    Does such a thing exist? I've been wearing my Astros hat around, but my first love is the Rockets.

    I've been scouring malls and websites in search of anything remotely wearable for days now, and it's been somewhat short of fruitful. Anybody have link/pictures/suggestions of any kind as to where I can find a decent Rockets hat to wear?

    Have you looked on Lids? There's less than nothing decent. The only hat they have with the new logo isn't even fitted.

    That's just awful...

    Forget the Rockets for now. Get down to Academy and get one of the cool Super Bowl XXXVIII caps. Represent your city.

    I thought the logo sucked when it first came out but it looks great on the caps.

    1. I will not forget the Rockets.
    2. They don't have Academy in Maryland, where I am currently vacationing, or Utah, where I currently reside.
    3. I'm trying desperately to represent my city. Hence the (as yet fruitless) search for a decent hat.

    So far this is the frontrunner:

    But I still hate it. Why can't they get rid of the ridiculous pinwill and just make it solid black with a red rim?

    Actually I agree. I've found that style as well, and I like it, but I really want a fitted version, not a velcro. I'm also more partial to black hats rather than white, but that's strictly a personal decision.

    Why aren't those available as fitted hats?

    (sorry about the pictures, the servers is being moody... working on it)

    This is the white one we're talking about. I like it, but it should be fitted. Velcro is so tacky. I wish it came in black. :(

    This isn't even the Rockets current logo on the right, and it's a poor representation of the last one! By the way, in case anyone is curious, this is the hat that most Lids stores cover that I've been to in 4 different states...

    Yeah. I've seen that black one as well. I guess I'm an elitest. I should just settle and buy the velcro black one.

    The reason I keep looking is that I did find a hat here in Maryland that was fitted, black on the back, white on the front, and red on the rim. It was a good hat but no place had it in my size.

    But I haven't been able to find that hat anywhere online, so I guess I was hoping that there were other hats out there that I just haven't seen yet.

    For instance, the strait red hat with the white logo that broke the logo story... I haven't seen that one anywhere online or in stores, either.

    I just have to think that this is more bungled marketing by the Rockets. Several places I went to didn't know the Rockets even had a new logo...

    Wierd...
