Lions fans, get ready to see more variety on the field in 2025. Thanks to a new NFL rule, teams can now wear their alternate or throwback uniforms up to four times per season instead of three. This change comes in response to growing fan enthusiasm and a push from teams to mix up their on-field look more often.
For the Detroit Lions, this means more opportunities to showcase their striking all-black alternate uniforms and their classic throwbacks, alongside the traditional Honolulu blue and silver. The black uniforms, which made their debut in 2025, were an instant hit among players and fans, bringing a bold, modern edge to the team’s look. Now, with an extra game to wear them, expect to see them more frequently, especially in high-profile matchups.
Throwback uniforms are also expected to get more usage. The Lions have a deep history in the NFL, and their vintage-inspired uniforms have been a fan favorite for years. Whether it’s the classic 1950s look or a nod to Barry Sanders’ era, the team has plenty of options to celebrate its past while looking toward the future.
While the league still doesn’t allow alternate uniforms in the Super Bowl, this new rule gives teams much more flexibility during the regular season. For Detroit, this means more chances to stand out, whether it’s under the lights at Ford Field or on the road in a primetime showdown. Expect Dan Campbell’s squad to embrace the change and bring some extra style to the field in 2025.
