I wonder what their plan is? I like our logo, it's a little bare bones but it's classic.

We just need to change up the font to make it look real clean like the Raptors and Bucks did.

Boom! But REALLY need to get rid of the bubble font.

It's too bad the simple ball look has been used so much recently, because a "Piston" is a damn hard thing to logo.

Just go with the classic bad boys logo/font.

Is it just a logo change or is it a complete uniform overhaul? Could the Blue and Grey be the new Piston colors?

Could use new jerseys too. Nothing fancy, better font alone would go a long way.

I hope it just isn't this - taken from the same guys twitter. As is also pointed out in his time line the "Detroit Grind" shirts worn in the pre-season commercial basically used it already -

I'm all for a more classic look...bad boy era logo. The current logo is cheesy.

Pass on the bad boy era logo, a little to simplistic and old school to me.

Good. I'm not sure there's a whole lot to build around for the "Pistons" nickname in terms of imagery, but the current logo is just too basic and bland.

Definitely down for a new logo.

to be honest i would like to see a completely different logo n jerseys just keep the red white n blue colors

There aren't too many more fitting team names pertaining to the area they are from than the Pistons. Its part of (although small) the reason why I became a Pistons fan. Same thing with why I became a 49ers fan.

I'm not a fan of common monikers like animals and such. The mascot should fit and be specific to the area.

Anywho, I wouldn't mind a logo that pops more. I didn't like the color of the uniforms, but the teal era logo was always my favorite. That horse head with the fire coming out of the pipes, was badass. I would like to see them maybe bring the pipes back and incorporate them into the new logo somehow. The ball is too stock for me, I would like to see something that is more specific to what (real) pistons are.

Our current logo absolutely sucks.

The design philosophy was so incredibly terrible and not future proof at all.

When I worked for the Pistons a few years ago I saw several uniform designs that was in storage. Wonder if they pulled any of those up.

Would you rather a horse or a goofy looking cartoon rocket?

Compared to some of the 90s designs*, are logo is not bad.

*: The 90s were just one of the worst decades for design.

What about something like a bottom half of a ball with the top half of a chromed out Americana muscle car engine? Possibly with an "easter egg" of the car engine outline/silhouette being the Downtown Detroit skyline.

True. My main gripe is how archaic the font is for the logo itself. The outdated basketball is also a nuisance too though.

I am scared Tom Gores going to make it look like sh*. Detroits Blue collar town, hope he remembers that when he's adding his LA flash

Probably going for a dirty Martini and palm trees for a logo
