Blueberries are on the menu at Ford Field on Sunday. The Detroit Lions revealed they will rock the blue-on-blue uniforms against the Chicago Bears in the home opener.
Affectionately known as the “blueberries” combination, the Lions have been quite successful in the blue jerseys, blue pants and blue socks with white trim and the traditional silver helmet. Detroit won all five regular-season games in the blueberries in 2024 after debuting the combination in the 2023 playoff win over the Rams. One of those wins in 2024 came against the Bears in Week 11.
The Lions did lose in these uniforms in the NFC divisional round to Washington after last season, though the volume of LIons defensive players not in uniform due to injuries played a much bigger role than anything fashion-related.
