Looks like the lettering of "Detroit Lions" has changed

[jayfan]

If this is old news or has already been discussed, forgive me.

Looking at the Lions website for the first time in a while, the 'lion's mane' lettering seen in the banner above is gone. In its place is something worse. It's just generic and arena-league-looking. Plus, the 'n' in 'Lions' is a small n rather than a capital N, which is beyond annoying.

There does appear to be a bright side to the change however. It looks like black has been removed from the color scheme.

Yep, I should have looked back. Just saw Rob's thread on page 2. Will try to delete this one.

I'll merge them.

At least one person from the merge era is still here to get my jokes.

I don't get excited until you're about to ban somebody.

 

[RobBase]

At least two people from the merge era are still here to get my jokes.

How does a change in color scheme contribute to a winning season? You Lions fans are so easily pleased by such insignificant things...

We're still thrilled about the cheerleaders too. Good time to be a Lions fan.

You want a WR in round 1?

3 of them. Trade future firsts to make it happen

Why trade firsts when we can trade our shitty players for early round draft picks? Trade Joqiue Bell to Philly, they need a 6th RB for depth, re-sign Levy, then package him with Andre Fluellen to move up into the top 10. Hell, throw in Asa Jackson and get an extra 3rd and their next years 2nd.

I do miss those posts.

I ain't gonna lie. I wanted Mike Evans, the year we took Esuck. Him or Lewan.

Glad there's a Lion logo on the helmet. Changing the letters is going to be a bitch for me. Dyslexia sucks...

I miss the old block lettering displayed in the banner of this scout site...

New uniforms preview

The new uniforms are being unveiled on April 13, but the ad shows a little.

This is a highly saturated version posted on PrideofDetroit. Does it look like Ahsah's jersey has the old block font on the shoulder?

Sleeves say LIONS in the new lettering on all but the throwbacks.
