    Why on earth would they put Yao on there? Well, I know why, but it seems corny. Who's body is that lol?

    And where can I get those shorts?

    Hate the warriors but i'll admit their chinese jersey does look pretty cool. Our's is a little plain in comparison.

    There are Rockets fans all over the world, including China and Spanish speaking countries. I think it's a nice shoutout to people who are following from thousands of miles away.

    But apparently we have some Houston xenophobes who would rather not let them have any fun for a few measly days. Go Rockets.

    Never half-ass a design scheme. Those jerseys should have been done in Spanish and read:

    Houston Cohetes
    Dallas Disidentes
    Nueva York Holandés
    Miami Calor
    Phoenix Sols
    Chicago Toros

    Just adding "Los" to every team is pathetic and gringo-speak at best.

    That's actually how they refer to the teams in Latin America. It's like calling the Chivas the Goats here. They just call them Chivas (USA).

    It doesn't really mean much in the scheme of things, but ESPN has relegated the Rockets' Chinese New Year uniforms to the last paragraph of its story, while the Warriors uniforms are news.

    Is this because Clutch reported this back in preseason or is it another case of ESPN's continuing lack of objectivity when it comes to their darling Warriors?

    Yeah, I thought putting Yao there was kinda corny. But putting young Yao's head on some other dude's body is even cornier.
