A Brief History of the Lions
Detroit welcomed the Lions in 1934, but it was not the area’s first
look at professional football. In 1920, the Detroit Heralds were a charter
member of the American Professional Football Association, which was
the original name of the present NFL, but the club folded after two
years. The Detroit Panthers appeared in 1925, but also folded after two
seasons. In 1928, the Detroit Wolverines were formed, but they failed
after just one year.
In 1930, the then-10-year-old National Football League added a
franchise from Portsmouth, Ohio, called the Spartans. After four seasons,
the team was purchased for $7,952.08 by a group headed by Detroit radio
executive George A. Richards and moved to the Motor City.
Playing in the University of Detroit Stadium before crowds that
averaged 16,000, the new Detroit Lions won the NFL Championship in
only their second year (1935). Under the leadership of Coach “Potsy”
Clark and stars like Hall of Famer “Dutch” Clark, Ernie Caddel, George
Christensen, “Ace” Gutowsky, Glenn Presnell and “Ox” Emerson, the early
Lions established pro football in Detroit.
In 1940, Chicagoan Fred Mandel bought the club. Lions’ stars of that
era included Hall of Famers Bill Dudley and Alex Wojciechowicz, John
Green, Byron “Whizzer” White, Frank Sinkwich and “Camp” Wilson. The
team was sold eight years later to a group of local businessmen under
the leadership of Edwin J. Anderson. The Detroit syndicate controlled
the club until 1964, when William Clay Ford became the sole owner for
a price of $4.5 million.
The Lions dominated the NFL in the 1950s with four division titles
and three league championships. Under the direction of head coach
Buddy Parker, the team won back-to-back world crowns in 1952-53,
defeating Cleveland on both occasions. Stars of those powerful teams
were Hall of Famers Bobby Layne, Jack Christiansen, Doak Walker and
Lou Creekmur, as well as Les Bingaman, Cloyce Box, Leon Hart and Bob
Hoernschemeyer. The Detroit-Cleveland battles of the era were classic
confrontations between two giants of the blossoming NFL.
Since their last title in 1957 under the coaching of George Wilson,
the Lions have continued searching for the league’s top spot. Such
performers as Joe Schmidt, Yale Lary, Dick “Night Train” Lane, John
Henry Johnson and Lem Barney have been elected to the Hall of Fame.
Outstanding players such as Wayne Walker, Mike Lucci, Nick Pietrosante,
Roger Brown, Terry Barr, Mel Farr, Charlie Sanders, Dexter Bussey, Billy
Sims and Doug English have also taken their places in the annals of
pro football in Detroit.
In 1967, Schmidt began the first of six seasons as head coach
of the Lions. His 1970 team made the playoffs, (first postseason
trip since ’57) but lost in the first round to Dallas by the baseballlike score of 5-0.
Prior to the 1975 season, the Lions moved into a new, domed
stadium in Pontiac, Mich., a suburb located 30 miles north of
Detroit. The Silverdome was at one time the world’s largest airsupported domed structure and seated over 80,000 spectators
under a fiberglass roof.
Monte Clark took control of all football operations as head
coach in 1978. Under Clark’s direction, the Lions narrowly missed
playoff berths in 1980-81, before qualifying in 1982 — the Lions’
first playoff appearance since 1970. Detroit captured the NFC
Central Division crown in 1983, but stumbled in the first round of
the playoffs with a 24-23 loss at San Francisco.
Darryl Rogers took over for Clark in 1985 but was replaced
on an interim basis by his defensive coordinator Wayne Fontes in
November 1988 after Rogers’ teams had posted a combined 18-40
record. Fontes was officially named the franchise’s 18th head coach
on December 22, 1988.
The Lions “Restored the Roar” in 1991, winning a franchiserecord 12 regular season games. Riding a tide of emotion after
guard Mike Utley’s paralyzing neck injury, Detroit defeated Dallas,
38-6, in the Lions’ first Silverdome playoff contest. The victory gave
the Lions a berth in the NFC Championship Game, where Detroit
fell to the eventual Super Bowl Champion Washington Redskins.
The Lions finished 10-6 in 1993 en route to capturing the
NFC Central Division title, and earned a Wild Card playoff bid in
1994. The 1995 Lions featured the NFL’s top-rated offense and
won their final seven games to earn a third straight playoff berth.
Herman Moore set an NFL record with 123 catches, and he and
Brett Perriman became the first teammates to each total over
100 catches in the same season. The receiver tandem also set the
NFL record for most receiving yards in a season. Quarterback Scott
Mitchell set team passing records for yards (4,338), completions
(346) and touchdowns (32).
