If you’re confused why the Lions look so plain on Thanksgiving it’s okay, because you’re not alone.
Why do the Lions’ Thanksgiving uniforms look different?
It’s okay if you’re confused.


The uniforms are a throwback to the 1939 Lions’ uniform, featuring grey lettering, no helmet decal and a plain blue jersey — without any silver piping. It’s a pretty stark change if you didn’t know the Lions were going to wear them, and nobody on the broadcast has mentioned the uniform change, so you’re totally forgiven for being a little lost.
Plenty of people were on Twitter too.
The feeling on these really seems split down the middle. Some people are loving the simplistic throwback look, while a lot of other people think it just doesn’t look right in the modern NFL. What do you think?
