St. Clair College is backing the NFL team that plays just across the Detroit River.
With the Detroit Lions hosting the Washington Commanders Saturday night in the NFC Divisional Playoff, the college is "dressing" in the team's colours as a show of support.
The main south Windsor campus and the downtown St. Clair Centre for the Arts have been lit up in Honolulu blue.
"Saints Nation stands with the Detroit Lions as they embark on what we all hope will be a deep push into the playoffs," said St. Clair College President Michael Silvaggi. "We know firsthand how much it meant to our Saints Football team when fans and the community rallied behind our eventual national champions. We want the Lions to feel that same love from the Windsor-Essex community and hopefully, get the same results."
The school began lighting its buildings on Thursday night, and had encouraged students, faculty, and staff to wear Lions colours to class on Friday.
The City of Windsor and Caesars Windsor are also lighting buildings in Honolulu blue as the Lions push through the playoffs.
Kickoff for Saturday night's game is at 8 p.m. at Ford Field in Detroit.
