#Lions DB C.J. Gardner-Johnson says he wants to see blue ski masks everywhere for the home opener Sunday. “We’re villains right? It’s part of us, it’s the culture,” he said. “I’m changing it.”

Lions fans rushed to wherever they could to find a blue ski mask that was similar to the one that Gardner-Johnson wore in an Instagram live video after the Lions win over the Kansas City Chiefs. Turns out they found them and they bought them all.

Barstool Detroit reported on Tuesday night that Amazon, one of the biggest marketplaces in the world, had sold out of blue ski masks just hours after Gardner-Johnson told fans to mask up.

There's a very good chance that you will see sight like you've never seen before on Sunday when most of a sold out Ford Field will be adorned with blue ski masks during the game. It'll look like something right out of the movies.

I truly hope that Lions fans follow through on this and give us one of the coolest images we've ever seen in sports. Here's to you Lions fans.
