    No disrespect or demands being made here. Just curious guys, the current layout for the clutchfans website is a bit geared towards the current rockets theme. Since its quite obvious both Les and the marketing office are timid in terms of changing the new look, maybe it's time for clutchfans to take the initiative and show how good of a look it is so the Rockets fans and hopefully front office can see it as well (considering how a lot of current and former players and front office people check this site).

    Thoughts or am I going too far and demeaning Clutch (which btw, i do not mean to do in anyway)?

    I like the idea, but if ClutchFans was going to make an impact on the Rockets' unis I would think the dozens of threads about going to a more retro-theme would have done something.

    I'm sure, though, that CF has already had many effects on the Rockets organization.

    Please add a pic of Dwight Howard and D-Will to the main page while you're at it.

    Cool idea but isn't it asking Clutch to do a lot more work?

    Could be worth a try though.

    Can someone just write a short letter to them and post it here? Then just flood them with emails and tweets.

    Also, for any up and coming professionals that want to work in TV, maybe you can get together and interview random people and then edit a nice video for them, since they seem to like that kind of thing. :)

    I like the idea if it's something that clutch is open to. Of course I have no idea the work involved or even if it is appropriate.

    He could have a retro layout for the forum which wouldn't take too much work I imagine. But changing the entire structure and layout of the website? Might take a considerable amount of time.

    While watching the 76er's and celtics game, the commentators were talking about how the 76er's revived the franchise by cutting ticket prices and changing the look inside wells fargo arena(the logo and uniforms) back to retro, the fans are coming back. The arena is selling out more and people are watching. You would think management would think about this stuff!!! it NEEDs to be done.

    You know, that doesn't surprise me. People think you can have history while continuously changing uniforms/arenas just to make money. It doesn't, it just removes visual cues that remind you of the history/love you have for the franchise.

    Seems like it would confuse the heck out of the random visitors.

    That's how stupid he's been. He's been on a stupid roll. The layout is fine. Changing it would take a considerable amount of time and lock us all out for a while.

    First thing Clutch should do is remove the pictures of Chck Hayes, Jordan Hill, and Yao Ming off of the homepage thing since they are no longer part of the team