In 1996, running back Barry Sanders captured his third NFL
rushing title with a dramatic 175-yard outburst on the final Monday
night of the season in San Francisco. The Lions, however, finished
a disappointing 5-11 in ’96 and following the season, Fontes was
GRIDIRON HEROES...
Tales
As the new pro football franchise took root in Detroit, owner G.A. Richards called for an original
fight song to be written for the Lions. In the late 1930s, Wayne State University director of
bands Graham T. Overgard, who was also the Lions’ director of entertainment, penned the
lyrics and music for “Gridiron Heroes–The Victory Song of the Detroit Lions.” The sound of
“Gridiron Heroes” has become one of the NFL’s oldest and most popular songs today, and it is
still played after each Lions’ score.
(Verse) Hail the colors Blue and Silver let them wave.
Sing the song and cheer the Gridiron Heroes brave,
Fighting for fame, winning the game.
Dashing to victory as they go.
(Chorus) Forward down the field,
A charging team that will not yield.
And when the Blue and Silver wave,
Stand and cheer the brave.
Rah, Rah, Rah!
Go hard win the game.
With honor you will keep your fame
Down the field and gain, A Lion victory!

NAMING THE LIONS
Tales
When the team moved to Detroit from Portsmouth,
Ohio in 1934, the organization settled on the name
that would be uttered in Detroit and all around the
league to this very day. After deciding to be known
as the Lions, (staying consistent with the jungle cat
image of the city’s baseball team, the Tigers) two
Lion cubs were given to the team by John Millen
of the Detroit Zoo. Their names were “Grid” and
“Iron.” They accompanied the team to all of their
games. The previous Detroit professional football
teams were known as the Heralds, Panthers and
the Wolverines.

Only a handful of great teams over the years in the NFL can claim the title of dynasty. One of those great teams were the Detroit
Lions in the 1950s when the franchise captured world championships three times in a six-year span. Winning three championships
in six years has occurred only nine times by eight different teams in the history of the NFL. Detroit won back-to-back titles in 1952
and 1953 and became the third team since the beginning of NFL Championship games in 1933 to win championships in consecutive
years. Overall since ‘33, back-to-back titles has occurred just 15 times. Including 1954, the Lions appeared in the NFL title game
four times in a six-year period. Above are images of the game program covers from the team’s championship seasons in the 1950s.

Lions Thanksgiving Day Tradition
It was, legend says, a typically colorful, probably chilly, November day
in 1622 that Pilgrims and Native Americans celebrated the new world’s
bounty with a sumptuous feast.
They sat together at Plymouth Plantation (they spelled it Plimouth)
in Massachusetts, gave thanks for the goodness set before them, then
dined on pumpkin pie, sweet potatoes, maize, cranberry sauce, turkey
and who knows what else.
Actually, fish was just as predominant a staple. And history books say
pumpkin pie really debuted a year later. But regardless of the accuracy
of the details, that’s how Thanksgiving Day is seen by Americans -except Detroiters.
They may have most of the same images as everyone else, but with
a new twist that began in 1934.
That’s when Detroiters and their outstate Michigan compatriots
found themselves at the dawn of an unplanned behavior modification,
courtesy of George A. “Dick” Richards, owner of the city’s new entry in
the National Football League: The Detroit Lions.
Larry Paladino, Lions Pride, 1993
Four generations of Detroiters have been a proud part of the American
celebration of Thanksgiving. The relationship between Detroit and
Thanksgiving dates back to 1934 when owner G.A. Richards scheduled
a holiday contest between his first-year Lions and the Chicago Bears.
Some 76 years later, fans throughout Michigan have transformed an
annual holiday event into the single greatest tradition in the history
of American professional team sports. Indeed, if football is America’s
passion, Thanksgiving football is Detroit’s passion.
Richards, the first owner of the Detroit Lions, was behind the Lions’
inaugural Thanksgiving game in 1934. Richards had purchased the team
in June of that year and moved the Lions from Portsmouth, Ohio, to the
Motor City. The Lions were the new kids in town and had taken a backseat
to the Tigers of baseball. Despite the fact that the Lions had lost just
one game prior to the Thanksgiving Day game that season, the largest
crowd that season had been just 15,000.
The opponent for the Lions’ first Thanksgiving Day game November
29, 1934 was the undefeated, defending World Champion Chicago
Bears of George Halas and the rising star of that era, fullback Bronko
Nagurski. The game would determine the champion of the Western
Division. Richards had convinced the NBC Radio Network to carry the
game coast-to-coast (94 stations), and additionally, an estimated
26,000 jammed into University of Detroit Stadium while thousands of
disappointed fans were turned away.
