I've always envisioned us taking a lesson in branding from the best marketers in sports ........Nike. I believe we attempted that with the communist "R" logo and "We R red nation" ode to communist China ( no offense, I'm a socialist...let's party) I think one of the most patented moves in basketball is the Dreamshake. Little rural children in Montana making a fadeaway baseline j refer to it as the "dreamshake" We should embrace the fact that the man who perfected this, none other than top three greatest nba championship center Hakeem Olajuwon, is the greatest player our franchise has ever witnessed. A silhouette of the dreamshake could brand us very similarly within the same vain of the Jordan brand. Now I'm horrible @ photoshop but there are many variations of this: gold, red, in front of the Houston skyline, eclipsing a red or gold bball, beside a launching pad blahblahblah ...the possibilities are exponential I also agree with the idea of replacing the white lines with gold:grin:
I've said many times to bring back the old school look, but replace the yellow with gold to make for a more modern and classy look. Bring these back with a shiny gold: http://sportslogos.net/logo.php?id=srmfw97301go4betj6eysl8ge Sexy. Especially with that court.
Only the Celtics have light (white) lines as boundaries. These are too difficult for officials to see to declare three-pointers, half court, out-of-bounds, etc., in my opinion... but I've never been an NBA referee. I think everyone would benefit from darker red or black lines. Even dark gray would be good.
I like ketchup & mustard and think that is the coolest, though don't feel like to bring them back. Our team colour is now red & silver. We should try to make more modern loook jersey and keep old school one just as our alternative or throw back. Maybe it is time to make new Logo Tweak thread.
Some different home and away uniforms I came up with: Away: Home: Made the court a little different, as well:
i really like the old font they used on the old rockets jerseys. i dont see why they couldnt have used it on the jerseys we have now
I was fooling around with the old font on the current jerseys a few days ago but I never posted the pics: But I still like these the best: I like the old font, too. It's part of the Rocket's identity. The Lakers have a certain font that they always use which is just as iconic as the word "Lakers"... the font is part of that identity. Same with the Celtics.
Great job with these. Probably my favorites of all the ones I've seen proposed on this board. I'm curious to see how the red ones would look like with red piping and yellow/white on the trim to make it more subtle. The homes look good, but I'd also like to see how they'd look with white piping and red/yellow on the trim.
