
Wood also shared that some players have already participated in a photoshoot donning the new uniforms, and their excitement was palpable.
The last time the Lions updated their uniforms was in 2018, making this unveiling a much-anticipated event for fans and players alike.
