"We always play well in the 'blueberries.'"
That sound bite from quarterback Jared Goff from Week 3 in 2023 has formed the foundation of the Detroit Lions' approach to their uniform combination in recent seasons. Whether it's superstition or simply a matter of "look good, feel good," the Lions have made a habit of matching colors in their uniforms. This typically means fans have primarily seen the Lions wear all blue, the "blueberries," at home, or all white, the "marshmallows," on the road in recent seasons.
It's time for that tradition to end.
When the Lions introduced their latest uniform scheme, fans got to see currently unused combinations in the regular season like the blue top and white pants, the white top and blue pants, and the black top and blue pants.
