The Lions have one playoff appearance in which they were blown out, and they haven’t really done anything to address the area of their team that caused them to be blown out, the secondary. Plus, sustaining year-to-year success in the NFL is far harder as there are fewer playoff spots and there is a lot f parity in the NFC.

At any rate, the point is, it’s lame to rip off a look/slogan from one of the most iconic teams in recent NBA history.

They were a contending team for at least two seasons before winning their first title and they'd been to the playoff four straight years before their first Finals loss. The point is, they had a long history, they earned that nickname/reputation, and it's lame that the logo that is identified with that team and that era is being ripped off, particularly to celebrate a team that hasn't accomplished much yet.</p> Get over what?

So I guess selling a shirt celebrating their improvement is a positive, even if it does rip off one of the most iconic eras in Detroit sports history.</p> Yeah, I should’ve made that more clear in the post — this shirt isn’t the organization’s idea or doing, it’s an independent business that, according to the article I linked to, previously made money by selling shirts that mocked the Lions.

The company doesn't need the Lions permission to sell it because it doesn't say Lions on it anywhere. They are just trying to make some money off it, and I'm sure they'll sell plenty of them, even though it is pretty lame. “Come up with your own brand Lions.”

I think it speaks to the hopes of the Lions, but I agree it's pre-mature. “Watcha gonna do when they come for you?”
