The inclusion of the Jumpman logo on Statement Edition uniforms expands Jordan Brand's connection to all 30 NBA franchises. Since 2017, the Charlotte Hornets have been outfitted by Jordan Brand, and the brand has supplied the NBA All-Star Game uniforms for three years in a row."
This really made some Pistons fans upset.
Jordan logo on a Pistons jersey. This is wrong. Very wrong https://t.co/zlucZQn0AZ

July 21, 2020 So, should Pistons owner Tom Gores call the NBA and say the team doesn't want Jordan's logo on its uniform? He says he wants the organization to represent Detroit -- he says this from LA. This would be proof that he means it.
And it would boost the owner's public approval rating locally.
Would the NBA ever budge? Probably not. Almost certainly not.
Still, it might behoove Gores to say something, even to make a point.
