Unveiling the WCF: A Lion King's Legacy
Those bold letters, my friends, stand for William Clay Ford Sr., the longtime owner of the Detroit Lions. Yes, that Ford – as in the car company Fords. William Clay Ford Sr. wasn't just some rich dude who fancied owning a football team (although, let's be honest, owning a football team is pretty darn fancy). He was a true Detroit native who bought the Lions in 1963 and held onto the reins for over 50 years, right up until 2014. That's some serious dedication! The WCF on the jersey is a way for the Lions to honor this Ford fella for his commitment to the team and the city.
