In keeping with the city's ties to the manufacturing sector, the Detroit Pistons unveiled a slick "Detroit Chrome" alternate jersey on Saturday.

The Pistons explained more about the jerseys on their website:

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.

Here's shooting guard Kentavious Caldwell-Pope rocking the new, highly minimalist look.

The Chrome jerseys will be worn on seven occasions this season, in addition to the Pistons' standard home, away, and "Motor City" uniforms.
