I'm not sure why the Houston Rockets twitter didn't highlight the alternates like every other team. anyway... I think the black alternates look really good.. I wasn't sure, but they look good in action.
Such a plain jersey, the Rockets do not even care to promote it. Also, our white and red jersey shorts still have the same two lines so it doesn't even match now. Nike x Rockets = hideousness.
Think the collar looks off. Think the last years alternative looked cleaner and the side checker pattern was better. Still best jersey we have though. Maybe next year we change.
Also breaking news, I've heard that the 4th jersey will not be GRAY. It will be indeed clutch city inspired. Not exactly the one from 2 years ago. But similar.
Clutch City inspired or Chinese inspired? Looks like @ths balla was right on the Rockets and at least the Raptors too. (http://dailyhive.com/vancouver/video-game-leaks-30-nba-statement-jerseys) Spoiler: Raptors concept only So we're probably getting Chinese jerseys, not Clutch City. Spoiler: Probably similar to this, updated with the Nike template
It's called city edition, Rockets are not in Beijing! We might have one for Chinese New Year as a surprise. They haven't announced X-mas jerseys either, but some good sources have seen those for the Warriors and one other team too.
With "Houston" font on red/mustard jesey? I want Rockets to wear that on red/mustard jersey along with black jersey.
I was excited for the Nike takeover but I haven't been impressed. A HOUStOn labeled ketchup and mustard edition would salvage the line. I am too old for jerseys anyway so hopefully the polos will be fire.
It better say Clutch City in a cool way, small and not that ridiculous font from the last few throwbacks. The Houston 2010-11 red gold was perfect!
