The Wizards went with the retro unis... so why can't the Rockets go back? Bring back the classic Clutch City uniforms! Would there be ONE complaint from a Rocket fan? I still can't believe a team would change uniforms after winning 2 championships. It wasn't even like they were dated. Please bring back Red and Yellow, Les!
Plenty of nice looks in this thread http://bbs.clutchfans.net/showthread.php?t=199523&highlight=rockets+uniform and this thread http://bbs.clutchfans.net/showthread.php?t=201625&highlight=rockets+logo
^ Wizards are the Bullets in everything but name. My roommate is from DC and he's stoked about it. Great idea OP. Unoriginal, but great nonetheless. We want our retros back.
It might be that the organization keeps those colors to go with the Toyota logo. At least it seems that way to me. Unless Toyota changes colors, I don't thinkt he jerseys will be changed any time soon. But if someone knows why they keep those jerseys like that, let us know!
When I was a kid, I asked my mother for a Grant Hill jersey (Pistons in blue) what I got was a red Bullets friggin Michael Adams jersey instead, I almost cried. Apparently the pain was big enough that I had to come here and vent 15 years later.
I thought this would be another thread about firing coaches. But yeah, he screwed up. Those pajama unis plunged the team into the dark ages.
It's all about the corporate link you alluded to and of course the Chinese Connection....what a sellout. C'mon Les, bring back the red and yellow - Let's rebuild and at the same time start getting our identity back.
Nowhere near. She probably got all confused in the store and asked for a NBA jersey, I assume they ran to the darkest corner of their warehouse and got the one Jersey they thought they would never sell.
LOL - they were wearing those since 1971 - that's why they had that dumb 60's/70's era font with the lowercase e and t.... Trust me if anything was dated, it was the crimson and mustard. Probably the most overrated thing on this BBS aside from Vernon Maxwell.
Why does everyone hate on the current jersey? I understand the stupid navy one but this one is not bad.
Agreed. The replacements unfortunately have all been far worse and that is why we are still talking about them. Get a real designer to design them this time.
Actually, I remember quite a few fans complaining about the "mustard and ketchup" jerseys. A great many fans were looking forward to new uniforms. That is, until they unveiled the new uniforms and they were those hideous clown pajamas. It's only been in the years since we have now repeatedly failed to produce a better jersey that people seem to unanimously clamor for the old jerseys.
I'd be happy if they made the ketchup/mustard alternates the real jerseys. I still remember the very place I was standing when I saw the article about them ditching the championship uniforms for that godawful space shark.
The jerseys are simple and tasteful. Nobody complains about the Yankees, Steelers, and Celtics jerseys being old or outdated. Change the font, if you want, but leave the style and color.
That's because they incorporated a classic look that is regarded as such because it's been around for nearly 100 years and incorporated by many others, not ugly late 60's design which doesn't really have as much history.
