The Detroit Lions have simply been abysmal this season. The NFC North team has the worst record in the NFL this season. In the 11 matches played, the Lions have failed to win a single game. While they haven’t been serene on-field, their off-field conduct has been classy, to say the least. Their recent gesture for the Oxford school shooting victim proves it. JALEN ELLIOTT PAYS TRIBUTE TO FOOTBALL PLAYER KILLED IN MICHIGAN SCHOOL SHOOTING Jalen Elliott of the Detroit Lions [https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/nfl/detroit-lions/] found a unique way to honour Tate Myre, one of the four young kids slain in last week’s shooting at Oxford High School in Michigan. As the Detroit Lions Safety arrived at Ford Field on Sunday before the Lions’ game against the Minnesota Vikings, Elliott was spotted wearing [https://sports.yahoo.com/lions-jalen-elliott-pays-tribute-to-football-player-killed-in-michigan-school-shooting-175609319.html] a Lions jersey with his number — 42 — but Myre’s name on the back. At Oxford, Myre was a sophomore football player. The number 42 was not just Elliott’s but also Myre’s. Elliott’s homage comes only one day after Michigan honoured Myre and the other three student victims by wearing special “TM 42” patches during the Big Ten title game on Saturday. Michigan won the championship by defeating Iowa, scoring 42 points in the process. MICHIGAN WOLVERINES AND THE DETROIT LIONS TAKE SPECIAL EFFORTS TO PAY HOMAGE TO OXFORD HIGH SCHOOL SHOOTING VICTIMS The Michigan Wolverines and Detroit Lions took extra measures [https://www.espn.in/college-football/story/_/id/32773552/michigan-wear-jersey-patch-honoring-oxford-high-school-shooting-victims] this weekend to remember the victims of the Oxford High School shooting, which occurred earlier this week in the state. In Saturday’s Big Ten championship game, the Wolverines wore a special patch. Whereas, the Lions will have a helmet decal and wear special T-shirts against the Minnesota Vikings tonight. Michigan on Saturday wore a patch [https://twitter.com/umichfootball/status/1466559424332374016?s=21] in the shape of a “Block O” to signify Oxford. The initials “TM” and the number 42 were beneath it, as a homage to those who died and the local community. The “TM 42” is dedicated to Tate Myre. Myre is an Oxford sophomore football player who was one of the four students killed in the attack. Hana St. Juliana, a basketball and volleyball player, Madisyn Baldwin, an aspiring artist, and Justin Shilling, a member of the bowling and golf teams, are the other three victims commemorated by the four hearts on the patch. Michigan and Dallas Cowboys pay homage to the victims [https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/TM-42.1.jpeg] Also Read: NCAA Division 1: Alabama Crimson Tide Smashes Past Georgia to Win SEC Championship [https://www.essentiallysports.com/nfl-news-ncaa-division-1-alabama-crimson-tide-smashes-past-georgia-to-win-sec-championship/]

<h2 style="text-align: center">Detroit Lions 2022: News, Schedule, Roster, Score, Injury Report</h2>
<p style="text-align: center">The club was originally founded in Portsmouth, Ohio, and enlisted in the NFL in 1930 going by the Portsmouth Spartans banner. 4 years later, in 1934, the team relocated to Detroit citing financial struggles. Furthermore, the franchise was renamed to the Lions with reference to the city’s MLB counterpart franchise going by the Tigers.</p>
<img class="aligncenter wp-image-483977 size-full" src="https://www.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/lyon.jpg" alt="" width="1080" height="991" />
<p style="text-align: center">The very next year, they enjoyed tremendous success as they went on to win 4 championship games between 1935 to 1957. However, their success hasn’t seen the same peak since then, as they have only won a single playoff game in 1992.</p>
<p style="text-align: center">Additionally, they are the oldest NFL franchise to never appear in the Super Bowl. They also go down as the only team from the NFC to not appear for the same. This has long since been a talking point surrounding the franchise, considering their tenure in the league.</p>
<img class="aligncenter wp-image-483986 size-full" src="https://www.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/wire.jpg" alt="" width="1000" height="600" />
<p style="text-align: center">Heading through to Week 14 of the 2020 season, the Detroit Lions have accrued a record of 5-8 and are placed 4th in the NFC North. However, this is an improvement from their previous season record that topped out at 3-12-1. Moreover, the principal owner Martha Firestone Ford stepped down and passed on the ownership to her daughter Sheila Ford Hamp on June 23rd, 2020.</p>

<h2 style="text-align: center">Logo</h2>
<p style="text-align: center">The classic blue prancing Lion logo was brought into the fold from the 1961 season but wouldn’t be made the primary logo till 1970. The logo has seen minor reiterations, chiefly stemming from a stylistic change to the outline. The Honolulu blue outline was swapped for a black outline after 2002, and it ran until 2008.</p>
<img class="aligncenter wp-image-483982 size-full" src="https://www.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/def.jpg" alt="" width="1280" height="720" />
<p style="text-align: center">The present logo of the Detroit Lions has been active since February 1st, 2017, and underwent a minor tweak from the previous design that ran from 2009 to 2016. Chiefly, the difference was the change in the color of the outline, which went from black to metallic silver.</p>

<h2 style="text-align: center">Detroit Lions Owner Achievements</h2>
<p style="text-align: center">Sheila Ford Hamp is a descendant of both Ford and Firestone family fortunes, and she became the principal owner in June 2020 when her mother Martha Firestone Ford stepped down. Prior to her role as the principal owner and chairperson, Sheila Hamp served as the vice chairperson of the Detroit Lions since 2014.</p>
<img class="aligncenter wp-image-483995 size-full" src="https://www.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/huddle.jpg" alt="" width="1920" height="1280" />
<p style="text-align: center">Additionally, she serves on the NFL’s Super Bowl and Major Events committee alongside many key figures in the league. Following a 4-7 start to the 2020 season under her ownership, Sheila would fire General Manager Bob Quinn and Head Coach Matt Patricia.</p>

<h2 style="text-align: center">Detroit Lions 2022 Sponsors</h2>
<p style="text-align: center">A marquee sponsor out of Detroit came in the form of Quick Lane Tire and auto center, which provides routine service and up-keep maintenance for its customers. Additionally, they have had successful tie-ups with Quicken Loans as well as Windsor Family Credit Union. Additionally, the Detroit Lions have also partnered up with Coppercraft Distillery and they offered branded products at 6 bar locations within the parameters of Ford Field.</p>
<p style="text-align: center">BetMGM has also joined up with the Lions and will be the first official sports betting partner for the franchise. Not to mention, the Detroit Lions have a partnership with Humanetics who serve as the presenting sponsor for the club. Events are put together to recognize and honor active duty and former service members.</p>
