Detroit Pistons introducing 4th uniform

Recommended Posts

Local newspaper columnist Rob Parker announced it in his rumors feature on the weekly Sunday night sports show. Apparently it will have something to do with the Pistons' 50th anniversary celebration.

I guess that means the "FT. WAYNE" uniform is back.

In honor of Detroit's automotive heritage, the Pistons will wear a uniform constructed of tires.

Prototype can be seen here --

Agreed...probably some Ft. Wayne throwbacks.

No. It won't be. Its not the 50th year of the Franchise, its the 50th year that the franchise has been based in Detroit. I can see the return of these:

Or (and now I pray) although it would be a small difference from the current unis, a return of these:

As a die hard Pistons fan, I hate those lightning bolt unis. Those 80's throwbacks would be nice.

I'm in the same boat with the bolt jersey. But, I'm afraid the 80's jerseys might not be old enough. Lets just hope they don't bring back those teal atrociries.

why do so many nba teams have like 50 different unis? why cant they just have a home/away set and a throwback?

oh yea, money hungry owners.

As of now, the Pistons have a home, away, and an alt. Like most other teams. This makes 3. Now, many teams have a throwback they use often. The Pistons, however, are adding a one-year only throwback to celebrate the 50th year in Detroit.

Not to mention, my owner can be as money hungry as he wants if he has my team on the top of its conference. Again. Not to mention, Mr. Davidson is an incredibly nice man. Very cheritable. Pays close attention to his teams. And, not just examining his bottom line; he stays very involved in basketball (and hockey) operations for his three teams.

In addition, the new jerseys will be form fitting and have a gator skin pattern.

Thank god Nike doesn't do NBA uniforms. Otherwise, my money would be either on tire tread or Oregon-style diamondplate.

By the way, why has subliminal patterning suddenly become "cool"? The Magic had it a few years ago, and nobody liked it. Not to mention that Mexico had it during the 1994 World Cup and it was a complete disaster.

In the NBA, a team is only allowed to have a home, road, and alternate. Also, they are allowed to have a throwback, but they are only allowed the throwbacks every 2 or three years. Throwbacks are not allowed to become a permanent part of the uniform set, unless the throwbacks are their designated alternate...and in which case they wouldn't be allowed another standard alternate (which no team currently does)
