    Darkest times? Not quite. 71-78 only had 2 seasons above .500 and we only won 14 games in 82-83 and only doubled that the next year with Sampson.

    Those jerseys make me ill. I’m sure I would get used to them but I have no warm feelings about those uniforms. I think of Pippen, old ass Barkley and Francis and Cato.... I don’t want to think about that group again.

    I seem to remember that opponent's FT % was down during that era. The uniform was so ugly that the other team got distracted shooting FTs.

    I'm in between...yes, they are ugly, but there's also a certain nostalgia. The blue jerseys remind me of Stevie Franchise, Mobley, Yao. Heck, as a 29 year old, my only real memories of Dream were in the blue jerseys. They underperformed but I loved the players that played in that era. I don't think it would be a bad idea for the ROX to wear them every now and again without making them one of our 4 or 5 main jerseys, a la what the Astros do with their blue and gold uniforms (granted those are way better than the ROX pin stripes). NBA should figure out a way for teams to bring back certain uniforms for 1-2 games a year. Owners get the cash grab because it'll draw certain fans who love the uniforms. I never understood why the NBA didn't do, say, a few "90's" nights, with both teams sporting the 90's jerseys of their choosing. Seems like a win-win. For the old hacks that feverishly despise those jerseys...don't tune in to 1-2 games a year. I'd and do a whole thing. Would be cool to watch.

    This needs to be it. Or have the original blue was, with no pin stripe or the old cartoonist logo and make the cartoon Rocket large where it starts from the shorts, up to the Jersey on one side. Hard to describe but in my head it looks fresh

    Let's place some games at the Summit. Joel Osteen might be down with it.

    I love the new/current RED ones. I think they look really sharp.
    And the current BLACK ones have always looked good.

    Those are the only 2 ones I use in 2K when playing the team.

    Love both those jerseys too. But Space City Whites have become a favorite of mine the more I see them.

    Would love it if Tilly gave Project 34 or Slam Studios a shot at modern version of the blue pajamas.

    Agreed. Also, I'm laughing at all the subtle details they're trying to show off there. It says "H-Town" on it, and that's all we care about.

    Those uniforms scream mediocrity so keep them in mothballs.
