I've said it before. I'll say it again. Some genius at the Coca Cola company keeps hearing that if you don't move forward, then you are moving backward. What does he decide to do? Change the taste of the most popular soft drink in the world. What happens? Sales fall. Surprise, surprise. I remember the joy I experienced when I would find a vending machine stuck in the back of an auto parts store that only gets restocked every 12 months and still had a few old Cokes left in it. Well, the Rockets tried to move forward with the unis and look what happened. Now it is time to do what Coca Cola did next to solve their little dilema. Coca Cola Classic! The same thing they had been making forever suddenly was elevated to something that it had never been before. I guess you never no what you have until its gone. The Rockets need to modernize the old unis and bring them back. They don't have to go retro, but it would sure be nice to see the red and gold again.
The Astros are a good example of uniform changes. The rainbow stripes were hideous but I remember every little league team the the country had some version of them at one time or another. But now their uniforms are very nice...I have no problems with them at all. That lends some hope for the future Rockets uniforms. os PS I liked New Coke.
