The Lions are one of nine teams that won't wear their Color Rush uniform on the field in 2016. The Lions' Color Rush uniform features a black jersey with blue numbers outlined in white trim, as well as black pants with a thick blue stripe between two silver stripes and two white stripes. The NFL released the official color rush jerseys and the Detroit Lions will be in black.
The Detroit Lions officially have an alternate jersey. The NFL unveiled 24 new Color Rush uniforms, including the Detroit Lions. They also confirmed that they would be participating in the NFL's Color Rush program for the 2016 season.
Now, we've got further confirmation from Lions president Ron Wood that the Lions will.

Detroit Lions tight end Eric Ebron is shown wearing the all-black Color Rush uniforms the team will wear on a Thursday Night Football telecast some time after 2016.
The Color Rush gimmick is for Thursday Night Football games and the Lions do not appear on that schedule in 2016. The Thanksgiving game apparently does not count. Detroit Lions news celebrates the end of Color Rush speculation, rumors and leaks with the unveiling of black uniforms to be worn against the Vikings.
