DETROIT — The Detroit Lions will be celebrating their 90th season in style.

On Wednesday, the team unveiled its new alternative blue helmets paying homage to the organization’s heritage with a classic logo from the 1960s.

The Lions will wear the helmets with their all-gray alternate uniforms during the 2023-24 season in two games: Monday Night Football on Oct. 30 against the Las Vegas Raiders, then in Week 18 against the Minnesota Vikings.

The new helmet also features a gray matte facemask. The shade of blue featured on the helmet has never been worn in the NFL before.