In the inaugural game, the Bears won 19-16 and a classic was born.
Since ‘34, the Lions have played 70 Thanksgiving Day games and Detroit
has a 33-35-2 in the series. A total of 3,922,027 fans have witnessed
Thanksgiving Day games in Detroit. The Lions Thanksgiving Day classic
has been sold out in each of the last 15 seasons (since 1994).
The Detroit Lions 71st Thanksgiving Day Classic will feature the Lions
hosting the New England Patriots Thursday, November 25. This year’s
game between the Lions and the Patriots is the third meeting between
the teams since 2000 (third overall) on Thanksgiving. In the past 10
years, New England is the Lions second-most common opponent on
Thanksgiving behind Green Bay.
The Thanksgiving Day Lions-Patriots series is tied at 1-1. The Lions
claimed victory in the first Thanksgiving Day meeting between the clubs
with a 34-9 win in 2000 at the Pontiac Silverdome. In 2002, the Patriots
returned to Detroit on Thanksgiving and captured a 20-12 victory over
the Lions at Ford Field.

Note: Prior to 1972, a team’s winning pct. was calculated using wins and losses, disregarding
ties. (Ex: Detroit’s record in the 1960s was 2-6-2 and their winning pct. was .250, two wins/
two wins + six losses). Since 1972, ties have been calculated in winning pct. as a half-a-win.

Detroit Lions Uniform History
1934-1947: The first uniform
donned by the Detroit Lions
included a blue jersey with
gleaming silver numerals, silver
pants and a silver helmet. The
shoes were black. The shade of
blue used for the jersey became
known as ‘Honolulu’ blue.
1948: Alvin ‘Bo’ McMillin joined
the Lions after having success
as a college coach at Indiana
University. Soon after his arrival,
McMillin changed the colors of
the Lions’ uniforms with the new
colors resembling those of his
Hoosier teams. The organization
retained Honolulu blue and silver as
their official colors
¾¾ The jersey was scarlet with white
numbers and the pants were white
with a thin black stripe between
two thin scarlet stripes. The helmets were black. All the players
wore leather helmets that season
due to the league’s ban on plastic
helmets.
¾¾ The team had a second, all-black
uniform, which would be worn
only for certain important games
that McMillin particularly wished
to win. The jersey was black with
white numbers and the pants were
black with a thin scarlet stripe
between two thin white stripes.
¾¾ The two uniform sets ended up being worn in four different
combinations (scarlet/white; black/black; scarlet/black;
black/white).
1949: The Lions returned to wearing their Honolulu blue and
silver uniforms at home but continued to wear combinations of
the scarlet and white uniforms and the all-black uniforms on
the road. The team changed the color of their helmet to blue
and some players went back to wearing plastic helmets after
the NFL lifted the ban on plastic headgear from the previous
season.
1950-55: After wearing five different combinations of scarlet, white, black, silver and
Honolulu blue in the previous two seasons,
the Lions went back to wearing the traditional Honolulu blue and silver uniforms
at home and on the road. For most of the
1950 season the team wore blue helmets
but went back to wearing silver helmets for
the 1951 season. During the early 50’s, the NFL did not allow
the Lions to wear silver helmets for night games because of
their resemblance to the white ball under the night lights. They
spray-painted their helmets blue for night games. Also, in 1951,
the Lions wore the Detroit 250th Anniversary patch on their left
sleeve. The patch was also worn by the Red Wings and Tigers.
1956: This was the first season that
the Lions added their uniform numbers
to the arm sleeves. Some players, like
Lions Hall of Fame LT Lou Creekmur,
were unhappy with the change – claiming that it made it harder to get away
with holding.
1957-60: The Lions began wearing
separate colored uniforms on the road
on a permanent basis in 1957. The jersey was white with three blue stripes,
one thick between two thin stripes, on
the sleeves. The numbers were blue and the helmet and pants
remained silver.
¾¾ They wore a white jersey on at least one other occasion in
a previous season. On October 24, 1954, the Lions wore a
similar white uniform in a game at San Francisco which they
lost, 37-31, to the 49ers.
1961-67: In 1961, William Clay Ford’s first season as the
team’s president, there were
some significant uniform changes.
The helmet remained silver with
a grey facemask but now had the
leaping-lion logo as well as two
vertical blue stripes running from
the back to the front. The pants
also had two vertical blue stripes.
Three silver stripes, one thick between two thin, were added to the
arm sleeves of the home jersey.
