Word is there's a big sale on Lions' gear at detroitlionsstore.com -- 80% off, though not much is left. It sounds like they're getting rid of stuff to get ready for a new logo.
New Lions uniforms -- and logo -- could be revealed soon -

New Lions uniforms -- and logo -- could be revealed soon

The Detroit Lions have been very secretive about their plans for the draft and free agency, but they're being just as coy about their plans to change the team uniforms and logo. However, veteran defensive tackle Grady Jackson, during a radio interview Monday night, let something out of the bag.
Jackson, who recently signed as a free agent and probably didn't realize the Lions wanted to keep their new uniforms and logo a secret for awhile, made a comment about how he liked the Lions' new look, including a remark that he liked the "new colors.'' This morning, I contacted a Lions official who wouldn't say a word about the possibility of new uniforms or logo but it appears unlikely the team would change its colors.
Meanwhile, the Lions' official online store is having a blowout sale to clear out all of their remaining gear with the old logo. Some items are marked down 80 percent. With the old stuff gone, the Lions are going to need to stock those empty shelves with new merchandise. The question now is: How soon will they unveil it?
The Lions have a press conference scheduled for this afternoon with head coach Jim Schwartz, but I was told it has nothing to do with the uniforms and logo.
