Ranking Primary NBA Logos: #4 Pistons

Well I've read some different opinions on the Pistons logo. Some say it's bad, some say it's good. To me I think if really good. Yes it's plain but let's go into my "way back" time machine and to 1996...

The Pistons drafted Grant Hill and looked like they had a new franchise player and we're trying to move the team away from the "Bad Boys" and usher in a new era. Someone in the front office said "I have a terrible idea!" and the Pistons decided it wasn't and went with it. Or they said "screw it, why not?" and decided to change their team colors and logo to this monstrosity. After 5 years they realized that this was unbelievably awful and tried to fix it by going back to the original colors. Nope still not any good. Flash back through the time portal to 2005 and the Pistons learned and went back to the basics. And we're back to the present. Sometimes flashy can be crappy. Stay classy, Detroit. (A side note: the only logo change the Pistons are allowed to do is go back to the "Bad Boys" era logo. Some one please send the memo.)
