After years and years of fans clamoring for it, it’s finally done. The Detroit Pistons are bringing back their teal look.

The timing couldn’t be better. They’ve got a young, up-and-coming core led by Cade Cunningham and Jaden Ivey that makes things pretty exciting. And, if nothing else, they look good.
