@H.D. was referring to the ridiculous loan Tillman took out to purchase the team (I believe). Credit Karma makes money by recommending credit card, personal loan, mortgage, auto insurance, and other financial products. Once you get approved for the product, the bank / financial institution pays Credit Karma. And now with the debit product, they make money off of interchange (a % of the charge every time you swipe). Everyone on here is being so dramatic lol. It's an awkward match given the color clash, but a lot of misinformation is being spread just because you all hate Tillman: Credit Karma got acquired for $7.1 billion - it's not some ho hum business CK Money is free - no minimum balance requirements, no overdraft fees, and free withdrawals from Allpoint ATMs (like Cardtronics, which are all over casinos like the Golden Nugget and usually charge exorbitant fees) CK Money is FDIC insured up to $5 MM CK Savings gives you a 0.17% APY return - there are other high interest savings accounts that get you a higher return, but this is still better than what banks like Chase offer you Credit Karma is providing a service to the underbanked - framing any of the above as "predatory" is just ridiculous. There are a million other reasons to hate Tillman - you don't have to make up things about our jersey sponsor to prove that he is a blowhard!
Good write up and appreciate and agree. There is PLENTY to knock tilman on, heck we have quotes and I try to share em, but its easy to make it an avalance. Then again, I never thought i'd miss the Rokit patch..here we are, I mean they cacn't blend in the colors or something? It just doesn't match and looks so tacky...this is the worst patch since Clint Capela. But at this pont, we're rebuilding, take the highest bidder for the next couple years then bring back the mustard and red and do a right debut in a couple years please
The most ridiculous thing about this entire thread and people acting like the sponser is a bad look/budget brand or something is that Credit Karma is valued at $4bn, the Rockets are valued at $2.5bn. Pure insanity. Y'all just like to get mad for the sake of it.
CK Money is trying to build up brand recognition, so that’s my bet why they didn’t adapt the logo for our jerseys.
Nah, nba is a billions business. No shame in getting that bag wherever you can we get that You really think this just looks good or doesn't feel tacky? this isn't about the billion cash flow they have, its lke clippers with bumble...they have a modern looking patch so it won't draw too much, but what in the hell? But you won't be accused of being biased on Balmer if you call it out, tilmann only fans just get a bit too sensitive or seemingly can't handle it, not sure why. but you really think a bright white green patch that says credit karma money is something that any big brand, a lberon or anyone else is goign to want to associate with in every picture of them playing? It doesn't match, its tacky, and of course we've been a laughing stock for our rep for trying to save money and this fits that brand but as mentioend, doesn't matter much. We're in rebuilding so this is all fine with our team, 2-3 years of that and we get back upto speed and mybe get new jerseys and something matching or well just draw a better brand. I think its funny, but yea we've had enough of funnny. Get in our no 2 pick, lets build a real franchise again, and well change the narrative of the last 3 years. Tlman, enjoy the cash flow next few years, just be ready when its the window again .
Yea thats fair enough, but cmon credit karma money you can do a little better with that brand. Looks like a third grader designed it. But they might want to preach simplicity or some crap like that. The branding for the nba has been interestind we got Rokit...no one knows what that is. You can goto their website and also leave not knowing what they are, but no one said thing, it fit, it looked alright. go get the money Then warriors also got some big chinese company trying to make a name not a bad bet by the companies, but at this level of money you have to have the right partnership. Sadly this plays into way too many jokes about tilman and his money and how leveraged he is, but its not going to be a conversation mcuh longer when the tip of happens. WE had a long long year, the onsaught from our team being no 1 to bottom of the league allows us to have nothing to do but complain and speculate. Like I said, when KPJ and Green or mobley or whoever are rocking next year, well be focused on that. Tll be a nother rebuilding year probably, so it will be tough, but we have a direction and soon enough that topic will be squashed if our franchise makes good decisons. Some may leave CF before to not see it happened, heck people are asking me to leave just bc i quote tilman fertitta on his own words, so i may lose my welcome. but I've been with the rockets before and will be after, so one way or another, go rockets. That doesnt mean go tilman fertita, doesnt mean go James harden, or go morey...its bigger than anyone person, jsut means go Houston. thats who I'm rooting for, blind loyalty to no person.
Nothing says basketball like a loan company. When I think bball I think about credit score and mortgage rates. It looks like a name tag sticker at a business convention. Can they at least change the background to the uni's primary or secondary color?
this only goes to prove they are but a media conspiracy victims hating on anything houston and anything rockets @Os Trigonum
nah its so fitting for the tanking (purposefully losing ) franchise... and nothing says we just dont care for nothing(save money) then a shitty logo
