What Fans Said
Most fans liked the blue shade.
The problem was the lion.
Square State Sandlot Podcast said:
“What happens when the owner lets their 5 year old grandchild design a logo.”
“Great color. The logo is an abomination”
“Color is cool but every aspect of the graphics on there is really a let down”
“O my LAWD!! Whoever drew that is fired lol that lion lol looks hungry lol one leg longer than the other”
CatsAreBack thought it resembled a different logo.

The Method To The Madness
The Lions logo on the alternate helmet is actually a true throwback.
This was the Lions logo from the 1960s.
I know a lot of @Lions fans are hoping/predicting an alternate helmet with the logo from the 60’s, however what about the one from 1970? It’s a historical logo and would look great on a blue helmet. Would pay homage to Barry and some of the other greats who’ve worn this logo. pic.twitter.com/p5nLCe23g3

When Will The Lions Wear It?
It is not clear when the Lions plan to use the alternate helmet.
The Lions generated a lot of excitement in 2022 by sneaking into the playoffs so there are greater expectations attached to this team in 2023.
There are even an unprecedented four prime-time games on the team’s schedule including a blockbuster Week 1, NFL kickoff game against the Super Bowl Champion Kansas City Chiefs at Arrowhead Stadium.
