The NFL Draft is exactly two weeks away, and soon we will know the identities of several new Detroit Lions players. With the 21st overall pick, the Lions are very likely to have their first-round pick in attendance (pending a trade down). One of the time-honored traditions of the draft is the sporting of the official team draft hat, which typically gets a new design every year.
New Era is designing this year’s draft hat, and on Thursday, they released the latest look for the Lions:

The new hats are already available for pre-order on New Era’s website for $36.00. According to the website, the hats will ship by April 17.
For comparison’s sake, here’s what the Lions draft hats looked like last year:

Later on Thursday, the Lions will be unveiling four new uniforms which are expected to go on sale Friday morning on their official website.
If you’re looking to update your Lions wardrobe, this is a great—but expensive—time of year to do it. If you just bought a bunch of Lions gear... well, I hope you got it cheap.
