    I'm sorry to say, but what has been lost in all the excitement is the fact that they messed up the championship jersey just like some knock offs and I think even the Adidas cheap ones did. Take off the nostalgia glasses and watch, just like Mario Elie is at the current compressed and bigger font that makes it look awful:

    You don’t see it’s not accurate? These are like the cheap swingman mitchell and ness knockoffs.

    More like: I don't care that it's inaccurate.

    If you see ketchup and mustard, rejoice. Buy that ****. Celebrate. Because if you don't love it, they'll change it. Don't take a good thing away from me.

    Not worth complaining about, maybe? Font size??? We finally get ketchup and mustard and font size is the problem. This offseason has been real y’all.

    If you really don’t see how it’s compressed and think it’s just a bit bigger, if at all, then I guess that’s just what it is. It is a serious flaw and not just some minor alteration. Cheap chinese knockoffs look the same, guess Tilman trying to keep in touch that way ;)

    I’ve heard of historically accurate but this is ridiculous! Beats the hell out of the “clutch city” compression shirt ode to the ketchup and mustard that came out a few years ago.

    Whiner. Best news we’ve gotten in many off-seasons, and you still find a reason to complain.

    Nothing is ever good enough for the BBS these days.

    Lets just say if we never switched jerseys. We never go with the blue pinstripes, and then the Chinese takeout. We kept this same look. This is exactly what the jerseys would have looked like. The reason being most likely is because of Nike. The use a generic template that has a certain cut. It’s different than what champion used. So it may have varied slightly when adidas has the contract. It’s slightly gonna be different thanks to Nike.

    It’s not supposed to be an exact replica! (Everyone needs to use useless exclamation points right?)

    That's the thing, it's actually supposed to be. They just used an odd composition that can be seen in chinese knockoffs and adidas cheap replicas from years back, Hardwood classics:

    I get you guys want to stay hyped about it and good for you, but I'm just pissed they went with this odd choice of the font bigger, compressed and actually too high and close to the Rokit logo and armpits. Makes it look very bad. It's all pressed together.

    You do know this is a concept photo?

    What makes it look bunched together is the words are angled and slanted.

    Way better than what we had. We wont know until they wear them. Even then....its really not that big of a deal. They look good to me.

    looks like nobody really cares...I was hoping they’d give us some ketchup and mustard, and they delivered

    Rockets needed to step up their condiment game, and they did, yet here u are crying about the font? C’mon man...

    They'll say it's because they're diehard fans that they "care so much". I say they need to find new/more hobbies.
