Why stop there? I mean Scott Ackles certainly could take the Club Presidents reign from Skulsky....but why not have Braley sell the team to Francesco Aquilini? Aquilini would only want to make money. He would only look to NFL pursuits if he owned the Lions. Aquilini is not in anything for the love ...

The biggest tragedy of all of this is that it seems all the hard earned work of Bob Ackles is going down the tubes. When he returned to the Lions. He found a football team from the front office on down that was in complete disarray. He brought his wealth of knowledge and unique chemistry to bear an...

We all have opinions on what is plaguing the Lions and in reality there is not one issue, it is many things occuring at different times. To me this indicates a team that is in complete dissaray with a culture of losing ingrained into it. I don't buy the opinion that you cant make changes mid-season...

New uniforms are on the way via Reebok, league wide. I am going to try and pitch the uniform design I have already drawn up with a macintosh computer to the team. Just trying to hook up with Sales and marketing staff before it's too late. The deal for new uniforms was signed last year so it might be...

Secondary was better in this game. Better coverage and fewer big payas given up. Tackling can still be better more of the time but Kornegay can help. Arland Bruce is going to rock, on the offence, and I think Geroy and Bruce are going to make each other better. Shawn Gore is looking better and bette...

I have no problem with the current logo and if changes are going to be made I would prefer some minor tinkering to the current design. I am in the minority with this but I think the 70's logo is too simple and dated. Retro, yes no question, but in a gold-flecked formica countertop kind of way. From...

Here's what Drew Edwards from the Ti-Cats blog had to say: Despite Bruce's stellar numbers last year, there is concern in Ticat circles that the slow start to this season (nine catches, 104 yards, zero touchdowns) is the continuation of a slide that started in the latter half of last season and man...

Arland Bruce in BC? Great move. He's a threat that defences must pay attention too. The word out of Hamilton is that he was a good team mate and helped the younger receivers with the mental side of the game. He's a play maker that may be past his prime but still very capable of being an effective su...

When teams are winning, fans have a tendency to think they're better than they are (the Lions' 11-0 start in 2005 is just one example.) That goes for the coaches and players on those teams. When they're losing, (the Lions' 0-5 start this year, 1-7 start last year), fans tend to think the teams, and...

Braley gives his endorsement to WB , what else do we expect ? Of course he does , what is he supposed to say publicly ? He's not going to say "Okay Wally has another 5 games(or 2 ,3 or whatever number) to turn it around or he's gone " even if he's thinking that . What kind or PR would tha...

The more I look at it, the 70's retro (i.e Brent Johnson) photo may be the way to go with a couple of small tweaks to freshen up the look for 2012. My big fear is that RBK does something stupid. Look on You Tube and see some of the rumoured NFL prototypes from Nike!!! I don't know how much input th...

Dominic, You may be right going back to the black helmet with the 70's retro logo. Maybe just stylize it a bit. The one thing I would get rid of all together is the BC within the logo. I think it makes it too busy. I think the simple orange LION (70'S) on a black helmet would look classic and mean!...

The more I look at it, the 70's retro look may be the best. I do like the black helmet for sure and grey pants. i'm not totally sold on the orange jersey. I have always preferred the black jersey over the orange. One thing I definitely know, NO ORANGE helmet. It looks like a pumpkin! I have a felin...

Be sure to bring a straw if the paper bag look keeps you buying tickets!

This is my favorite helmet design (worn from '68 - '77 - see "home" uniform in my post above). Not sold on the orange cage. I think I prefer the traditional grey or black. http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c302/oceanvista/70slionshelmet.png DH :cool: I like the two tone "triple"...
