You liked them shyts? Damn near everybody I knew when they debuted originally hated them, including me. It has nothing to do with how shytty the team ending up being after wearing these, like a lot of local media keeps implying. It's just a horrible mesh of colors and design that doesn't work well at all. What I've noticed is it's almost strictly a generational thing, where only the 20 something's seem to be big fans of these and were calling for them to be brought back. Must be a nostalgia thing for when they first started watching the team.

But I won't trip too much since it's only gonna be a handful of games that they're worn. If the young boys ball out in them then sign me up. I just won't buy any gear with that scheme.

Born in 88. Became a real Piston fan during Grant Hill era. Nostalgia more than anything. Always thought the red white blue jerseys were bland

Makes sense. That fits exactly with what I see as far as fans off those jerseys and the overall style change of jersey design during that period. To me the red white and blue is just classic and making a complete color change was like seeing the Packers, Celtics, or Bulls getting rid of their look and identity. I don't mind it as a every once in a while secondary thing. Only issue is those colors ugly as fukk together. I have no idea how they came up with that color scheme. I'm glad they actually made their runs and won it all back in the traditional colors. Would have hated having to constantly see glory years in the Terry "Sugar" Mills specials.
