    Ever since we decided to switch mascots, looks like the Rockets have been on the decline... Just being a little superstitious, that's all. We need Turbo back!

    Clutch represents the traditional mascot.

    Turbo represents instant crowd excitement.

    It depends of what you like.

    Clutch = funny antics to keep the crowd going all throughout the game.

    Turbo = stuntman antics to keep the crowd roaring at times when they need it.

    Weren't they both together at one time?

    I like both of them, but if I had to choose I would go with Clutch.

    Turbo was a part of my childhood during the championship years, so he's always gonna have a special place in my heart. Clutch is a solid mascot though, and he does a great job. I would say I love both of them. I would love it if the Rockets brought "Turbo" back......obviously the original guy is gonna be too old now, but they should bring back the costume. Instead of Red and Yellow, have him wear Red and White. I think that would awesome.

    I say bring this guy in as a mascot. What do you think? He'll bring a whole different level of excitement.

    If we're going retro why not also bring Calvin back. He sure beats the hell outta Mr. Drexler.

    Wasn't there source that Calvin will be back with the organization, not sure if it's color commentary but I definitely agree with you! Drexler = Bill's echo...
