Pistons as a brand is one of the worst in the league.

bland color scheme
bland logo
playing in literally the only state where Hockey is ahead of Basketball
cant even get a GM or Ford sponsorship in Detroit :wtf:

How are people actually finding reasons to get mad at this ... watch the ball during the game not everyone's shoulder.

Well, they did just bring down the maximum number of timeouts per game from 18 to 14. So... it should cut down on stoppages.

Can't say I'm thrilled about it or anything, but nothing to get worked up about. Modern life. How often do you really look at the uniform?

Love this move. For too long we've been in the dark about which bank is the preferred bank of the Detroit Pistons. Now that I know, I can deposit money, take out loans, and otherwise financially transact appropriately. If Flagstar raises ATM fees or nickel and dimes me with other fees to pay for this? No problem. It's worth the info.

It could have been a LOT worse. And the patch is pretty unassuming. Matches the uni color scheme too.

If anyone thinks ours is bad, look at a Brooklyn's. The red patch on black and white jerseys looks terrible!

Did anyone see the Goodyear logo on the Cavs jerseys? That's a quality ad, it matches the color scheme and it's just a logo. Detroit's ad looks like the type of spam you put ad block on to never see again.

We should probably appreciate it while it lasts. Five years from now, they'll probably look like nascar cars running around out there. The Detroit Home Depot's!

It works at least. I'd never heard of that bank and I know I have.
The ads suck, but it is what it is. It could look much worse
