    overall design is growing on me. Font still needs to go and the yellow should have been an anodized gold....a bit darker

    o well, it is what it is and these are better than our current imo

    It doesn't look bad. People might complain about the McD colours, but everyone asked for Championship colours, AND THAT MEANS MCDONALDS COLOURS. So get over it.

    I still have a problem with the font though. But at least, it was creative in mixing old with new.

    So I got a closer look at the jersey. DID THEY SERIOUSLY ITALICIZE that ugly font!? Yuck.

    initially i wasn't a fan of them when I saw them leaked here before I saw them at the Season Tix Tip Off party, but when I saw them on Scola/Battier in person, it looks a lot better than I thought. I'm definitely getting an Ariza one when its available.

    I like them alot better then our current jerseys. I would have loved the throwbacks just like philly, Detroit, seattle did we could have gone back to the classics but these will do...maybe one day they will go back completely

    this sketch looks a lot better than what they are wearing....im hoping it's just that they gave scola and shane jerseys a bit bigger than they normally wear just for tonight...if the jersey is too big the folds will somewhat distort the design.....however, the yellow sides look straight on the players, but curved on the sketch. i think that was a big mistake..

    Font needs to go, looks very kid like and some what cartoonish...

    Looks like Shane could do with a little bit of manscaping down south.

    Interesting how in this sketch, "Houston" is in Mustard while the number is in white while the actual jersey is just the opposite.

    I dont know why everyone is complaining. The alternates are sweet. I absolutely love it. I guess I am in the minority, but I like the current unis as well. They are simple and classic. The only change I would make, would change the primary road red to read Houston on the front. That way, we would have two jerseys that read Houston, and the home whites reading Rockets.

    Does anyone know if we will be able to buy the authentic version of the alternate shorts? I have a pair of the authentic shorts in both the road and home. I can honestly say, they are my favorite pair of shorts ever. I have had them since 2004. They were expensive, but man are they comfy.

    Anyone who hates on the red/gold or saying mcdonald's this-china that is obviously some punk kid who didn't have pubes when Yao Ming was drafted yet.

    Sit down, and shut up, children.

    Only a handful of NBA teams can nod to their tradition like we can. Just because your dumb asses were too young to remember when teh Rockets had their tradition made don't be ragging on it. Red/gold should be to the Rockets what green is to the Celtics or red/black is to the Bulls.
