Sometimes, football fans are treated to a truly aesthetically pleasing combination of uniforms. Monday night’s game between the Detroit Lions and Las Vegas Raiders was not one of those occasions.
While the Raiders donned their typical silver-white-silver road combo, the Lions instead chose to roll out their alternates, featuring a new blue helmet with gray jerseys and pants.
It doesn’t take a design expert to see that the broadcast was dominated by an overabundance of greyish tones, and viewers did not appreciate it.
NFL fans took to social media to voice their disgust at the Monday Night Football uniform decisions.
The Lions' blue helmets are so good, and the gray uniforms are so bad. pic.twitter.com/JRVqf7deoC

Feel like this game would look no different in black and white. Awful 2/3 grey uniform matchup (but great Lions helmets).

I can't decide if I like this Lions helmet, but I do know I hate that it is paired with the awful all gray uniforms. pic.twitter.com/0MqxbRl9tW

Idk what high school the Detroit Lions stole their uniforms from but they need to give them back. They’re hideous. And wtf is that updated helmet design?

There is only one team the Lions can’t wear this uniform against and it’s the Raiders

Whoever signed off on this uniform combo for the #Raiders and #Lions is a menace to society.

Whoever decided that the all gray Lions uniforms should match up against the all white Raiders uniforms needs to be let go. #NFL #MondayNightFootball #mnf #LVvsDET