The away jersey remained the
same.
¾¾ During the mid-60s, many players cut off part of the sleeves–
giving appearance of only one or two stripes.
1968-69: 1968 was the first year the Lions had a white stripe
between the two blue stripes on the helmet. The Lions and the
rest of the league wore the NFL 50th Anniversary patch on their
left shoulder in 1969.
1970-71: Last names were added to the back of the players’
jerseys in silver lettering and white trim was added to the Leaping Lion logo on the helmet in 1970.
¾¾ For the second half of the 1971 season, the Lions wore a
black band, which was sewn over the thick stripe on the
left sleeve on their home and away jerseys, in honor of wide
receiver Chuck Hughes. Hughes died of a heart attack with 62
seconds remaining in the fourth quarter against the Chicago
Bears on October 24, 1971.
1972: The Honolulu blue home jersey had white trim on the
silver numerals and the white jerseys had silver trim on blue
numerals for the first time in 1972. It was also the first year
that there was a white, vertical stripe between the two blue
stripes on the pants.
¾¾ The Lions tweaked the striping on the arm-sleeves for that
season as well. The home jerseys had the one thick silver
stripe between two thin white stripes and the away jersey
had the one thick blue stripe between to thin silver stripes.
1973-75: Detroit changed back to the three
silver stripes, one thick between two thin, on
the sleeves of the Honolulu blue home jersey
except now they had white trim. The away
white jersey had three blue stripes, one thick
between two thin, and they had silver trim.
¾¾
For the 1974 season, the Lions
wore a black band, which was sewn over the thick stripe
on the left sleeve of their home and away jerseys, in honor
of Head Coach Don McCafferty who died of a heart attack
during training camp.
¾¾ 1974 was also the season that the Lions started wearing
white shoes.
1976-79: In 1976, the players’ numbers were added to the
back of the helmet.
1980-81: The Lions changed the dull silver stripes and trimming on their uniforms to a shimmering silver glitter. This only
lasted two seasons because of complaints by other teams
about the glare.
1982-97:
¾¾ 1982: The Lions changed the color of the numbers on their
home jerseys, making them white with silver trim.
¾¾ 1983: The Lions wore a 50th Anniversary patch on their left
shoulder. The Lions changed their facemask from silver/grey
to Honolulu blue.
¾¾ 1991: The team wore a patch honoring Russ Thomas, a for-
History Book
mer player and General Manager for
the Lions, who had recently passed
away. For their final seven games
(five regular season, two postseason),
each player had a white circle decal
with a blue number ’60,’ on the back
right side of the helmet, in honor of
RG Mike Utley. Utley suffered a spinal
cord injury in a game against the Los
Angeles Rams on November 17, 1991.
The small NFL shield was added to
the ‘V’ of the neck.
¾¾ 1992: They wore a black circle decal with a white number
‘65,’ on the back right side of the helmet, in honor of LG Eric
Andolsek, who was killed a few months prior to the season.
¾¾ 1993: The Lions wore a 60th Anniversary patch on their
left shoulder.
¾¾ 1994: The Lions wore throwback jerseys for the 1994 season
while the NFL was celebrating their 75th anniversary. This
version of the uniform was intended to replicate the jersey
worn by the Lions in 1935, which was the season that the
team won their first world championship. Several players wore
a black circle decal with a white number ’50,’ on the back right
side of the helmet in honor of former Lions’ LB Toby Caston.
1998: In what turned out to be Barry Sanders final season, the
Lions changed their look on the road, wearing blue pants with a
white stripe between two silver stripes.
1999: The Lions returned to wearing
silver pants (with white stripe between
two blue stripes) on the road.
2000-02: In 2000, the Lions moved the
numbers that were on the sleeves up to
the shoulders.
¾¾ The Lions wore a
patch commemorating
the first game at Ford Field September 22,
2002 against the Green Bay Packers.
2003: The home jersey has a thick silver stripe
between two thin blue stripes with
white trim and two thin black stripes.
The numbers are white with silver trim
and outside black trim. The away jersey
has a thick blue stripe between two thin
silver stripes with white trim and two
thin black stripes. The numbers on the
away jersey are blue with silver trim and
outside black trim.
The helmet has one vertical white stripe
between two blue stripes and two thin
black stripes on the outside. The Leaping Lion has white trim and outside
black trim and the facemask is black.
The pants have one vertical thick white stripe between two blue
stripes and two thin black stripes.

prehensive brand that includesMedia.Detroitlions.com
a new logo and new uniforms.
As part of the new comprehensive brand, the Lions also introduced a new logotype and a new proprietary font, “NFL Lions.”
