DETROIT LIONS UNIFORM HISTORY 1934-1947: The fi rst uniform donned by the Detroit Lions included a blue jersey with gleaming silver numerals, silver pants and a silver helmet. The shoes were black. The shade of blue used for the jersey became known as ‘Honolulu’ blue. 1948: Alvin ‘Bo’ McMillin joined the Lions a er having success as a college coach at Indiana University. Soon a er his arrival, McMillin changed the colors of the Lions’ uniforms with the new colors resembling those of his Hoosier teams. The organization retained Honolulu blue and silver as their offi cial colors The jersey was scarlet with white numbers and the pants were white with a thin black stripe between two thin scarlet stripes. The helmets were black. All the players wore leather helmets that season due to the league’s ban on plastic helmets. The team had a second, all-black uniform, which would be worn only for certain important games that McMillin particularly wished to win. The jersey was black with white numbers and the pants were black with a thin scarlet stripe between two thin white stripes. The two uniform sets ended up being worn in four diff erent combinations (scarlet/white; black/black; scarlet/ black; black/white). 1949: The Lions returned to wearing their Honolulu blue and silver uniforms at home but continued to wear combinations of the scarlet and white uniforms and the all-black uniforms on the road. The team changed the color of their helmet to blue and some players went back to wearing plastic helmets a er the NFL li ed the ban on plastic headgear from the previous season. 1950-55: A er wearing fi ve diff erent combinations of scarlet, white, black, silver and Honolulu blue in the previous two seasons, the Lions went back to wearing the traditional Honolulu blue and silver uniforms at home and on the road. For most of the 1950 season the team wore blue helmets but went back to wearing silver helmets for the 1951 season. During the early 50’s, the NFL did not allow the Lions to wear silver helmets for night games because of their resemblance to the white ball under the night lights. They spray-painted their helmets blue for night games. Also, in 1951, the Lions wore the Detroit 250th Anniversary patch on their le sleeve. The patch was also worn by the Red Wings and Tigers. 1956: This was the fi rst season that the Lions added their uniform numbers to the arm sleeves. Some players, like Lions Hall of Fame LT Lou Creekmur, were unhappy with the change – claiming that it made it harder to get away with holding. 1957-60: The Lions began wearing separate colored uniforms on the road on a permanent basis in 1957. The jersey was white with three blue stripes, one thick between two thin stripes, on the sleeves. The numbers were blue and the helmet and pants remained silver. They wore a white jersey on at least one other occasion in a previous season. On October 24, 1954, the Lions wore a similar white uniform in a game at San Francisco which they lost, 37-31, to the 49ers. 1961-67: In 1961, William Clay Ford’s fi rst season as the team’s president, there were some signifi cant uniform changes. The helmet remained silver with a grey facemask but now had the leaping-lion logo as well as two vertical blue stripes running from the back to the front. The pants also had two vertical blue stripes. Three silver stripes, one thick between two thin, were added to the arm sleeves of the home jersey. The away jersey remained the same. During the mid-60s, many players cut off part of the sleeves–giving appearance of only one or two stripes. 1968-69: 1968 was the fi rst year the Lions had a white stripe between the two blue stripes on the helmet. The Lions and the rest of the league wore the NFL 50th Anniversary patch on their le shoulder in 1969. 1970-71: Last names were added to the back of the players’ jerseys in silver lettering and white trim was added to the Leaping Lion logo on the helmet in 1970. For the second half of the 1971 season, the Lions wore a black band, which was sewn over the thick stripe on the le sleeve on their home and away jerseys, in honor of wide receiver Chuck Hughes. Hughes died of a heart attack with 62 seconds remaining in the fourth quarter against the Chicago Bears on October 24, 1971. 1972: The Honolulu blue home jersey had white trim on the silver numerals and the white jerseys had silver trim on blue numerals for the fi rst time in 1972. It was also the fi rst year that there was a white, vertical stripe between the two blue stripes on the pants. The Lions tweaked the striping on the arm-sleeves for that season as well. The home jerseys had the one thick silver stripe between two thin white stripes and the away jersey had the one thick blue stripe between to thin silver stripes. 1973-75: Detroit changed back to the three silver stripes, one thick between two thin, on the sleeves of the Honolulu blue home jersey except now they had white trim. The away white jersey had three blue stripes, one thick between two thin, and they had silver trim. For the 1974 season, the Lions wore a black band, which was sewn over the thick stripe on the le sleeve of their home and away jerseys, in honor of Head Coach Don McCaff erty who died of a heart attack during training camp. 1974 was also the season that the Lions started wearing white shoes. 1976-79: In 1976, the players’ numbers were added to the back of the helmet. 1980-81: The Lions changed the dull silver stripes and trimming on their uniforms to a shimmering silver glitter. This only lasted two seasons because of complaints by other teams about the glare. 1982-97: 1982: The Lions changed the color of the numbers on their home jerseys, making them white with silver trim. 1983: The Lions wore a 50th Anniversary patch on their le shoulder. The Lions changed their facemask from silver/grey to Honolulu blue. 1991: The team wore a patch honoring Russ Thomas, a former player and General Manager for the Lions, who had recently passed away. For their final seven games (five regular season, two postseason), each player had a white circle decal with a blue number ’60,’ on the back right side of the helmet, in honor of RG Mike Utley. Utley suff ered a spinal cord injury in a game against the Los Angeles Rams on November 17, 1991. The small NFL shield was added to the ‘V’ of the neck. 1992: They wore a black circle decal with a white number ‘65,’ on the back right side of the helmet, in honor of LG Eric Andolsek, who was killed a few months prior to the season. 1993: The Lions wore a 60th Anniversary patch on their le shoulder. 1994: The Lions wore throwback jerseys for the 1994 season while the NFL was celebrating their 75th anniversary. This version of the uniform was intended to replicate the jersey worn by the Lions in 1935, which was the season that the team won their fi rst world championship. Several players wore a black circle decal with a white number ’50,’ on the back right side of the helmet in honor of former Lions’ LB Toby Caston.
