Apparently, the Lions are getting new uniforms. They are keeping it pretty hush hush though. Virtually everything in the online store is on sale. Hats for $5, jerseys for $20.
Here is the only thing that I can find speculating about the new logo.

I also found the following, but it appears to be false. (according to one website I found)

There also seems to be no truth to the following logo, but it has not been confirmed.

Never mind about this one:
I just noticed that the last time this site was updated was in '05.
I'm stupid.

Hopefully it will be something intimidating to strike immediate fear into the league. Perhaps something like this:

Well, I guess that we all learned a lesson today. That it's what's inside a person that counts. And that on the inside, midgets are thieving little bastards.

That is a throw back logo. (1961-'69) I like it though.

Jiggy, why did you take a picture of yourself in your favorite shirt and post it here?

Or they could go with something like this:

Hey doc, do you know the address of that place?
Oh, you know, I do know the address. It's at the corner of go fuck yourself and buy a map!

I also like that old logo from the '60s. I think it could look really cool if they were to spruce up the lion a little bit, to make it a little more modern, but to use the same overall design.

The Lions are changing their logo? Awesome. That's totally going to help. Forget about trying to get decent players. The key to success is a new coat of paint. Just ask these guys.

It never really said anything about them changing their logo, more that they are changing the uniforms, I think everyone just automatically associates that with a new logo for some reason.

Actually, they did start winning not long after they went away from those terrible colors.
Also, I think they are doing it to attract more fans, and to sell more merchandise, not to win.

No one has officially said anything about any change, we're just putting 2 and 2 together here. I do think that the logo is changing too though. On the website, hats with just the logo are clearanced out also.

True, but this could be a result of a color change to the logo, like black instead of blue. Also one of their recent trades said something about liking the lions new uniforms, so even tho that has not been officially confirmed it might as well have been.

Grady Jackson said something about liking the new colors. Technically, this could mean just his new colors, and coming to a new team.
EDIT: also, if the logo were not changing, why would the following hat be on sale for only $5?

agreed.
I went on there yesterday and the only thing I saw worth getting besides an Ernie Sims jersey was the Lions Mr. Potato Head. It would go good with my Darth Vader potato head.
....don't judge me.

Has then ever been done, in the history of the NFL? (except for teams moving cities)
Also, "someone that knows someone at reebok" has "leaked" this:

Apparently that is what someone who saw the leaked logo recreated to look as close as possible to what they saw. I'd guess that the real one will look a lot better.

I know. I was implying that they were a good team, they changed to the teal and sucked hard. Soon after they went back to the old logo they became good again.
I don't know how a new logo is going to attract fans and sell merch. That's what happens when you win. Maybe new logos do have a proven track record of selling merch and getting fans. If that's true then... well... I think that's just stupid.

Ew. That doesn't look different enough. If that's the change then it seems fairly pointless.

Well the Logo and the Text are clearly a lot different, but I am looking at my lions jersey right now and those new ones don't look any different to me, so I have a hard time believing they are the "new" ones.

Please tell me you're being sarcastic when you say that the logo is clearly a lot different. It's basically the same logo with an eye and a few more white lines to add detail.

Maybe I should have added more italics and rolling eyes to make it more sarcastic.

We find out today what the new logo is. Woooohoooooooooooo!!! :thumbdown:
My prediction:
I fit is this -
then they will draft Stafford.
If it is something dinfferent, then they will draft better. Why do I say this? Simply because it would mean they are getting better on not showing their hand. (most signs point to stafford now)

Oh c'mon RM, there are tons of Lions draft pics that weren't failures. Andre Ware...nope. Jeff Backus...nope. Charles Rogers...nope. Mike Williams...nope. Well nevermind, you got me there!

Any of you Lions fans have Super Bowl* hangover?
*By "Super Bowl" I am referencing the NFL draft, which is the highest point of euphoria for a Lions fan (as opposed to victories, playoffs, Super Bowls, etc for other teams and their fans)
I'm.......kind of a big deal. People know me.
