The Nikefication of the NFL continues.

The Detroit Lions will be the latest team to change uniforms in the aftermath of Nike taking over the league’s apparel contract in 2012. The new digs will be unveiled before the draft.

“We worked very closely with the league and Nike in designing the uniforms and had several different options presented to us before we finally settled on the one that we’ll unveil on April 13,” team president Rod Wood said Thursday, via Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press. “And I think you’ll be pleased. I think the fans will be pleased.”

The revised uniform will include new home, road, alternate, and Color Rush ensembles. The team already has revealed a revised logo (the black border is now gray), and it has announced that the color black has been removed completely “from our brand identity.” The Lions adopted their existing uniform in 2009.

We will see, don't go too modern.

You know, if you watch the Texans and Broncos, to me, their helmets are too similar.

They will keep the same colors and same logo from what I'm hearing. So, I'm not sure what this all means.

Redwings dynasty, some success with the Pistons and the Tigers; not too bad.

Cubs were the lovable losers for over 100 years.

If any item of clothing can be made uglier, Nike will do it.
