    I feel like I haven't seen it in years. Does anybody know why?

    I think they use the red and yellows they have now for throwback nights...which is a travesty

    The championship era jerseys with a slightly different font is all I ask for.

    Who knows... Whoever is running that department for the Rockets is doing a terrible job. Same boring uniforms for 10 years now, and they screwed up our alternate jersey (way too much yellow). Looking forward to the new ones next year.

    Same uniforms next year... just a different jersey fit. They are supposed to be slimmer around the shoulders like the alternates.

    New alternates, plus home and road will have different cut and name/number font.

    If you haven't noticed, when adidas switched the league-wide jersey to the revolution30, we went from these numbers...

    to these..

    while also for some reason eliminating the space between the top of the number and 'Rockets', which looks terrible compared to before.


    you might also notice our numbers now are the exact same ones the Pacers use

    how creative and unique...

    I'm pretty the "bring back the championship era jerseys" type.

    The last rollout of "NBA Harwood Classics Night" jerseys was in 2012-13 season. With Adidas now pushing sleeved jerseys and "Pride" uniforms of late, I think we've seen the last of the throwback program for now.

    I think the Raptors wore their old purple uniforms this year. But I can't recall any other teams wearing throwbacks recently...

    The Raps wore their throwbacks in a special circumstance ...their 20th Anniversary Season. Not related to NBA Hardwood Classic Nights program

    The Heat wore their throwback for like a month straight the past two seasons.

    Isn't it the 20th anniversary of the 94-95 championship? And on that note, why the hell didn't they bust out the championship jerseys last year in honour of the 93-94 team? Rockets seem to be droping the ball on this one...

    I could've sworn they were planning on wearing the 96-03 Space-City Jerseys a season or two ago but I guess it fell thru.

    You can only redesign uniforms every so often. Gotta save the rights to create the new uniforms as a recruiting tool to the next big FA. Hey KD, sign with Houston, we'll even let you help design the new uniform.

    Is there a single person on the planet that prefers the wide shoulder WNBA look?

    I think minus the pinstripes they're actually fairly sharp
