Me thinks Tom Gores doesn't get it. Or he gets it but prefers the Grant Hill era logo more. If they win again, they can wear whatever they want, but since this is the stuff they wore when they last won (1989 and 1990; 2004 is basically a throwback to those title seasons anyway), they would be smart to go back to this theme, especially if the league lets them. This is almost identical to the old logo with the exception of the font; the Hawks couldn't go back to the logo and while some people like the new Pac-Man logo better, I'll always miss the Dominique Wilkins Pac-Man logo. (Edit: changed Hawkins to Wilkins. Even Googled it first to see if it was Hawkins or Hawkings, and, unfortunately, there WAS a Dominique Hawkins, making matter worse. My apologies. Probably got Wilkins and Hersey Hawkins' name mixed up for some reason.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fact that this cap was actually manufactured tells me that the league has approved the logo and it's simply the Pistons' call. If it's up to the fans, I can't imagine them not going with this.

This is incredibly better than the actual primary logo. Gores needs to wake up and make the switch asap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
truepg Posted August 22, 2016 Share Posted August 22, 2016 Can you tell me how that logo is better than their current? Because it's just beyond me. Both are just wordmarks and a basketball, but this is barely recognizable as one so it's practically just the wordmark inside circles. And don't give me the Bad Boys era connection explanation, since it doesn't make the logo any good. At least the current one has dimension and is bolder.

elliott Posted August 22, 2016 Share Posted August 22, 2016 Both logos are extremely generic. The new one that they are apparently considering is just cleaner compared to the unnecessary drop shadows, so it's slightly better IMO. As messy as this logo is, at least it has some distinguishing features to give them a bit more of an identity, compared to just a circle and a wordmark. Dribbble ...

No one remembers/cares about these and the outlined font and numbers will be illegible at best. They should stick to Raptors throwbacks if they really need some.
