For the Lions fan who also enjoys the sounds of AC/DC, a bit of merch that combines both your passions.

They've done this, a jersey riffing on a hometown sports team for every stop on their tour this year, with the represented sport varying by city, although it seems these jerseys have no authorisation from the respective leagues. It's interesting they went Lions instead of Canucks for Vancouver, seeing how they went NHL in Montreal and Toronto, and even in Quebec City who are still in the current round of bidding for NHL expansion. They also went CFL for Edmonton and Winnipeg.

The Lions-themed one follows the discontinued gun metal grey colour scheme.
Sports can be a peculiar thing. When partaking in fiction, like a book or movie, we adopt a "Willing Suspension of Disbelief" for enjoyment's sake. There's a similar force at work in sports: "Willing Suspension of Rationality". If you doubt this, listen to any conversation between rival team fans. You even see it among fans of the same team. Fans argue over who's the better QB or goalie, and selectively cite stats that support their views while ignoring those that don't.
