Detroit — The Pistons’ teal jerseys are coming back. The only question is when.
Since their debut in the 1996-97 season, the teal uniforms have straddled the line of ire and desire from fans and fashionistas alike. It’s an eclectic look, a stark deviation from the franchise’s traditional red, white and blue to the bold teal, with a black, flaming horse’s head and complementary piping inspired by a car-exhaust system.
The images of Grant Hill in the teal jersey were striking. It was an extreme makeover at the time — and like many extreme fashion fads, it comes back in style.
