NFL Football – About the Detroit Lions This team got its start in 1929 as an independent team called the Portsmouth Spartancs in Portsmouth, Ohio. They formalled joined the NFL in 1930 after many independent teams failed because of the Great Depression. The team was purchased and moved to Detroit in 1934 where it played relatively well until 1957. This was the last year they won an NFL Championship, giving them the second-longest Championship Drought in history (behind the Arizona Cardinals). The Lions have been Honolulu Blue, Silver, Black and White for most of their history, with just a blip of maroon in the 1948 season. That season’s head coach Bo McMilin make this change, likely influence by his time coaching at Indiana. Moreover, the general design of the uniform has stayed nearly the same since 1930 with silver helmets, silver pants and blue or white jerseys. Although the Detroit Lions football program has seen its share of hardships, they’ve managed to secure the Thanksgiving Day game. In the 1930s, a George Richards (a radio executive) led a group that purchased the Lions and brought them to Detroit. Through these connections, they played the Thanksgiving Day game and the tradition remains in place until this day.
