Game of Detroit Lions black uniform debut revealed

This offseason, the Detroit Lions revamped their entire uniforms, and without a doubt, the one that generated the most buzz was the return of black uniforms. Inspired, in part, by the 2000s Lions—which featured Dan Campbell as a player—the all-black look earned the highest percentage of “love it” votes of all the new uniform looks in our poll ran in April.
Well, we finally know when the Lions will actually wear those uniforms for the first time.
On Monday, the Lions teased that it may happen this week with this social media post.
In fact, if you look at Detroit’s entire Twitter profile, it’s been accented with the black uniform look, which the Lions officially call “Motor City Muscle.”
Of course, that only hints at the Lions wearing the uniform this week. It doesn’t confirm it.
But Justin Rogers of Detroit Football Network spilled the beans during his Monday podcast.
“The black jerseys are coming out next week for their debut,” Rogers said, while also teasing a report about the second game in which they’ll wear the uniform combo. “I’ve been sitting on that for a week. I was going to write a story, probably still will, because I also know the second game they’re wearing them.”
The Lions will don the uniforms on their 2024 “Monday Night Football” debut in Week 4 against the Seattle Seahawks. Including playoff games, Detroit has lost six straight to Seattle, so maybe this will bring them extra luck.

Detroit scrapyard fire sends flames, smoke billowing into the sky

DETROIT (FOX 2) – A large fire at a scrapyard in Southwest Detroit on Wednesday morning prompted crews from the fire department to respond.
The Detroit Fire Department had the blaze under control, however there are concerns of air quality in the surrounding area and it would take several hours to get the fire under wraps.
What we know:
A scrapyard located near Lonyo and Dix caught fire Wednesday morning, sending flames into the sky and smoke billowing over Southwest Detroit.
The pile consists of various appliances like washers, dryers, and bicycles, as well as miscellaneous scrap metal. Batteries are also part of the pile and could be linked to the cause of the blaze.
The scrapyard is part of the Ferrous Processing & Trading Co., a local scrap processor with locations around the country.
What we don’t know:
The cause of the fire is unknown.
The Detroit Fire Department also said it could take hours to stamp out the blaze, but that was a rough estimate.
Dig deeper:
An acting chief with DFD told FOX 2 it could take four to five hours to get rid of the fire.
According to Adolf Lane, they had to swap out vehicles and dealt with technical difficulties before making progress on the fire.
“It’s a very tall pile of debris and it’s very much embedded,” he said.
