After leaks and teases, the Detroit Pistons' Chrome jerseys are finally official.
The team will wear the silver and blue uniforms for seven games during the 2015-2016 campaign. According to the official release, the look pays homage to Detroit's automotive history.
"The inspiration for the Detroit Chrome jerseys came about as a way to honor our coolest cars from the past and the cars of the future. Detroit is universally known as the auto capitol of the world, where chrome leaves an indelible mark on the cars we create. The uniforms feature a matte chrome base color with clean simple lines inspired by the classic muscle cars that have roared up and down Woodward Avenue for decades. The navy trim and Detroit emblazoned across the chest represent the blue collar work ethic that the auto industry and region was built on."
Perhaps the best news is that the team will still wear its Motor City jerseys on Sundays. Here's the complete list of games where the team will be outfitted in the all-chrome unis.
Fri, 10/30 vs. Chicago
Sat, 11/21 vs. Washington
Wed, 12/16 vs. Boston
Thu, 12/31 vs. Minnesota
Mon, 1/18 vs. Chicago
Thu, 2/4 vs. New York
Sat, 3/26 vs. Atlanta
