    Something substantial. Something that doesn't feel like it's from a suburban pawn shop. Something with history. Something like this...

    Seeing the jersey dangling on a hanger, tossed on the floor, a CHICK in a dress sized version twirling around in it -- NOT the best way for a good first impression.

    Need to have a basketball playing athlete wearing the jersey to debut it. As of now its just a regular third jersey that coulda been made when the current unis were. Almost EXACTLY what I thought they'd do, though it expected less yellow

    *Edit* as type that I get the players wearing jersey pics
    Opinion - I dont mind them that much. Why in the heck are the letters white and numbers still yellow? :confused: Rockets designers dont believe in symmetry at all! I give them a 6.0 on a 10 scale. Cuz I'll enjoy seeing yellow again

    Don't know why there is so much pissing and moaning, they looked like an updated version of the retro unis for a few years ago.

    Don't bother me and I don't love them.

    (predictable "I'm happy for the new unis, I'ma let you finish but the championship unis were the Rockets unis of all time!" response)

    Thanks for the pics, bushwickbillyd!

    Lets just admit that we made a mistake by switching from the championship jerseys and go back.

    Philly did it, we can too.

    I don't have a problem with the new jerseys, but I think that a black and red one would really look good. I heard that the nba wouldn't allow that though, do yall know why?

    One of these is what i was hoping for. The new alternates don't look that bad, I just don't like the font on the front...funny McDonald's references though lol

    Does anyone have the designs *before* the real current uniforms were released? I recall there were some pretty decent designs that ClutchFan posters had come up withbefore the official ones were unveiled.
