unchanged for two decades, featuring the word "Pistons" in blue block lettering. In the 1978–79 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 1981–96 threads.<a href="#cite_note-294">[294]</a> The horse's head and flaming mane logo lasted until 2005, when the team switched to a more classic logo design.<a href="#cite_note-2005_logo-295">[295]</a> 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.<a href="#cite_note-NewPistonsLogo2017-4">[4]</a><a href="#cite_note-freep-newlogo17-296">[296]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Mascot">Mascot</h3>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Detroit_Pistons&action=edit&section=20" title="Edit section: Mascot">edit</a>]</div> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1273380762/mw-parser-output/.tmulti"><div class="thumb tmulti tright"><div class="thumbinner multiimageinner" style="width:204px;max-width:204px"><div class="trow"><div class="tsingle" style="width:202px;max-width:202px"><div class="thumbimage"><a href="/wiki/File:Hooper_at_Milliken_State_Park_Lighthouse.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img alt="" src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/8/86/Hooper_at_Milliken_State_Park_Lighthouse.jpg/200px-Hooper_at_Milliken_State_Park_Lighthouse.jpg" decoding="async" width="200" height="150" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/8/86/Hooper_at_Milliken_State_Park_Lighthouse.jpg/300px-Hooper_at_Milliken_State_Park_Lighthouse.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/8/86/Hooper_at_Milliken_State_Park_Lighthouse.jpg/400px-Hooper_at_Milliken_State_Park_Lighthouse.jpg 2x" data-file-width="4032" data-file-height="3024" /></a></div><div class="thumbcaption">Hooper at Milliken State Park Lighthouse</div></div></div></div></div> Hooper is the <a href="/wiki/Mascot" title="Mascot">mascot</a> of the Pistons.
