(AP) -- The Detroit Pistons may no longer be the "Bad Boys" team that won two NBA championships a decade ago, but they are bringing back the old uniform colors. Red, white and blue are returning for the 2001-02 season on all team uniforms, practice attire, retail merchandise and the playing surface at the Palace of Auburn Hills. "We are excited to return to our original colors," Pistons president Joe Dumars said in a statement. "This is a change that our fans called for, and, as a result, we listened and delivered." The color change will replace the scheme of teal, black, yellow and red that was introduced before the 1996-1997 season. ------------------ president of the sleepy floyd to hall of fame club. http://www.it-is-truth.org http://members.fortunecity.com/omar369 [This message has been edited by jamma34 (edited June 25, 2001).]

Maybe us Rocket's fans just need to make more noise, because I'd love to go back to the old red and yellow. ------------------
Seriously guys, if we want out of those PJ's, we need to make some noise, or they're not going to do it. I recall CD or someone else saying "We haven't got many complaints about them." Send them plethoras of emails, letters, phone calls, whatever. Send those BAD ASS pictures that you guys made. I have already began. ------------------

Drop the blue. Drop the pinstripes. Go back to the future. Rockets Management take heed: When Hakeem's jersey is retired it damn well better be the championship jersey and not the PJs!
Someone needs to tell us where to e-mail our 1000 letters a day because we have to get out of these nasty pinstripe clown jerseys! ------------------

I wonder if Detroit has a new arena next season. From the pics, they have adapted to the new Nike uni's that the Lakers, Heat and Raptors have. Imagine the those glorious red and gold colors in this new format. Is there any fan that prefers the "pajamas" over the championship ones? ------------------
i think a good start would be for a member of this board to write the letter and each one of us will send it to the rockets email ------------------
i wonder if cuban's seen this yet, because... damn! that new piston logo looks familiar. http://store3.yimg.com/I/dallasmavericksstore_1641_8995 ------------------ Ric http://www.houstonprofootball.com
