    like many others, i think our current jerseys are awful, but defintely not as bad as the pajamas. our best jerseys were the red and yellow ones with the Houston logo on the front. they had an old western look and just looked SLICK. even Barkley gave complements to our jerseys when we were on TNT.

    How many times are we going to have this discussion? I actually love our jerseys. The only changes I would make would be to have the away jerseys say "Houston" and to have black & red alternates.

    The jersey is OK, but it definitely looks better in black and red - screw San Antonio.

    I love our logo and color scheme, but the font and the wide straps need to change. If some of you think we have ugly jerseys, try looking at the Timberwolves or any team with multi-colored trim.

    I honestly liked our current jerseys at first because I thought they were a major upgrade compared to the blue pinstripes, but in all fairness, I don't think we can be taken seriously in these.

    Look at the Lakers. The Celtics. The Knicks. Legendary franchises with classic jerseys which have changed very slightly through the years. Rockets need to go back to the '72-'95 jerseys or at least a close variation, get the old logo back

    Seriously, which genius decided to change it up after two back to back rings? I'm not superstitious but... man...

    The red and gold was legit. We need to get legit.

    Who's with me?

    better love what we've got, instead of trying to get what we love, because, hey, the number of the fans is huge, and seems everyone's got his own type.

    I don't like the cut of the jerseys.

    The entire shoulder area is whack. Way too wide, especially for that material.

    If you are going to have a wide cut, the material has to be much softer and thinner.

    I would change the material and the cut of the shoulder areas.

    ive said it before and ill say it again: the jerseys look more than fine except for the SHOULDER CUT. make it thinner and it'll be all good.

    I win.

    Take the concept of the Denver Rockets from the ABA (a Rocket lifting up the side of the uniform, blended with the shorts):

    Combine it with this awesome Pacers jersey:

    And there's our uniform. Awesome. ABA rules. Too bad it was gone before I was born.

    Our jerseys are awesome, we just need alternates now. Cleveland had new jerseys and uniforms a year AFTER we changed ours and they have 4 different ones now. Why do we still only have two?
    We can continue to wear our new uniforms that look great and still wear throwbacks to show off our classic look every now and then. Like having your cake and eating it too! :)
    I can't believe how many people don't like these uniforms?! Original, creative and has that dark feel to it. Perfect! We are the Oakland Raiders of the NBA, might as well have a bad a$$ logo and uni's and run with it.

    Bleeding R, Astros star and just the baddest NFL logo ever seen! Houston we don't have a problem with logo's and uni's. Let's just worry about gettin some rings now!

    I don't mind our new jerseys that much, as long as our main color stays red I'm fine with the current design. 3 things I would change if I could:

    1. Have it read "HOUSTON" on the front, instead of "ROCKETS"

    2. Keep the fonts consistant. Right now we have 3 different fonts going on, one for the "ROCKETS," one for the last name, and one for the jersey number. :confused:

    3. Black with red trim alternates, same design. :cool:

    I like the colors, red and grey/white, but the pitch fork logo is just not very well thought out. I remember being at the Astros game when they announced the new logo and showed it on the jumbotron... everyone at Minute Maid booed the heck out of it. It was pretty funny. :D

    Ultimately, the font is too unusual to have a very long shelf life, unlike the celtics, bulls, lakers, etc. I wouldn't doubt it if it changed soon...

    Agreed. Roll out the black alternate (that looks like the one posted above) and our uniform collection is great. I wouldn't mind two alternates, actually, a black one and something else...maybe silver with the red stripes...would like to see how the mustard yellow would look just once, but I imagine pretty ugly.
