The Lions tease at a potential uniform color change

The Detroit Lions social media team dropped an ambiguous post that has the speculation machine running rampant. After the recent alternate helmet release, the team is now (maybe) teasing a (potential) color change to the (possibly) new uniforms.

First, the tweet from the Lions:

This could mean any number of things. The old NFC Central, of which the Lions were a member before the NFL moved to eight divisions from six, was commonly known as the “black and blue division.”

Then again, the Lions also had some black jerseys as alternate colors back in the 2004-2006 seasons. With the long-awaited new uniforms coming as soon as 2024, could this be a teaser for a return of the popular black jerseys? The team can also change the color rush jerseys from the divisive grey uniforms, which pair with the blue alternate helmets in 2023. That also wouldn’t happen until 2024 at the earliest, but that’s also a possibility.

Let the speculation begin!
