Detroit Lions in early stages of considering uniform change for 2022
ALLEN PARK -- Matthew Stafford, Darius Slay, Ezekiel Ansah and Ameer Abdullah were the stars of the Detroit Lions’ last uniform rollout. The Lions are eligible to redesign their uniforms in 2022, and they’ve already begun to kick around the idea. Do we continue with the color rush, etc.? They updated their leaping lion logo, changed their font and introduced an all-grey color rush uniform. It seems that could happen as soon as 2022, although it’ll be a while before any final decisions are made.
