(Not again) New Rockets Jersey

Matt Maloney in that picture like he belongs there lol.

 

I'm sure it's been posted, but for reference I believe this was the original concept for the mid-90s logo (left) before they went overboard with the rocketshark:

 

My first thought as well.

 

Wow the left one is a million times better. The one they ended up having looks so corny. Im glad we got rid of it a long time ago.

 

I want the pinstripes and old Rocket logo back, always so much hate.

 

*Sigh, I just want change haha...We should have had our jerseys redisigned back in 2012 when our tag line was "A New Age". New jerseys would have fit perfectly with that marketing campaign

 

Still horrible

 

Did this jersey with the current color scheme:

 

Stop making terrible redesigns people.

 

lol I keep coming hoping for news on new jerseys. :grin:

 

Shorts too.

 

Personally, I wish we would go back to the championship year jerseys. I guess I am just nostalgic. At least they are better than the awful pajama uniforms.

 

I'm too lazy to go back and see if it was posted already, but this one is from reddit.

Spoiler

 

Based on that article that was posted, apparently the jersey sales for those ketchup and mustard uniforms were some of the worst in the league.

And one thing the organization found out during market research is that people just don't like the yellow. (I know a lot of people who are not Rockets fans who do not like the combination of red and yellow together).

Now, that was 20 years ago when that research was done... but unless people's taste for yellow (or red and yellow together) significantly changed over that period of time, I'm guessing the old color scheme will not be making a full-time comeback.

 

The gold needs to be more subtle, grey / silvers should dissappear and make way for orange / black. Fire = red, orange and yellow / gold so that could work.

 

Spot on.

 

They can't change their team name, though.
Possible colors given their team name:

Red
Orange
Silver / Grey
Black
Yellow
Blue

Anything else would be a stretch, even though they were green in San Diego.

If we are thinking two primary colors, it is important to note:
Suns = Orange, Grey (maybe purples one of their primaries, not sure)
Heat/Bulls = Red, Black
Pacers = Yellow, Black
Spurs = Silver, Black
Knicks = Blue, Orange
Etc.

I don't think the Red/Silver combo is the issue. It's not amazing, but not horrible.

They just need a better design around it!

 

I always thought the custom color ways for our "Throwback Alternate" were sweet. I could totally get behind this design!

 

Looks like something generic you'd order from an Eastbay catalog.
