I saw in the News today that the Detroit Lions are looking to change their logo. Is this a good idea? IMHO the logo is the only decent thing about the Lions. Keep the logo and change everything else. | ||

Get rid of Bubbles. That logo has no style, panache nor does it have a sense of ferocity. Some king of the jungle! Personally I wouldn't mind if they just went back to those throwback jerseys with NO logos on 'em. Keep it simple. And while we're at making changes... howzabout winning a few games this upcoming season? | ||

I think the logo should be something resembling this: http://www.gonemovies.com/WWW/ MyWebFilms/Drama/WizardLionClo se.jpg | ||

Personally, I think this classic should be the base logo: http://www.ocregisterfanshop.c om/Images/Product/51-42/51-421 24-B.jpg But I do like "Bubbles" on the helmet... just not in his current form. http://www.mghelmets.com/web%2 0site/lions-large.jpg The older, simpler style is better to me. Lose all the sissy striping & highlights. Go with a slightly darker blue. The Lions don't really need to do much to the uniform... just simplify As for the logos, two logos is fine. You have your standard logo and the one on the helmet. Many teams do this. | ||

I think 'Bubbles The Lion' is synonymous with ineffectiveness, so then perhaps the logo should be laid to rest for now. (even though I think the logo is one of the best in the NFL) Remember, in these parts, when we speak about a so-called 'logo change', it sparks memories of the horrific Grant Hill era Pistons teal and blue horses head concept!(Scary to say the least) As a long time Leo's 'cornbreader', I'm a bit sceptical about a new logo for our Lions! How about for now, we just give 'Bubbles' a leave of absence. blksoul_atcha! We are the ones we have been waiting on! | ||

I remember a few years ago the Lions floated this very same idea. They came up with a logo that looked like an animator from Disney did it. I remarked on air to Art Regner on WDFN (I miss the Fan, dammit!) that it was perfect because the Lions are a Mickey Mouse organization (the quote was originally used by Wayne Gretzky to describe the Winnipeg Jets). Regner laughed and thought it was an excellent idea. Maybe now that they were 0-16, and following 8 horrible years of Matt Millen, and 45 years of inept Ford ownership, they ought to use that Mickey Mouse looking Lion. I wish I knew where I could get an image of it to show everyone. | ||

i personally like the stark silhouette of the current logo. i hope they don't change it to some cartoony looking thing like the jaguars or panthers | ||

I like the silver helmet,it looks good when the throwback jerseys have been used lately. I also like the sleeker 60's style Lion.  | ||

That logo had nothing to do with the Lions. It was part of an artists portfolio and the internet took it from there. Unless they planned these changes back in November nothing will happen until 2010. And I think the only change will be the removal of black and maybe a darkening of the blue. | ||

Why would they move? They've had it made here for years. This is the first time they've had to deal with multiple games not selling out. All they have to do is show some improvement and the fans will all be back. The NFL would not allow them to move. | ||

They shoould go back to the logo they used when they were one of the dominant teams in the NFL and won 3 championships in the '50s.  1957 NFL Championship Game Dec. 29, 1957 Lions vs. Browns Briggs Stadium Detroit 59 Cleveland 14 Gaze and weep... | ||
