Potential hot take - I like that Pacers set a lot better than the ones that have come after it.
-
William Clay Ford's ownership tenure is certainly not something to be celebrated.
-
What particularly scared me about the new uniforms coming next year is that the team president referred to them as "significant", while in the same breath calling the 2017 set a "tweaking."
-
Looks like it's just a merch line on their Team Store for now, similar to the "Martin" stuff they put out a year or two ago.
-
The Pistons posted this on their social media yesterday. I'm presuming it might be a hint at their City Edition for next season being Motown themed. Seems a bit early for an unveiling what with the Finals still in progress and the fact the Pistons have never unveiled a City Edition until the league-wide drop by Nike which usually takes place in early November.
-
The Tigers have added Meijer as their jersey patch sponsor.
-
With all of the other uniform rules basically out the window at this point, this one should be too. But they have to protect that Hardwood Classics merchandise line, I suppose.
-
Somehow turning the NBA into European soccer is profitable. I don't understand it, but they wouldn't be doing it if it wasn't.
-
I was just thinking recently how's there been a dearth of leaks or rumors for next season. Almost all of the City and Classic Editions and some of the Statement Editions had already leaked by this time last year.
-
Uh..
-
Agreed. There's nothing wrong with the white/silver but the white/blue might be my favorite look in the current Lions set. Not a fan of the all-blue but I'd rather have that then the all-gray or all-white options, though.
-
I wouldn't mind a blue pants and silver socks option, to be used only with the white tops; but otherwise, yes, please this. I have a bad feeling whatever they do is going to be downgrade from the current set, which isn't perfect but for the most part is good enough outside of the the white pants and color rush set, IMO.
-
The article, via an Internet archive, makes it sound like the alternate helmet will go with the gray color rush (which IMO other than the all-white option is the worst uniform in the current set.) https://archive.ph/DzSi9 Not sure if that is accurate or not. Beat writers often get these details wrong.
-
The Pistons introduced that questionable new black Statement edition this year, having black no where in their color scheme and using a font that's not in their branding package, as well. It does have the horizontal blue and red stripes that tie into the Bad Boys era warmups, but as been the case with most of their alts over the last 10+ years, I am not a fan.
-
When the Lions first rolled out the mono-white look last year, it seemed to me like it was done a whim and Nike just sent them a pair of blank pants with no styling applied to them. While I still wouldn't be a fan, I imagine it would look a little better if the pants had some striping.
-
Right you are. For some reason my memory put them in the silver pants for that game. Either way, hopefully this is the last we see of this look.
-
Just when I thought we were going to get through the entire season without the white-out look being used, the Lions have to break them out for a high-profile Sunday night game. What a shame; it's their second worst look ahead of only the dreadful all-gray color rush.
-
The sad part is that it's by far the best City or Pride (using Adidas' nomenclature) jersey the Pistons have had going back the nearly 10 years this program has been in existence.
-
It's looking like that's the only way I'm ever going to see the Pistons' red jerseys again
-
While I agree with your sentiment, you could still be surprised. I’m a Pistons fan that lived through the original teal era as a young teenager, and I never thought I’d see the day when a loud segment of the next generation would spend years begging for them to come back, let alone the team actually doing it. Time makes fools of us all.
-
I know it’s not the point of Color Rush, but I’ve always felt the Lions’ gray tops *could* work with the blue pants. The all gray look is just awful, though.
-
I don't see any outcome but Nike renewing the contract as likely. It doesn't seem like any other apparel company but Nike is interested in outfitting the major American professional athletic leagues at the moment. Under Armour had a deal with MLB a few years ago, but that fell through due to their financial situation and Nike swooped it up.

"Most of the world is carpeted, and one day, we will do the cleaning."

Maybe he was just talking about the Cavs jerseys in general?
-
It's based on St. Cecilia's Gym in Detroit. It seems to be a decent look, especially considering the terrible "Motor City" theme the Pistons went with for so long. The lack of consistency in the jersey cut/style drives me nuts though - the Pistons continue to use wishbone for their classic look but seemingly have gone back to crewneck for everything else. I wish they'd pick one or the other (and bring back the reds as the Statement edition, but that's another story.)
