  1. Don't remind me, especially in light of the disaster the Pistons have been for the last 15 years..
  2. The Pistons are using horizonal NOB today for the 20th anniversary celebration of their 2004 championship, proving it is possible on the Nike template. I wish they'd go back to it full-time.
  3. Sounds like the Bally Sports branding is going away at the end of MLB season. Hopefully a new graphics package will be something more akin to what Fox had at the end of their ownership of the RSNs. https://awfulannouncing.com/bally/diamond-sports-group-branding-rsns.html
  4. Not bad - a lot better than the black and white NWA look we all thought they would be going with.
  5. Was the Lions current set unpopular? While not perfect, I thought it was a huge improvement over the two sets that came before it. The all-gray was the worst part, and then the blank white pants being introduced late in its life cycle also weren't great, but other than that it was their best look since the Barry Sanders era set. It was definitely good enough IMO that I'm dreading the new set, fearing that there's a reasonable chance it will be downgrade.
  6. In the NBA, Zach Lowe had an article a few years back about the Heat refusing Nike's City Edition concept, and instead designing the well-received Vice jerseys in-house.
  7. I don't subscribe to "The Athletic," although there are ways to get around the paywall that I presume are verboten to discuss.
  8. Nike has pushed chrome/gray pretty hard for Detroit teams the last 5 years or so.
  9. I'm afraid. Very afraid. But then again, if the focus grouping Uni-Watch posted about a few years ago was presumably getting feedback for potential City Connect jerseys, maybe I shouldn't be. https://uni-watch.com/2021/09/22/exclusive-tigers-focus-grouping-new-throwbacks/
  10. The Pistons have pivoted heavily into black and gray in recent years (thankfully gray seems to have mostly passed), and also seem to be actively minimizing red to the best of their ability - refusing to bring back their old red alternate as the Statement edition, and eliminating their classic court design which was red-heavy. I keep hoping sanity will prevail at some point, but the trend just keeps getting worse.
  11. If the Lions are going to insist on mono-color, at least the mono-blue is the least egregious (IMO.)
  12. I hope you're right - I'm pretty concerned given the team president gave a statement (paraphrasing) the new ones are quite a change, while referring to the 2017 set as a subtle change to the prior set, as well as how heavily the Lions have leaned into the monochrome look this season.
  13. Kinda wild we're getting to the point where teams using their traditional jerseys in the same game feels like a special occasion.
  14. That honestly might be the least egregious one.
