Automotion is no more

Vince Ellis of the Detroit Pistons:

"The dance team Automotion now just goes by the name of "Pistons dance team.""

I’ve been on board with basically everything Tom Gores’ regime has done, but they lost me here. Automotion is a great name, an improvement from the group’s original title: the already-good “Classy Chassis.” “Pistons dance team” is as boring as could be.

I assume the dance team will eventually be rebranded, and maybe its new moniker will be an improvement – but I doubt it. Automotion set a high bar.
