As far as merch goes; a hoodie with that color is decent; i'm just not a fan as a jersey representing the Rockets. This is coming from someone whose favorite color is blue. Not to go full color theory, but Blue, philosophically speaking, is the opposite of Red. Red (with combinations with white/black/yellow) has always been Rockets color. Colors and tradition. It's just feels weird. I'm picky now, it's one of those things where if players wear it enough, fans may get used to it. Bought the city edition ones from last year, but most likely not getting these blue ones.
