Re: Genius? - Apparently not

I wouldn't say "if it ain't broke don't fix it" in this case. Stats have always been pretty slim pickings during the game. Just compare the in game stats board in an NFL game to what we get at Lions games. We should have a full stats board that would fit nicely on the side panels of the bi...

Re: New Uni's for 2023? (update)

I also agree with preferring white outlines on numbers. I'd like orange AND white on the sleeves. I don't know about white socks, but maybe the same stripes as the sleeves. And then an orange cage. I think they didn't do these things because they wanted to go more black. I'm not concerned about them...

Re: New Uni's for 2023? (update)

No I don't see that on the shoulder stripes at all. But the colours of both will probably show up better once we see them with something else to compare with. And I think people saying they look like the Browns will see that in person or on the field they won't. I see what they're saying but the Bro...

Re: New Uni's for 2023? (update)

I really dont think anyone who bought a jersey in the last few years should be upset. I still wear my orange jersey from the 2012 Lulay era and it doesn't bother me. It's still a Lions jersey from some period. I actually like having a variety of different era jerseys. But I never did buy the most re...

Re: New Uni's for 2023? (update)

I knew it. New uniforms.

Black at home. Fog grey on road. I only wish there was a third orange jersey, but I like that road jersey actually.

Re: New Uni's for 2023? (update)

At the very least, they should sell older retro jerseys in their shop. The fact they don't is crazy.

Re: New Uni's for 2023? (update)

The thing with the 2000s was they didn't have the same classic look. No striped on the helmet, no arm strip and I thought the pant stripes should have been reversed in colour. Orange cage instead of black also makes a big difference. I'd be happy as long as they keep some kind or traditional element...

Re: New Uni's for 2023? (update)

First thing, the Lions are not the Cowboys, Packers or Canadiens. As much as you'd love them to have this fabled uniform, they don't. But you could compare them to other classic teams that do update or tweak their uniforms once in a while. I agree if they came out with one that was totally solid, th...

Re: Rourke NFL workouts: chooses Jacksonville

We aren't the ones not getting it. Rourke had no dream of playing in the CFL. No money would keep him from trying to follow his dream, which was the NFL. I think even of we paid him 1M he would not have stayed.

Re: Rourke NFL workouts: chooses Jacksonville

I know its still over 20 years ago, but Jeff Garcia is in the realm of the "ipod era" way more than he is in the Brock, Moon era. This period you've determined is meaningless. He played in the 2000s. But it's always been rare that a QB goes down and starts. (Whether he was backup first or ...

Re: New Uni's for 2022?

I wish they'd add a helmet stripe, even if it's just one single orange stripe. They just look too boring without. Another thing I've been wondering lately, and it could just be they don't have stock, but it's pretty odd to be sold out of so many jerseys for so long. They also aren't offering stitche...

Re: Rourke NFL workouts: chooses Jacksonville

He said since the ipod invention, which would be Garcia. Garcia had a much larger resume in the CFL than Rourke before going down and was backup before becoming a ProBowler.

Could you tell me the last time this happened in the 21st century?

Jeff Garcia. Went down and was backup to a hall of famer who got hurt, giving Garcia the chance to show his talent. He remained a starter after that. Does that count?

Re: Braley Wants to Sell Lions

I don't know if it was a league thing or not, but I do know the Islanders used "We're All Islanders" if they don't still. The thing is it works for Islanders, because the fans would be actual islanders. The same way most Canucks fans are Canadian, hence "canucks" . Doesn't quite ...

Re: How to attract Fans back to the BC Lion games?

The argument that there is no atmosphere at BC Place is not accurate in my opinion. Nothing has atmosphere when people aren't there. But when it's a good crowd the place is filled with energy. They definitely need to keep that roof open almost every night, just to change the mindset of the place. An...
