    I'm getting differing viewpoints on Academy but I guess 2 votes for is enough. I'll check them out too thanks.

    Yeah I'll probably have to check out Lids too cause I'm pretty certain Academy won't have any decent hats.

    Academy used to have tons of Rockets stuff then the fans left and now we have about as much stuff or less than the Dynamo.

    I stopped by Academy the other day and picked up a Dwight Howard Alternate Jersey...everyone here is right though the Rockets section is very very small with few selections

    oo Rockets apparel. My favorite thing to talk about.

    • I recommend Fanzz!-I see stuff in Fanzz I sometimes never see anywhere else. Great selection usually of shirts, jerseys, jackets and hats. One in the First Colony Mall and maybe Memorial City Mall?
    • Marshall's and TJ Maxx are hit or miss.
    • Academy is awesome.
    • Sports Authority is TERRIBLE.
    • Lids has a great online store, but only hats in physical locations.
    • Champs will have good stuff seasonally.
    • Someone just told me that some Houston area Wal-Marts just got Rockets apparel in. They actually have some decent designs sometimes. One of my favorite Rockets shirts is from there. My local Wal-Mart doesn't carry Rockets stuff
    • HEB plus stores (the bigger ones) have been carrying Rockets shirts for awhile. haven't looked this season, but last season they had 24+ shirt styles at one point. Although some of them were horribly designed.

    Good luck! Let us know what you buy!

    Last year, the Academy on Westheimer and Voss (Hilcroft) had a very nice Rockets section. Tons of different style shirts/hats, ect. Also had all of the major players' jerseys. Not sure about this season though.

    Though it's been mentioned already... I am partial to Lids Locker Room. The one in Willowbrook had a lot of nice stuff when I went there a year or so ago. And I think there's one in Memorial City too.

    Appreciate the help everybody! Hats courtesy of Lids and shirt courtesy of Academy. Academy on 45 and West Rd. did have a nice selection. I was surprised.

    Sports Authority don't have much Rockets gear. I have a gift card I need to spend and there's hardly any Rockets gear besides the cheap replica jerseys and just 2 shirt designs. They have a butt load of Texans gear but not much on the Rockets.

    Your joke falls flat sir . I knew someone would say something like that which is why I almost used "Brick and Mortar" instead.
