The Detroit Pistons used to have a pretty cool logo and jerseys from 1996-01 and now they’re boring.
The Pistons infamously changed their logo and color scheme for the start of the 1996-97 season. The Bad Boy era was at an end, most everyone gone except for Joe Dumars, and the team did what a lot of teams did in the 90’s and adopted a much more cartoonish inspired style.
The new look jerseys featured teal, red, and orange. The logo was a flaming black horse head with exhaust pipes exuding flames. It was a wonderfully bizarre creation then, and one that stills garners a lot of criticism from older fans.
