The Lions HWS Hoodie has garnered attention due to its debut on Day 2 of the 2025 Draft, where General Manager Brad Holmes and the Lions’ draft room wore it to make a bold statement about their scouting philosophy.
Lions HWS Hoodie – Redefine Greatness
This black hoodie features a striking white “HWS” script across the chest, with a distinct line running through the letters, symbolizing a shift in focus.
