Detroit Pistons silver uniforms?

When the Pistons first introduced their most famous 1980s uniforms (the ones worn for most of the decade, including the Bad Boys champion teams) did they have a silver version worn for home games? I seem to recall that they did but can't find any photo proof. Just wondering. THANKS!

They most certainly did. It was supposed to go along with playing in the Silverdome.

I've got photos somewhere; I'll try to find some.

If silver makes sense for any team, it's the Pistons. Call it "chrome" or something like that.

Silver, Pistons, I like the concept. But, I have yet to see a silver uniform that I think looks good. Still, I'd love to be swayed.

It didn't look good. It was a washed-out Light Gray in reality.

Reminiscent of the Patriots' Silver alts.

Really? Georgetown? Ohio State?

I would hardly call their uniforms silver.

Yes, the Pistons did have a silver uniform around the mid 1980s. This is when Kelly Tripuka played for Detroit, and the uniforms were shiny or chrome-like not at all like Georgetown.

I think they wore those at home only for their 25th anniversary season

I believe that it was at least two or three seasons.

I'm also thinking (I've been digging through some old Sporting News yearbooks from the late '70s-early '80s), that Silver may have been included in the road uniforms as well. Particularly in the side stripes, between the Red stripes. Also in the waistbands.

I also want to mention that I also found some great color pics of the original Nuggets rainbow unis (when they predominantly featured Navy and Green), and the Cavs' Metallic Gold and Wine unis.

I will scan and post later.
