The Detroit Lions and the Early NFL

Registration begins May 14th
Jeremy Dimmick, Director of Collections and Curatorial from the Detroit Historical Museum, will present the history of the Lions. Before the Portsmouth Spartans relocated to Detroit and donned the Honolulu Blue in 1934, several pro football teams tried and failed to gain a foothold in the city. What made the Lions different? This presentation examines the instability of the infant NFL, and how the Lions (and professional football) won the hearts of Detroiters to become the institution they are today. Follow the team from its small town roots, through its golden age in the 1950’s, into the present. Ages 12+ Register online at https://scslibrary.events.mylibrary.digital/event?id=181500, over the phone, or in-person with a librarian.
