    Did anyone catch the MSU/FLA game? But more importantly, has anyone seen the new MSU uniforms? Just one word describes them:

    CLASS

    They're beautiful.

    I'm hoping with the new arena the Rockets will change their unis. I'm just a little tired of the PJs, and MSU's are a nice act to follow.

    And for those interested, check out the Univ. of Illinois ROAD jerseys (They should be navy trimed in orange, and similar to MSUs) for an idea of how the Rockets road unis could look.

    Stories out of Greenway Plaza indicate that a new uniform scheme is planned. Interestingly, a new logo has been in the preliminary stages seemingly forever. I would suspect all to come together for the unveiling right around the time the new arena is completed.

    They should get the same ad company that put together the Texans new logo. That thing is brilliant - even makes me forget about the unimaginative name. Above all else, get rid of the cartoon space ship!

    On second thought, they should just hire the Rocketeer to design the new unis.

    I can't seem to find a good picture to view them (MSU unis)... has anyone found a picture anywhere online where we could see them?

    Do you think the Devil (David Stern)would allow the metalic silver?

    The Rockets uniforms are the most awkward and uncomftorable looking uniforms in the league. Whoever design them was more concerned about how they'ed look than how comfortable they'ed be. The material is cpmpletely diffrent than all the other uniforms in the league. I really hope the front office does something about this right away!

    Clutch or Jeff, it will be a travesty if this picture is not relayed, someway, to the Rockets front office.

    Sammie-

    That's the Globetrotters. They played an exhibition against MSU earlier in the season.

    MSU's road jerseys aren't as nice as the home whites, but they give you a good idea. What do you think? [​IMG]

    Also, take a look at the Illini's road unis.

    It was the best pic I could find.

    those are ok, but I personally think the shooting vest that the Rockets wear should be made their uni's. You know what I'm talking about right? The ones in silver and that have metalic blue strips on the side, and the R logo on the front

    Here's a link for the MSU uniforms... They do look nice...
    http://niketown.nike.com/catalog/specialty_prod_detail.jhtml?style=0623MS&categoryId=50274&

    All of the Nike schools in the NCAA have awesome Uni's...

    Is there a way we can get them to design ours? Or do we have a long contract with Puma?

    All I ask for is that they wouldn't give the Rockets the wide sleeves such as the Suns or Raptors... They look WNBAish...
