Today the Detroit Lions unveiled a new alternate helmet that will be paired with their "Detroit Pride" grey uniforms. It is done in conjunction with the 90th anniversary of the franchise.
The color is Honolulu blue and has a grey facemask.
It's okay. The logo is classic but does not belong on a helmet. The color is excellent and the grey facemask is smart.
It does spruce up the grey uniforms by giving some contrast to the kits. 
It is hard to tell from the reveal photos a few years ago and today's but the trim and stripes on the grey uniform appear to be a different shade of blue, but could also be the lighting at Ford Field that makes it appear that way.
For something that will only be worn once in a while, it's a "no harm, no foul" situation. This helmet takes a D uniform and takes it to a C-.
