During Week 8 of the NFL season, the Detroit Lions and Jacksonville Jaguars will debut their respective “Rivalries” alternate uniforms, ESPN México reported. The league-wide slate features specialized gear for matchups across the schedule, highlighted by Jacksonville’s “Bold City” design and Detroit’s “Defend the Den” aesthetic as Halloween approaches.
The Jacksonville Jaguars unveiled their “Bold City” uniform suite for their matchup against the Indianapolis Colts. The design features a high-gloss teal helmet equipped with a gold facemask, accompanied by the team’s “904” area code displayed on the front and the “Duuuval” battle cry marked on the back. The white jerseys pair black numbers—featuring teal drop shadows and a jaguar spot pattern—with gold accents. The matching black pants incorporate a teal side stripe edged in gold, alongside a subtle pattern containing the names of several Jacksonville neighborhoods hidden within the jaguar spots.
Detroit Lions Reveal Defend the Den Uniforms
The Detroit Lions are introducing their “Defend the Den” uniform combination for their game against the Minnesota Vikings. The predominantly silver kit features italicized black numbers slanted forward to simulate motion, while shoulder striping where Honolulu blue meets black mimics the gaze of a stalking lion. The Honolulu blue helmet showcases a carbon fiber-style black finish on the team logo, a styling choice intended to honor Detroit’s automotive and racing culture. The same lion-eye motif carries over to the side stripes of the silver pants.
