I like the silver numbers, but object to the white lining around them. Make it plain silver, like the Raiders.Ten Minute Ticker wrote: ↑Wed Sep 24, 2025 10:07 pm One cool thing about the Lions of that era? The silver numbers on the Honolulu blue jerseys.
I recall that the Lions tied the game on an 80-yard TD pass from Eric Hipple to Billy Sims with two minutes left, and then they won with that Eddie Murray FG.Ten Minute Ticker wrote: ↑Wed Sep 24, 2025 2:54 pm I lived in Dallas at the time. The Lions beat them on a game-winning field goal with 12 men on the field. Cowboys fans raised holy hell.
Wouldn’t have changed NFC home field advantage as the Cowboys would have been 13-3, but still would have lost the tiebreaker to the 13-3 49ers.
What’s odd about that Lions schedule is that they never played a truly bad team. The 6-10 Rams and 6-10 Bears were the worst teams they played.
