    Really, Texans the worst of the three? I guess we all have our own opinions.

    But yeah, I bought a Landry jersey back in '07, and the shoulders look too stupid for me to wear it with a lean body type. It sits in my closet.

    You know who has sick jerseys? The NHL. Love my NHL sweaters.

    I'll this for the unis...at least they're red. I was happy just to have the return to red...just like I'll be happy to have the return to blue/orange for the Astros.

    Yeah, man. The NHL just has a classy aesthetic with sweaters and logos all around IMO. Every team looks classic (except for Anaheim and Columbus).

    I had recently come around to the new "R" logo. I actually quite like it now. However, the jerseys do suck. I really liked that one jersey one of these posters posted in his thread on the matter. I think if you take somebody else's opinion on the team's general aesthetic, you may allow them to project their negativity onto your own opinion. Frankly, I don't think the logo is as terrible as the author of that article depicted it as being. As many people may hate the logo, I'm sure there as many people who think it's actually quite nice. I even remember a Lakers-fan friend of mine from a while back saying that if he had the money, he would have liked to purchase a Rockets jersey because of how "smooth and silky" they look overall.

    Why has scrutinizing jerseys become so popular? There's like 50 page threads where people are whining about the collar on the Texans jerseys. Do we need a fashion/style forum?

    Everyone wants to look good..from players to fans sporting the jerseys. You look good, you feel good.

    I'll take a winning team no matter what the jerseys look like.

    I don't mind the uniforms, but care less for the logo. Bringing back yellow trim would be cool, though.

    They should be lower, bottom 3 or something. I actually think though the home ones weren't that bad before but after the NBA had that whole 'revolution', changed the fabrics and especially the font change, it all went to hell. The new alternatives with mustard and red was a nice attempt but fails. It's time for either something new, colour scheme and maybe even logo or just change back to retro with some flavour to it.

    ^I think a lot more goes into changing unis than just liking it or disliking it.

    our uniforms are nothing more than an ugly sellout for asian revenue, with little to no relevance to houston or the team's history

    lol this is so funny I remember when Red and Gold (Ketchup and Mustard) was so hated. People are always going to complain. Even the throw backs with red and yellow which I know many liked had people complaining that it was to McDonald's or Chinese Flag like....


    Edit: I do love the uniform posted above though.
