Pride of the Lions


The Pride of the Lions is a team-specific hall of fame, honoring former members of the Detroit Lions, an American football team in the National Football League. Considered to be the organization's highest individual honor, inductees' names, jersey numbers, and years played in Detroit are featured in a permanent display on the former Hudson's warehouse at Ford Field in Detroit, Michigan. The Pride of the Lions is sometimes referred to as the team's ring of honor.
Established in 2009, the Pride of the Lions' inaugural class featured 12 inductees, all of whom had already been inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame. There have been 22 former players inducted into the Pride of the Lions.
