    Both. Get rid of the current uniform in red or white - and make a BLack version for the alternate road uni. Have the Classic White ('Rockets') at home, and then the Classic Championship Red with 'Houston' for the main road. I mean, if they REALLY want to sell more jerseys, get rid of the current one, go back to the old ones, plus the Black version of the current one, and sell 300 million jersey next year. :mad:

    I'd be so thrilled if that were it. Classic font, updated colors, even our new logo on it. And it says HOUSTON.

    I hope the new jersey says HOUSTON on it.

    I thought the nuggets one was actually ok. Dark blue, silver stripes on the side, and big fat HTOWN in the middle.

    I think it should be silver color since a rocket is looking silvery like.

    I don't understand all the hate to what you refer to as "pajama jerseys"..

    flame all you want, but I thought those were awesome: they were totally different and unique and even the logo with the dominant red was freaking sweet.. I have a Francis and a Barkley one and if they still fit me, I'd wear em.. y'all are just a bunch of drama queens..

    they're better than the European-style gay over sized in the shoulder area stuff we have now..

    hm he said it was a darker color, but are we going completely away from the color red? i think our jerseys will have red in them as long as Yao is with the team. i think it'll just be a darker shade of red.

    I really hope it's something classic with Houston on chest. I really hate this China jocking/Jettsons theme we have going on now. It makes our players look like WNBA players.

    Not if it looks like Spurs silver. It's so dull.

    Same here. If it were dark red, it would be beautiful. I hope it's not a new design altogether but just an alternate. I'm one of the few people who actually likes our current jerseys.

    Look at what Seattle did a few years back. They went back to their classics and won over their fans despite how bad their teams were. Rockets should just simply follow common sense.

    I didn't want to make a new thread with a poll, but let me clarify.

    BOTH IS NOT AN OPTION. I'm not angry; I just want to draw attention to that. I'm just curious of how much people want black jerseys. Do you REALLY want one more than 1994 and 1995?

    THIS is what the inverse looks like.

    For those of you rocket scientists on the board, this is also what INVERSE means. Sorry for the lousy quality; I didn't want to spend too much time on it.

    You should make a poll, I'd be interested in the results.

    I vote classics.

    Those inverses look like the Chinese national team jerseys... as if the ones now don't resemble them enough already. haha

    Why are they going for darker? There are no traditional Rocket's colours that are darker.

    I thin they should go Gold and Red.

    If they will go darker, then i think that Navy blue will work, however it will look very similar to Cavs' alternate jersey.

    Brown would look disgusting.

    Who can i write to at the Rockets to make the alt uniform Gold?
    Someone start a petition!!!

    Darker and Championship.