The new logotype is additional imagery that presents the Lions
brand and will be featured in such prominent places as the endzone marking at Ford Field. The classic Honolulu blue, white
and black colors remain unchanged.
Home Honolulu Blue Jerseys
¾¾ Numerals were customized specifically for the Lions uniform.
They are Honolulu Blue, trimmed in silver and black.
¾¾ Above the new numerals is the new Lions logotype.
¾¾ On the collar, there are three trim lines of equal width, with
two black trim lines outside a silver trim line.
¾¾ The sleeves are a new knit sleeve that features a wide silver
trim, inside two smaller white trims and those all inside
two black trims of equal width as the white trim. The new
material is improved and more flexible for players. The trim
is part of the knit-sleeve material, which was changed from
the previous silk-screened sleeve.
¾¾ Numerals remain on the shoulders but are now in the customized Lions jersey numerals.
¾¾ Players’ nameplates on the back of the uniform have slightly
modified block letters from the previous block letter names
on the back of the uniform.
Road White Jerseys
¾¾ The road jerseys are the traditional “road whites,” with blue
numerals trimmed in silver and black.
¾¾ On the road jerseys, the collar is in the same black and silver
trim pattern as the home uniforms.
¾¾ Sleeves are of the same new knit-sleeve material that are
on the new home uniforms. The trim on the sleeves includes
a wide Honolulu blue trim, inside two smaller silver trims
and those are all inside two black trims of equal width as
the white trim.
Helmet
¾¾ The helmet now features the new logo on each side. It is the
most significant change since the Lions logo was first placed
on the team’s helmet in 1961.
¾¾ The facemasks will remain black, but the new Lions logotype
will be included on the front and the back of the helmet.
¾¾ At the top middle of the helmet, the striping pattern has been
modified. Instead of a thick white stripe, two Honolulu blue
stripes and a very thin black accent stripe, the helmet striping
pattern is now a 5/8-inch Honolulu blue stripe, two 3/16-inch
white stripes and two 3/16-inch black stripes. The striping
pattern is the same striping pattern as the team’s game pants.
Pants and Game Socks
¾¾ The game pants will remain in the team’s traditional silver.
Like the striping pattern on the helmet, the pants vertical trim
on the side of the legs are now a thick Honolulu blue stripe
inside smaller white stripes, which are all inside black stripes
that are the same width as the white stripes.
¾¾ The game socks, which are the same for the home and road
uniforms, now have a 5/8-inch black stripe on the calf midline.
The top half is Honolulu blue and the bottom half is white.
2005: The Lions introduced a new
black alternate jersey featuring Honolulu Blue numbers with silver and
white trim. The alternate jersey can
be worn in as many as two regular
season games and one preseason
game.
2008: To commemorate the Detroit
Lions 75th Season, the team wore a
patch on the home and away jerseys.
Additionally, the Lions
wore the franchise’s
classic “throwback” uniform sans 75th Season patch for two games.

2008-May 2010) of Mayhew’s time as the team’s general manager.
¾¾ The following veterans on the Lions’ current roster were acquired via trade: QB Shaun
Hill, CB Chris Houston, WR Dennis Northcutt, LB Julian Peterson, TE Tony Scheffler,
S Ko Simpson, G Rob Sims and DT Corey Williams.
¾¾ Projected starters among the group veterans acquired via trade could include Houston,
Peterson, Scheffler, Sims and Williams.
¾¾ Two of the biggest trades the Lions made since October 2008 involved the team
acquiring a second first round draft choice in the 2009 and 2010 NFL Drafts. It marked
the first time in team history that the Lions had two picks in the first round in backto-back drafts. On October 14, 2008, the Lions consummated a trade with the Dallas
Cowboys (WR Roy Williams) that gave the team the 20th overall pick on the first round
of the 2009 NFL Draft. On the first day of the 2010 NFL Draft, the Lions exchanged
picks with the Minnesota Vikings to move back into the first round by acquiring the
30th pick of the draft. In 2009, the Lions drafted TE Brandon Pettigrew and in 2010
they selected RB Jahvid Best.
¾¾ Another example of Mayhew’s diligence occurred at the end of the team’s 2009 training
camp when the Lions claimed QB Kevin O’Connell off waivers on September 1, 2009
and flipped that transaction into a trade with the New York Jets for a 2011 seventh
round choice. With two picks in the seventh round of the 2011 draft, the Lions used
the extra pick to acquire QB Shaun Hill from the San Francisco 49ers. The veteran
quarterback is projected as the team’s backup quarterback in 2010.
