The Detroit Lions are going back to the future.
The NFL franchise announced Wednesday it will debut a new helmet design next season. For the first time since the 1950s, the Lions will don a helmet that is not predominantly silver. The alternative look will be Honolulu blue with a throwback logo and the Lions are scheduled to wear it for two games.
Will fans accept the change? The Lions are a team on the rise, but will anyone outside of Michigan care?
