Twitter Reacts: Detroit Rams T-Shirt Embarrassing, Even For Lions Fans

As if the Detroit Lions organization hasn't been ridiculed enough.

What more can there really be said about just how sad of a franchise the Detroit Lions have actually been. 

Just this week, it was revealed on social media the flag of the Lions was being waved upside down outside of the Los Angeles Convention Center, site of the Super Bowl Experience.

All week, the narrative of the national media, ahead of the game on Sunday, has been just how much the Lions organization did a disservice to quarterback Matthew Stafford, and how the front office never surrounded him with much talent. 

The supporters of Stafford in Detroit have been vocal and proud to see the team's former signal-caller playing for a chance to hoist the Lombardi Trophy. 

But one local apparel company may have taken their support of Stafford and the Los Angeles Rams a step too far. 

The D-Line, a local sports clothing company, has created a "Detroit Rams" T-Shirt that is actually being sold at a memorabilia store in Livonia. 

"We got them in yesterday and they have been flying off the shelves. A really hot item," said Pro Sports Zone owner John Yu, via the Detroit News. 

The line has been ridiculed by many, and has even been called "embarrassing for the entire city" by online influencers. 

"It is exciting for Detroit fans to see one of their favorite players doing well and making it to the Super Bowl," said Yu. 

Here is a sample of the reactions online to the clothing apparel being sold online to the masses. 

To be very clear. I don’t condone these. The Rams winning isn’t a Detroit accomplishment, it’s the opposite. pic.twitter.com/xF8XWGvoq2

I have two bats in my garage, originally meant for Jerami Grant and Russell Westbrook but I’m down to head to the store and put in work

Knew it would happen, Everyone was treating Stafford going to the Superbowl like it was the Lions. Said it 3 weeks back that as much as Stafford wins the more it embarrasses the city, it's fans and the Lions. I wanna see him win too, but how some people are reacting is silly.

I’ve been saying for the longest the fans are part of the problem in Detroit. #OnePride

I'ma root for the Rams, but... yeah. The "Detroit Rams" stuff makes me feel ick.

I don't like policing fandom, but this is gross and the people doing it should be put in jail.

As the OG homie Rob Parker put it: “Detroit needs to stop acting like we haven’t won anything before.”
