===Logos and uniforms=== {{multiple image | align = right | direction = horizontal | width = 120 | perrow = 2 | header = Previous logos of the Detroit Pistons | image1 = Pistonslogo 58-71.gif | image2 = Pistons logo 1972-1978.gif | image3 = DetroitPistonsOld.png | image4 = Detroit-Pistons-Logo-2005-to-2017.png | caption1 = 1957 to 1971. | caption2 = 1975 to 1979. | caption3 = 1979 to 1996. | caption4 = 2005 to 2017. }} After moving from Fort Wayne, to Detroit in 1957, the Pistons' uniforms remained largely unchanged for two decades, featuring the word "Pistons" in blue block lettering. In the 1978β79 season, the team featured a uniform with lightning bolts on the sides and in the wordmark on the front of the jerseys. The team discontinued the lightning bolt theme and returned to its classic block lettering and simple side panel pattern in 1981, staying with this look until 1996. That year, the Pistons changed their colors to teal, black, yellow and, red and unveiled a new logo with a horse's head and flaming mane. This color scheme lasted until 2001, when the team returned to the traditional red, white, and blue colors and a uniform pattern taking cues from the 1981β1996 threads.<ref>{{cite web|title=Going Retro: Detroit Pistons|url=http://www.nba.com/history/uniforms_pistons.html|publisher=NBA Media Ventures, LLC|website=NBA.com|date=October 28, 2015|access-date=October 28, 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120208211842/http://www.nba.com/history/uniforms_pistons.html|archive-date=February 8, 2012|url-status=dead}}</ref> The horse's head and flaming mane logo lasted until 2005, when the team switched to a more classic logo design.<ref name="2005 logo">{{cite web|title=Detroit Pistons Introduce New Logos|url=https://www.nba.com/pistons/news/logochange_050711.html|website=NBA.com|date=July 11, 2005|access-date=December 24, 2019|archive-date=December 24, 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20191224150426/https://www.nba.com/pistons/news/logochange_050711.html|url-status=live}}</ref> On May 16, 2017, the Pistons unveiled a new logo, which is a modernized version of the previous "Bad Boys" era logo used from 1979 to 1996.<ref name="NewPistonsLogo2017" /><ref name="freep-newlogo17">{{cite news|last=Ellis|first=Vince|title=Pistons go retro, unveil new logo downtown|url=https://www.freep.com/story/sports/nba/pistons/2017/05/16/detroit-pistons-logo/324953001/|newspaper=[[Detroit Free Press]]|date=May 16, 2017|access-date=May 17, 2017|archive-date=May 20, 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170520063735/http://www.freep.com/story/sports/nba/pistons/2017/05/16/detroit-pistons-logo/324953001/|url-status=live}}</ref>
