The Detroit Lions are playing Green Bay on the tube. Last I checked, they were pulling off an upset.
It took me a bit to realize that it was, in fact, the Lions playing. I thought it was yet another retro day (Green Bay's mask is silver instead of modern-day green). Turns out that the Lions have a tradition of wearing a unique uniform for Turkey Day. Not a throwback as the helmet was never worn regularly (though they had a similar one from 1952-60), just an alternate alternate uniform.
Between the Texans special red uniform, throwback week a half dozen games a year, and things like this, one gets the feeling that some day they're just going to be done with it and wear a different uniform each game.
Oh well, at least it's better than
baseball.
