The Detroit Pistons have been one of the more in-tune teams I’ve seen around sports when it comes to interacting with fans on social media.
Pistons Twitter is a special community of passionate fans that is linked together and, right now, their resounding sounds are calling for throwback alternate uniforms.
Several teams around the NBA have released new throwback jerseys this summer, including the Philadelphia 76ers and Memphis Grizzlies in the past week. A handful of teams embrace their past by wearing throwback alternates, and the list is seemingly growing larger each year.
Imagine building off the positive momentum the Pistons have, coming off their second playoff appearance in four years, Blake Griffin and Andre Drummond having, arguably, the best years of their career, a resurgent Derrick Rose joins the Pistons team, Luke Kennard taking a step in the playoffs; there’s a lot of hope and optimism surrounding the Pistons and the fan base is taking notice.
