    Does anybody know if there'll be Earned uniforms for this season? Or is that series gone for good?

    I'm pretty certain we're not getting them since they didn't show up as an option on the Lockervision listings. I've also heard of nothing to do with maybe warmups again, so I'm assuming we're not getting anything and I'll be pleasantly surprised if we do, haha.

    I wonder if teams could utilize this in order to wear two throwbacks in the same season. (ex. using a home throwback as their "city" edition, and using a road throwback as the actual classic edition)

    Might be hard to sell that to Nike since sales would kinda be cannibalized. It's easier to sell two different designs for the City and Classic (for the jerseys and related merch). Also, as much as it would be an improvement for many teams, a whole "set" of Classic uniforms is kind of a slap in the face to the current branding.

    I know you have access to the official Pantone hex values and whatnot, but the team itself identifies the jersey as black.

    Smh, the team didn't even communicate with Nike, then. Nike is using a material color named Pitch Blue (it has a completely different color code than Black, of course) for the Pistons Statement uni. We'll actually see that color again with one of the City unis.

    Speaking of Statement uniforms, here's a little tidbit for everyone: we've yet to officially see 14 new Statement uniforms (Cavs, Pistons, Warriors, Spurs, Bucks and Jazz have been formally announced). I have a feeling they'll start to be announced in the next couple of weeks. I don't have info on that, just speculating.

  4. Fwiw, these Pistons unis are dark navy, not black, but only weirdos like us will actually acknowledge that. Casuals will see them as black.

    As for the design of them, the chest stripe is nice, but the typography and use of 'DET' (that no one identifies with in the city itself) are misses. Obviously, these would be better in red with a 'PISTONS' or 'MOTOR CITY' wordmark in either the current typography or something from the team's history.
