    Those shorts look awesome! But the price is OUTRAGEOUS!

    They really need to make "replica" shorts that cost closer to the replica jerseys which sell for $45. Still a high price but not over $100!

    Tim, is there any chance that replica shorts will be made? Or how about Rockets mesh "practice" shorts?

    1. The lineup of items isn't complete. We'll most likely be adding as we go. Some of the items from the physical store aren't on-line because our inventories are low. We'll try to avoid inventory problems, but the physical store will take priority while we're in season.

    2. I'll have to check on international shipping options. We may not have that active yet, although I think we plan on getting there. (One of the reasons this is a soft, test launch of the site.)

    3. Shorts. It's always the shorts. :p

    4. Internship opportunities can be found at the rockets.com website or at the houstontoyotacenter.com site.

    Very nice. Don't forget black leather jackets. The red "R" on the black is going to look sweet.

    :confused: Not sure what that means.

    But if it means you guys are getting more shorts in, as mentioned in my previous post, than I am all for it!

    As an out of towner, I have to say I'm pretty disappointed with the selection of Rockets merchandise since the unveiling. I've yet to buy any because I can't find any I like.

    I mean even at the NBA shop or Rocketshop.com there's hardly the basic selection of hats. For instance, I'm pretty sure there's a red hat with just the logo. There's a black one too. Are they on either website, NO.

    Also, why aren't the t-shirts available in multiple colors? Some of us would prefer a shirt in white, grey, black, or white instead of just one of those colors. Maybe they have those at the local sporting goods store but they sure aren't on the websites.

    Personally I don't feel the Rockets and the NBA are doing a good job marketing outside of Houston. Maybe they're doing a poor job in Houston too, I don't know. From what I can tell there are about 6 shirts and 6 hats in the 7 months since the unveiling. Not impressive.
