    From the first post, all he says is the LOGO is plain, not the uni's.

    No, what cat said was that at first glance the logo is plain for a franchise with a new arena, but he said the jerseys are an improvement. So he was nervous I guess by the logo itself, but after seeing the jersey he had the same reaction as most of us, the logo may suck at first but the uni's look cool.

    Chris Wragge also showed the website that we are not supposed to mention on this site, and he showed a blurred picture on live tv for all of Houston to see. He was even making fun of the fact that no one is supposed to be seeing this but who the hell cares was his attitude.

    I e-mailed the guy yesterday thinking he could do a segment for the Sports Sunday show, but today at 6pm will work.

    Cuttino needs to worry more about the upcoming season rather than a uniform. IMO the Lakers have the ugliest uni's in the league but they have 3 championships in the past 4years.

    off topic

    Apparently, were not the only site that has them now. Fanhome.com's sports logo section has them and it looks like it will spread like wild fire from there judging from this post by user by "NYCdog" below.

    Fans of the free internet world

    This is your chance to make a difference. The NBA and the Houston Rockets are apparently trying to get this photo off the net as soon as possible. They are already trying to get it off of Clutchcity.net, a Rockets fan site that broke the story according to Rockets VP of marketing Tim McDougall, who is trying to do damage control. But according to Tim, if there is too much damage done, they will be FORCED TO UNVEIL THE UNI'S MUCH SOONER THEN EXPECTED.

    GET THIS PHOTO OUT TO EVERY OUTLET POSSIBLE.

    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    I have found this post in THREE different locations on the site. And since then I have noticed that the pics have popped up at various other sites ranging from Dallas-mavs.com to niketalk.com to *********************.

    So if the NBA is going to try and bully CC.net around to get the photos off the net, they now have there work cut out for them. Cuz now we dont have them, but a whole of of other sites do and its spreading. Clutch, maybe you can use this as leverage to get them off of your back. Just a suggestion. Good luck

    I do not see the big deal myself, it looks like a high school jersey.
    I just dread it when the comets new uni's leak out, i bet they will look better.

    I have no earthly idea where he got this info

    And I have not seen or heard from Tim AT ALL during this situation, if I'm correct on that.

    I'm just passing word along, that's all

    Not that I want to wait till September, but I honestly don't see why they'd have to push up the release date of the new unis just because a pic that partially shows the side of the new unis got leaked out. It's just enough to salivate over, but not nearly enough to get a good overall feel of how they look. What's the big friggin deal anywze. Just give us some table scraps till the main meal comes.

    anyway this is who i contacted and actually got conformation they received by pictures.

    ABC 13 - told me if the picture had been of Cuttino in the front it would have hit the air

    ESPN - confirmed they received it

    Channel 2 - said they were forwarding the picture i sent to the executive producers

    Channel 11 - conformed they received it

    emailed 740 and 610, got no response. also sent it to Rich and Charlie.

    I tried to cover all of them. This was soon after clutch had to remove the picture

    Actually, you should have a good idea if you have been paying close attention. Just look at the Power Dancers uniform designs and you will see pieces of the Rocket uniform. For example


    Design 1 has the funny lookin silver triangle shape on the shorts I elluded to in sway's thread. These will be on the shorts and are supposed to be a silhouette of a rocket's nose cone. The Rockets "R" logo can be found on the inside of the nose cone. If you look at the photo of Cat, you can see the peak of the nose cone sillhouette on the shorts. The neck line is also featured.

    [​IMG]

    Design 7 has the silver elliptical rings you will see around players arms on the jersey. Basicly, the entire left side of this design closely resemble the sides of the new uniform. They wont be this big however. And no skin showing thank god

    [​IMG]

    Those are the basic design elements to the uniform. Put them together and you have the final product.
