About the Detroit Lions
The Detroit Lions are a founding member of the National Football League, established in 1929 as the Portsmouth Spartans in Portsmouth, Ohio, before relocating to Detroit in 1934 under new owner George Richards, who renamed the team to pair with the city’s baseball club, the Tigers. The franchise won four NFL Championships in 1935, 1952, 1953, and 1957, but has not won a title since and has never reached a Super Bowl. The Lions play home games at Ford Field, a downtown domed stadium that opened in 2002 and holds roughly 65,000 fans. Under head coach Dan Campbell, hired in January 2021, the team won its first NFC North division title since 1993 during the 2023 season and advanced to the NFC Championship Game for the first time since 1991, a breakthrough that reshaped the franchise’s modern identity.
What’s Inside This Collection
Current Stars
Quarterback Jared Goff, wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown, tight end Sam LaPorta, running back Jahmyr Gibbs, offensive tackle Penei Sewell, and punter Jack Fox each get a solo portrait page, all current Lions who anchored the team’s 2023 breakthrough season and remain on the roster.
Coaching and Ownership
Head coach Dan Campbell appears on the sideline, and principal owner Sheila Ford Hamp, granddaughter of longtime owner William Clay Ford, appears in her own portrait page.
Past Roster Members
Linebacker Alex Anzalone, defensive end Charles Harris, and linebacker Jalen Reeves-Maybin each played meaningful roles on the Lions’ 2023 roster and have since moved on to other teams, while quarterback Teddy Bridgewater served as a Lions backup before later retiring from the league. Their pages remain a record of that breakthrough season’s roster.
Logo, Uniform, and Mascot
The final pages cover the franchise’s leaping lion logo, the full Honolulu Blue and Silver game uniform, and Roary the Lion, the team’s costumed mascot who appears at Ford Field and community events.
What These Pages Do
A player portrait built from jersey numbers, facial detail, and uniform trim gives colorists real practice with precise, small-scale work, while the logo and uniform pages offer a cleaner, more graphic kind of coloring. The American Academy of Pediatrics identifies fine motor skill development as a genuine benefit of structured coloring for children ages 2 through 7, and the range here, from a simple logo to a detailed player portrait, lets that practice scale with a colorist’s ability.
A 2005 Art Therapy Journal study linked structured coloring sessions to measurable reductions in anxiety, and working carefully through a single player’s uniform detail, jersey number by jersey number, gives fans that same kind of focused, absorbing activity.
How to Color Detroit Lions Pages Well
- Honolulu Blue: a medium blue with a slight teal bias, distinctly lighter and cooler than navy, is the team’s signature color and should stay consistent across every jersey and helmet.
- Silver: a cool, slightly blue-toned grey works better than a warm grey, since the real uniform silver reads as metallic rather than flat.
- Jersey numbers: silver numbers outlined in white keep player portraits reading clearly as Lions uniforms.
- Player skin tones: use natural, realistic skin colors on the player pages, since these are portraits of real people rather than stylized characters.
- The leaping lion logo: Honolulu Blue for the body and mane details against a white or silver background keeps the logo reading correctly on both the helmet and standalone pages.
