    That's the best jersey in Rockets history in my opinion. If we could just fix the type font it would be perfect.

    And for home make it white with red sides. That's it. Why can't we use these as our uniforms? Would be freaking awesome

    BSPN hates us because we got Dwight

    I'd rather have the 20th best unis with a 1st to 4th place WC record than the best unis with the last place record :)

    Suns at 11? No way.

    Why do people complain about the Pelicans having "New Orleans" on both jerseys? The Knicks do it. The Nets do it. Even in baseball, the Texas Rangers have "Texas" on both jerseys. So it isn't unheard of.

    Clippers at 26?

    And one thing I hate about their rankings is that they praise the Celtics for their simplistic uniform which makes for a timeless design. But then they rip the Sixers and Cavs because it is too boring. Wtf? He even admits that he would rank the Sixers really high if they had worn their uniforms for 30 years.

    So uniforms improve just because a team wore them for a long time? Wtf kind of stupid logic is that?

    Because they become a staple or they correlate with something that happened.

    I thought the clippers would be first... Maybe I'm a little more patriotic than the average person though

    For sure, they have some of the best jerseys in the league. The Rockets should follow in their and the Warriors footsteps and get a new retro inspired jersey.

    Doesn't make them good.

    It's stupid logic to say the same exact jersey is boring now, but after a team wears them for 30 years they automatically become good.

    Makes absolutely no sense.

    "It looks absurd, so the Warriors have dropped a bit in the rankings" hardly sounds like "they thought they were cool" to me, just like "that sleeved jersey would actually look pretty good if not for the pinstriped shorts" hardly sounds like they loved the sleeves, no? :)

    Hey! I have an opinion too! ESPN ranked dead last in journalism! It's official now. The poll has been cast. Quick, everyone, get up in arms if you disagree!

    Also, best tasting fruits poll has now been made official!

    1. Green Apples
    2. Green Grapes
    3. Purple Grapes
    4. Bananas
    5. Watermelon
    6. Red Apples
    7. Kiwi
    8. Cantaloupe
    9. Melon
    10. Orange
    11. Tangerine
    12. Mango
    13. Pineapple
    14. Pears
    15. Strawberry


    WTF!!! Pineapple is in 13th place!!??? Agghhh!! I disagree!!! It should DEFINITELY be in 11th place ahead of tangerine and mango!! I'm mad! :mad:

    P.S. - (Shhhh - dont tell anyone) The poll above was made up by me and doesn't even really reflect my opinion. I do hope that it causes a lot of fuss though and gets me lots of attention. I bet it works.

    Some of you dudes need to chill out, it's just a ranking.

    Normally these things are entirely for page hits, but Paul Lukas knows his stuff and makes it interesting. Take a look at his past columns, he has an almost encyclopedic knowledge about this stuff. No doubt he may over analyze and have strong opinions about certain details (neck rolls? who gives a sh**). Still is a lot of fun having someone put together all of the minuscule changes for your entertainment.

    Hey, it's summer. People suppose be horny

    Need to go back to the old ones, c. 1993 - or come up with some new ones.

    Don't like the current ones very much. Hated the blue ones, tho.
