    Why do the Rockets seem to abandon there old jerseys? Look at the Cavs they wear a different jersey every night..

    Those are fantastically hideous.

    God lord.

    It's like the Dallas Mavericks and McDonalds got together and designed a uniform.

    That was my first impression. I don't really like the current jerseys so I just see it as a step in the right direction.

    They'll probably end up adjusting to an even more classic style within the next decade.

    I'm with you whole-heartedly on that. This new alternate is god-awful.

    everything is fine, EXCEPT the font type. Looks like a third-rate division III-A jersey

    Our old colors are McDonalds colors. No way around that. If everybody want the new uniforms to look classic...well they are gonna have MCD"S colors. WNBA Look? At least we don't have a big State Farm logo like the LA Sparks have for the main logo on their uniforms. Just be happy that we have our classic colors back!!! Unless you are like 18 years old, then you might not care about the classic look!

    Right now I like it (nice mix of old and new) but will hold final judgement until I see it on someone running down the court.

    Like someone said earlier though, a bit more yellow than anticipated.

    And no, it doesn't remind me of McDonalds or China or anything else. But it does a GREAT job of reminding me of my beloved Rockets pre-pajamas. :D

    Well, at least the yellow isn't too vibrant. Not terrible, but I wish they would've simply used the old Houston font.

    What's with the colors of the 'HOUSTON' and '09' being inverted?

    And they'll trade Conroy to SA for McClinton.

    McClinton + McGrady + McAriza = McRockets

    WOW, I am impressed. I really like those jerseys, phenomenal work. They are like the old ones but in new fashion.

    I am really looking forward to the season. But as for those jerseys, they are great.

    looks the the Chinese national team jersey colors...following he same trend since Yao got here, i guess it's more important for the rockets to sell jerseys over seas... that being said, I'm getting an Ariza one ASAP

    I can dig it, other than the font used for "HOUSTON" But to agree with some its a nice mix of the old and new. The material and cut definately looks a whole lot better than the current. I think our Rockets will look great beating down Oklahoma come Nov. 6th.

    I would rather have our PJ's.


    Wow. What is with the font? Maybe they will look better on the court, but I kind of doubt it...

    Pretty cool, I guess.

    It's much different from anything we have now, which is good.
