The Detroit Pistons are bringing the teal back! The team has announced the replica of the road uniforms from 1996-2001 as the Classic Edition uniforms for the 2022-23 NBA season.

“To Pistons fans everywhere – we heard you, and this is for you,” said Mike Zavodsky, Chief Business Officer for the Detroit Pistons. “The teal jerseys represent a ‘colorful’ time in Pistons basketball and NBA history. We are thrilled to re-introduce the teal to a new generation of basketball fans, and can’t wait to see this version of Detroit Basketball suit up in them.”

The teal uniform refers to a particular period in Detroit Pistons’ history. Franchise standouts like Grant Hill, Jerry Stackhouse, Lindsey Hunter, and Ben Wallace donned the teal horsehead uniforms as the team won postseason spots on three separate occasions.

The actual uniform is an exact copy of the original, with the same famous fiery horsehead on a teal jersey with black, yellow, and red trim. The left front strap of the jersey prominently displays United Wholesale Mortgage (UWM), the exclusive mortgage partner and official patch of the Pistons. As part of their 2022–23 uniform rotation, the squad is anticipated to wear the teal jerseys in about 10 games throughout the following season.

At a launch event held at the Renaissance Center on Monday night, the Pistons formally presented the jerseys. Jerry Stackhouse was present to display the Classic Edition suit; he started out with the Pistons franchise wearing the teal jersey.

In the weeks before the 2022–23 NBA season, fans will be able to purchase the Classic Edition teal jersey. Fans may now register for pre-order alerts to receive a special window for pre-sale purchases once they become available. The Pistons and DoorDash will work together to produce a small, teal-themed unique gift for particular fans as soon as the jerseys are formally offered for purchase.

You can see the jersey below.

SOURCE SPORTS: Pistons’ Saddiq Bey Drops Career-High 51 Against Orlando Magic

There has been a common theme in the NBA; lately, players are scoring 50 points. There have been eight in this month alone. There has been an even more theme for the Orlando Magic, players scoring 50 points against them. In its last two games, the Magic gave up two 50 point games.

On Tuesday night, Orlando gave up 60 to Kyrie Irving, and last night they gave up 51 to Saddiq Bey. Bey, the Detroit Pistons’ second-year small forward, torched the Orlando Magic in the Pistons 134-120 win.

Saddiq didn’t score as much as Kyrie, but he did get off to a blazing start as he did two nights ago. Irving killed them for 16, and Bey finished the first quarter with 21. Bey scored 30 points in the first half and followed up with 21 in the second half.

This 51 point outing for Bey is a new career-high for him, and this is the 13th different player to score 50 in the NBA. This month, the eight 50 point games are the most since December of 1962, when there were nine 50-point games.

There have been 17 50-point games this season, and Bey is the 13th player to pull the feat, matching the most in a season in NBA history. At 22, he is the youngest player with a 50-point game in Pistons history, according to ESPN Stats & Info.

Again, who will be the next to drop 50?

Detroit Pistons Team With Michell & Ness for Merch Line To Celebrate Boxing Legend and Detroit Icon Joe Louis

The Detroit Pistons have unveiled a new apparel collaboration inspired by Detroit boxing legend Joe Louis as part of their Black History Month activations. The club collaborated on the new merchandise line’s storytelling, strategy, and design with the Louis family and Mitchell & Ness. Starting February 23, the line will be available through Pistons313Shop.com, and on February 24, it will be available at the team store in Little Caesars Arena.

Tyrel Kirkham, the Pistons’ Vice President of Marketing and Brand Strategy, described the cooperation as a means for Detroiters and sports fans to commemorate a sports hero and legend’s championship heritage.

“Joe Louis’ transcendent career embodies the spirit and history of Detroit,” said Kirkham. “We always view merchandise collaborations as an opportunity to create more than just t-shirts and jerseys – we want them to represent the city that surrounds us and the culture that makes Detroit such a special place.  The legacy that Joe Louis carries is something the Pistons organization is honored to share and celebrate.”

Louis and his family relocated to Detroit when he was 12 years old in 1926. Louis’ legendary boxing career began here, rising from amateur to world heavyweight champion. Louis is widely regarded as one of the best boxers of all time, having held the heavyweight title for a record-breaking 12 years. Louis was more than a ring champion; he was a civil rights figure who overcame the racial restrictions that plagued professional sports at the time. The Monument to Joe Louis, commonly known as “The Fist,” was erected in Detroit’s Hart Plaza in 1986 as a symbolic commemoration of Louis’ historical significance.

“My family and I are grateful that the Detroit Pistons and the City of Detroit continue to do their part by remembering and highlighting my father and all those great men and women who came before us in an effort to inspire those currently in the global arena,” said Louis Barrow, II.

Throughout February, the Detroit Pistons celebrated Black History Month with several activations and partnerships. To begin off the month, the Pistons teamed up with the Rosa Parks Estate to honor the civil rights pioneer by offering free bus rides to all Detroit residents on several days, as well as awarding 500 Rosa Parks-inspired coats to DDOT drivers.

Ongoing and upcoming activities include an “HBCU Night” at Little Caesars Arena on February 26 when the Pistons take on the Boston Celtics, a team visit to the National Museum of African American History and Culture in Washington, D.C. on February 28, in-game honoring of prominent Detroit creatives and leaders throughout the month, and the 17th Annual Black History Month Scholarship Event, where high school seniors in Detroit will have a chance to win a scholarship.
