It looks like the 313 logo is being promoted to the official logo set. Hopefully this means the DP logo will be sunset for good. I prefer the main ball logo in place of the DP and I prefer the main ball logo jnstead of the 313 ball logo, but two main logos are overkill, so I'm fine if the waistband didn't have a logo or if the Pistons brought back waistband trim like the Bulls have it and like the 1988-89, 1989-90 Pistons teams had it. Just my personal opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This whole “Embrace Detroit/Look like the Lions” thing has been a turn for the worse. Their design team isn’t good. Other than the 2017 primary logo, I can’t think of a single thing they’ve done that I’ve liked in at least 10 years. I suppose finally getting rid of the gray jersey would qualify. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking more closely at the primary logo on the shorts, is the outer outline white now, instead of gray as it was previously? I certainly wouldn’t mind gray being officially removed from the Pistons color scheme. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FinsUp1214 Posted June 16, 2022 Share Posted June 16, 2022 The plot thickens… I’m as stoked as anyone about a purple note (and the supposed purple mountain court inside), but between the black/yellow leaks and now purple looking more and more prominent, this is starting to look really disjointed and odd. The only theory I have is this: black/yellow leaks were so unpopular that they felt like they needed to overhype the supposed purple city edition as a peace offering of sorts during the rebrand reveal. The black/yellow stuff is likely going to get blasted, so maybe they figure they can soften the blow this way. Again, that’s just theory, but I don’t know why else you’d prominently feature a color at the arena that isn’t even a primary color of your new rebrand. 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Digby Posted June 16, 2022 Share Posted June 16, 2022 My feeling on the Pistons is that they are always obligated to have some crappy secondary logo that they don't need and isn't popular, but they try anyway. Whether it's the ball horse or the DP monogram or, now, the 313 thing. They can cycle through them all but the Pistons' primary logo is always going to be the only one that actually matters. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nearly everyone hates the black/yellow/white so lets focus on purple that nearly everyone loves. I'm still excited to see the full black/yellow/white set and get a look at the shorts/stripes. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's an interesting shade of purple. Trends towards the 90's rebrand purple rather than the redder 80s purple. 4 Quote I HATE THIS TIMELINE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaliforniaGlowin Posted June 16, 2022 Share Posted June 16, 2022 Purple and light blue with an occasional black and neon yellow? I'm down with that! Is there a requirement on how many games each uniform is worn? Maybe can do mostly purple with only a few black and yellow games?

I've always really liked that. Speaks to what internal combustion engines produce in terms of propulsion: horsepower.

The problem with that is, they may as well have been a purple primary team and not even entertained black/yellow at that point. It looks really bad on them to do a full-on rebrand, then basically dump it wherever and whenever they can out of the gate. I imagine the team is going to have to strike a more delicate balance than that to at least make thier efforts worth it. Dont get me wrong, I’d gladly take purple full-time over the black/yellow (and I am pleased to see more purple now), but this is a pretty bad hole they’ve dug themselves into with this rebrand. Pushing purple as a possible damage control failsafe looks like a pretty big mea culpa to me. If that’s true, then they’re going to have to ride this out until they can rebrand again. Even more hilarious now when I remember how emphatic Smith was about fixing the Jazz brand confusion, and now he may have just cratered it. Basically, Ryan Smith just Gob’ed this up. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TaylorMade Posted June 16, 2022 Share Posted June 16, 2022 I mean, the rumors are that the City Edition will be purple. And those only last a year so it's hard to get too excited about it if that's the only purple in the set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Krz Posted June 16, 2022 Share Posted June 16, 2022 I'm really interested to see how Nike/Utah justifies their design choice. Is there anything deeper than "we just like wanted to change the colors"? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
