Nice shout-out to one of my favorite musicians... <iframe width="420" height="315" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/Bc4L3G6vrF8" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> Or, if I'm wrong about that, and this is just a secondary logo, it's absolutely atrocious. Maybe everyone's HR division at work can wear caps and polo shirts with this logo. LOgoL
Doubling down on the Asian anime theme? That is just GOD AWFUL. I'm trying to imagine what it must be like reading through this thread if you're the person who designed and/or approved this. LOL.
THIS IS A REAL NBA LOGO Not the gothic Ann Rice BS that Les has been dragging out there for a decade. We need to DROP all the China BS, Yao is gone and Lin will be... lets just be a damn basketball team with a basketball logo... no more vampire red BS.
I like it. Doubt it appears on the actual jersey or even shorts. It may appear on the court. It will be on hats I'm sure. Y'all losers don't wear Rockets **** at games anyway. You wear your stupid little suit and tie and jacket and play on your god damn phone all game or sit at the bar talking about how you rip people off to line the pockets so you can sit at the Lexus lounge or club seats area.
That logo sucks in my opinion and the font reads ROCKetS. Really? Love our championship TEAM, but the logo? meh.
I can just picture the meetings: Marketing Puke: And see, Mr. Alexander, here's the new logo we designed. We saw that our fans wanted to go back to the red and gold.... Les: You mean to the "ketchup and mustard". No, no, no, I don't like it. Put it away. What do I pay you for? What else you got? Ass-Kiss Marketing Whiz: Well, Les, here's one I came up with.... Les: Yes, that's it! See, people, this is what I'm talking about. I want anyone who's ever picked up chopsticks around the world---and it's a lot---to just buy our stuff like crazy! Marketing Puke: (sotto voce, and uncharitable/grumpy now that his idea was shot down) How about getting people to be able to watch our games on TV? Guess that's not so importa---OW! (as Morey elbows him in the ribs)
Let me be the first to blame this debacle on McHales coaching, Hardens defense and of course Jeremy Lin.
What to be a champion? Get LeBron James. Want to sell merchandise to a new younger Rockets fans base (versus nostalgia) sell HR.
