In 1961, the team developed a new color palette and changed the logo to go with it. The colors became Honolulu blue, silver, and white. Honolulu blue is a hue that was inspired by the waves that hit along the coast of Hawaii. The logo became a white lion with a blue outline.

Only four active NFL teams have never appeared in a Super Bowl: Cleveland Browns, Detroit Lions, Jacksonville Jaguars, and Houston Texans. Two of those teams – the Browns and Lions – appeared in (and won) the NFL Championship – before the AFL and NFL merged for the 1966 season.
“He had asked us to look at the different jerseys in the next room. There were all different colors, orange and black, red and white, you name it. We saw that Honolulu blue and silver and said we liked it best. So Richards chose that.”
The Lions do not intend to change their longtime color scheme of Honolulu blue and silver, but it will be a change from the current uniform design, which has been in place in Detroit since 2017.
Their coats are yellow-gold, and adult males have shaggy manes that range in color from blond to reddish-brown to black. The length and color of a lion's mane is likely determined by age, genetics and hormones. Young lions have light spotting on their coats that disappears as they grow.
