The Detroit Lions have a devoted fanbase, but one die-hard fan has taken it to the next level.
Reddit is notorious for being full of the weird and wonderful, and one user has taken his fandom to the max by sharing a photo of an unbelievably bold tattoo.
Detroit Lions Fan Shows Off Bold Tattoo
On the Detroit Lions subreddit, the crazy fan shared a picture of a new tattoo that makes him probably the most confident Lions fan we have seen so far this offseason.
The picture of the Redditor’s new body art shows a picture of the Vince Lombardi Trophy overlayed with the Lions logo surrounded by the wording “Super Bowl Champs 2024.”
The Lions have now gone 31 years without a playoff win, so this insane fan has gone outrageously early with his tattoo.
Reddit, famous for an excellent level of humor, did not disappoint with classic replies like these:

How Likely Are the Lions To Win in 2023?
The Lions are currently favorites to win the NFC North with most sportsbooks. The emergence of the Lions under head coach Dan Campbell has coincided with the demise of their divisional rivals: the Packers, Vikings, and Bears.
It is important to remember that this is the Lions. The same franchise that has failed to win a playoff game since the early 1990s and hasn’t made the playoffs since 2016.
However, the 2023 season is set up to be different in Detroit, and many feel like it is now or never if the Lions are to make a playoff push. Last year, the Lions were ranked fourth in the NFL for points scored per game and have added more quality talent to their roster.
Jahmyr Gibbs has come in at running back, and Sam LaPorta has come in at tight end via the 2023 NFL Draft, and both have looked capable of making a huge impact in their rookie seasons.
While the loss of Jameson Williams due to his suspension for betting-related policy violations will hurt the Lions’ offense, they should have enough to cover.
The Lions also revamped their secondary with veteran defensive backs Cameron Sutton, Emmanuel Moseley, and C.J. Gardner-Johnson.
DraftKings currently has the Lions’ Super Bowl odds at +2200, which you can find in our full Detroit Lions betting preview.
