    These look good. Love the simplicity. I even like your take on the "rings" over the ones on the actual current jersey.

    I'd love to see these without the accessories. The only thing I'm not crazy about is the dynamic color changes on your logo. The logo design is decent as well. Good work

    LOVE IT MAYNE

    I am in the camp that doesn't want to stray too far from the championship identity and those primary home and away are just right. The 2 alternates are different enough to be cool when they use them now and then. Only thing i don't like is the shade of red for the primary away and home. Maybe it's my screen but the color looks too bland. I prefer a deeper not so pink-red.

    Noice! Not my favorite logo but the red and blue version could change my mind, it really pops. Used to be a die hard red, white mustard uni guy but I'm really digging the black, red and gray color schemes. Gotta say the Fusion is still my favorite, love the checkers and the collar on that version much better.

    I would do away with the white altogether, replace it with the more modern gray instead (with checkers!).

    Thanks to all for the compliments. Obviously was going for an approach that encompassed all era's of Houston Rockets ball. Hard to do!

    What's crazy to see is just how different everyone's taste is. I don't envy who over has to take on the job officially!

    Overall very good job. At first didn't like the logo, but it grew on me. Totally better than the current logo

    Would totally rock these if they were official, and after I've gotten back in the gym

    Would take Begley's versions over Nike's any day. But that all mustard one hurts my eyes.

    Agreed, also we have too many teams with the same color scheme...

    Houstons mustard jerseys are ****ing hideous but I love the retro one

    Denvers are dope af and the Heats Miami vice one is a favorite too

    Houston definitely had the weakest ones though

    If these jerseys shoulders are slim like tanktops I might be buying a few jerseys this year. Nike should even do a Nike Jersey ID in which you can pick the colors on their website. I'd buy like 3

    Brian Begley concepts:

    Boston: Love the vintage home and away. Hate the black one and hate the primary home and away.
    Brooklyn: LOVE the set, would scrap the gray and do red and blue jersey based off JKidd era alt.
    New York: LOVE the entire set. The orange and blue is gorgeous and that vintage off white works so good for NY
    Philadelphia: Hate it. Start over. The black and white Chamberlain era is the only decent one.
    Toronto: Hate it. Scrap it all.
    Chicago: Simple and classic. No complaints.
    Cleveland: Hate it. Start over.
    Detroit: Hate it. No need to change their current new/old look.
    Indiana: LOVE IT.
    Milwaukee: It's fine i guess..no real complaints.
    Atlanta: It's okay. Nothing really stands out.
    Charlotte: Not much different than what they already have, its cool.
    Miami: Meh? Eh....nah.
    Orlando: Yuck. Keep only the retro.
    Washington: Yuck. Keep only the retro.
    Dallas: Who tf cares.
    HOUSTON ROCKETS: Yuck. No thanks.
    Memphis: It's pretty cool.
    New Orleans: I dig it!
    San Antonio: I like the "San Antonio" retros but none of the others.
    Denver: Pretty cool.
    Minnesota: Scrap it.
    Portland: Cool.
    OKC: Scrap it.
    Utah: Love to hate the 80s/90s look and the green alt. Scrap the blue and scrap the black and create 2 based off late 90s Finals appearance.
    Golden State: I can dig it.
    Clippers: I actually like it a lot.
    Los Angeles: Meh. Not feeling it. I like the MPLS blue retro only.
    Phoenix: Scrap it except the 80s retro.
    Sacramento: Love it.
    Seattle: I like it except the red late 90s one.

    Good work and very clean and professional. Kudos to that.

    My personal preferences......Not a big fan of the LOGO. I do prefer the current "R" logo, perhaps converted into a "roundel." Basically take the current branding and refine it.

    On the jerseys, I like more of a "v cut" in the neckline versus the retro scoop.

    I like your "Dark Energy" jerseys/outfits the best because they incorporate elements from the current uniforms with the vertical arrows and use your new styles. I'd like to see your "Dark Energy" design elements added to the White & Red jerseys. Personally, not a fan of the blue alternates, though those are better than the current grey ones.

    Also, because this was a pet peeve of mine on the 94 uniforms, kudos to you for using ALL UPPERCASE letters on the font instead of the mismatch upper/lower on the 94 uniforms (aka ROCKetS).

    Again, those are just my personal preferences. Appreciate the time you spent refining those uniforms.

    I like the last two but hate the mustard yellow. I'd also really like "Houston" over "rockets" on the jersey

    We should have a jersey with "Screw City" on it

    I'm gonna throw up. The more I look at the white jersey the angrier I get. Who is in charge of this? They are showing complete disregard to our uniform and its embarrassing. The Wolves, Pacers, Hornets, Blazers, Cavs, and more are all getting new uniforms and it shows that they actually care when you look at their social media accounts. I want us to look good on the court damn it!

    -The 'Rockets' is super outdated and only works on the old uniforms (Yao-era) with the dazzle material, v-neck, and number font.
    -'Rockets' has a black drop shadow but the collar, armholes, and numbers are just solid red. How did no one suggest adding black to the trim or the number? This is a disaster, and just adds to the cheapness of the look.

    I'm assuming a redesign and rebrand was the least of Les's concerns. Whoever approved the Nike version of our jerseys didn't seem to care much either. I mean they knew about the vendor change a while back and had a perfect opportunity to make significant design changes.

    I'm surprised Harden hasn't made a bigger deal about it too.

    Agreed, I wish James would say something. You'd think with his ventures into fashion, he would be vocal about this on IG or something.

    I'm gonna guess some awful Nike employee put the bare minimum in a suggestion for the new look, and someone at Rockets was like ya sure whatever APPROVED.
