    Clutch City ones are whatever..meh. Would be pretty cool if it wasn't sleeved and the font was different. Umm, why not use the font from the "Clutch City" days?!

    The grey ones will always look like practice jerseys, so it's a no for me. Again, sleeved.. ugh. They look like SAS colors, too.. Remove the sleeves, make the grey a little darker, change the font and put more red than black and it might be passable.

    I initially hated the black ones but they are starting to warm up to me. I still don't love the big white font, maybe if they make the font slimmer it would be better? And I hate the red bordering on the shorts. It's look like a step up from a college jersey.

    Bottom line, I'm pretty disappointed in them. Waited so long for new jerseys, especially a black one and nothing really satisfied me. Nothing that made me go, "WOW, I really need to spend the 80 to 110 dollars to get one of those bad boys!!" Those jerseys won't even make me go to Academy or the team store to check them out unless I'm already there for another reason.

    There are so many fan made designs that are infinitely better than those some "professional" designer was paid a good chunk of change to put out. This team really needs to revamp there whole design. Keep the colors red, yellow, white and black/dark grey and work with that.

    i had high hopes for something much different given our visit to the WCF and totally new team. just doesnt make any sense whatsoever that we are sticking with the R or HR now... its apparent that everyone wants something drastically different. not very smart decision making going on as far as jerseys are concerned...

    well...I don't really like any of them. The black is nothing special. Boring but not bad.
    The Clutch city one has a weird font. The grey is just awful.
    I don't like the side rocket inspired pattern. The idea was interesting but it doesn't work imo.

    All bad and please tell me if I'm crazy but Houston on the black jersey is kind of broken white (in our language we call it that) and the number is clearly different and much brighter yes? If they fixed that font and make it identical in terms of colour, it would be a bit better..should've said Rockets as well. I like Rockets over Houston but that's a personal thing since I have zero connection to Houston.

    Honestly there are too many jerseys for some teams. We are becoming like the Heat with all these jerseys, smh.

    There should be one home one away and one home and an alternate.

    And it's annoying how now it is common for teams to wear their road alternates at home, with the road team wearing their home jerseys on the road. That looks bad to ma for some reason.

    They're OKAY, except for the "Clutch City" one.


    I always thought these were fine.

    I love the Clutch City idea...but hate the execution with this design.

    Of these, I like the black the best. No idea why they showed us that design if they're not going to wear them next year.

    So based on the poll results:

    64% like the black jersey
    20% like the Clutch City jersey
    16% like the silver jersey

    Yup, really odd they changed it all the way. Should've just made those have Clutch City instead of Houston if they really wanted that on a jersey.

    I think people like the black one just because it's black, but be honest, that design is bland and not even the red trim works well.

    What is bland about the black jersey?

    What do you want? Flames on the shorts?

    Wait are we phasing out the ketchup and mustard alt? I assumed we'd just add these to the pool. I like our current alts (would love for them to become our regular)

    The T's on the Clutch city ones look like c's or G's, i don't know. The lettering is pretty bad. Can't believe someone got paid money to design that.

    The black ones look too much like Portland imo, and I've been wanting a silver alternate for a long time but the sleeves really kill it.

    Can't vote for anything with sleeves. All 3 would actually be fine without the sleeves. I'd quibble about all the real estate Clutch City takes up, but it's alright because it's an alternate and not the main uni.

    The blacks look good. The checkerboard doesn't bother me and the explanation makes some sense. Like the red trim. Complaints about fonts and shades of white are too minor to bother with on an alternate.
