Big Sean is partnering with the Detroit Pistons to give back to the Boys & Girls Clubs of Southeastern Michigan.
When the Pistons take on the San Antonio Spurs on Sean’s birthday (March 25), fans can purchase a ticket package that includes a limited edition Sean bobblehead. Proceeds will go back to the Pistons’ foundation benefiting the Boys & Girls Clubs local to the area.

The partnership between Big Sean and the Detroit Pistons is long-running.
Back in 2020, the Pistons announced Sean as their new creative director of innovation.

In the role, Sean was tapped to guide the NBA franchise’s cultural aesthetics, which ranges from the design of merchandise to the different experiences fans get at games, on and off the court.
During a conversation with The Undefeated, the Detroit 2 rapper explained how the deal came about.

“It was really something I threw out in the universe one day,” Sean said. “I mentioned it, like, man, ‘They need to give me a job!’ Talking about the Pistons, Red Wings, Tigers or Lions. I’m a huge Detroit fan. I’m ride or die with it. I’ve always said that, but especially with the Pistons. It’s crazy that it happened like this. I’m just truly grateful.”
“[I’m going] to bring that feeling and that aesthetic that I grew up with in admiring the Pistons as the franchise” he added. “Not to say it’s gone anywhere, but to really think creatively on how to execute a vision. I’ll creatively come up with ideas for us to look good and have fun and, you know, to culturally put our best foot forward.”
In 2022, Sean brought back the team’s retro teal-colored jerseys in partnership with Nike.
The moment was a full-circle one for the rapper, who shared:

“Paying tribute to a Detroit classic ‘St. Cecilia’s’ (hence the green). The 3stars (for the 3 championships the accumulated) and that blue outline (for Detroit being a blue collar city). I actually went to St. Cecilia’s for basketball camp when i was a shorty so its full circle for real. They will wear these jerseys in game for about 10 games.”
