    That Houston font looks weird. But it's ok.

    I think they look nice. A nice combination of the old colors with the current letter and number font. Curious what the shorts look like.

    Oh come off it. What does the Chinese flag or McDonalds have to do with it? There aren't companies and flags that use red and white as their primary colors? Should we slap Denmark's flag on the current jersey? Get over it, the Rockets were CHAMPIONS wearing Red and Gold and hopefully the next time they win they'll be wearing Red and Gold again.

    ...according to Berman's story...Yao likes it...

    HOUSTON - Wednesday night The Houston Rockets will unveil a new addition to the selection of uniforms they will use during the 2009-2010 season.

    FOX 26 Sports has pictures of it now on our website. The alternate uniform is red with gold trim. The red color is not quite the same as their other jerseys and the fabric has a different look and feel.

    Rockets center Yao Ming likes the Rockets new alternate uniform.

    "That looks like an old school uniform, but I like it," Yao said. "The color and the style and also the material, it feels very good.

    "Sorry I can't wear it this year, but I can't wait for next season."

    I'll reserve judgment until I see it being worn by someone.

    First impression: more yellow than I expected.

    That is awful. Couldn't they get e bit more creative with that? I mean, all they did was mash up the current jerseys with the championship ones. The collars and sleves make no sense from a design stand point.

    Very, very WNBA.

    But I'd take them over our current ones because of the better shoulder cut.

    interesting. they're even worse than i was preparing myself for.

    these ones are freaking gorgeous and i think 99% of this board agrees. i don't know how difficult it is for them to do something right for once and just implement these.
