    doesn't mean they can't sell it, Adidas apparently made one to sell to add to their collection of jerseys for everybody to buy, saw this at Champs before coming to work today

    Dave C. (Rocketeer) should get some royalties from Adidas :) but I think his concept was better since the whole lettering was red not outlined, and no red whatsoever on the rings on the side

    fwiw, they are selling the swingman alternates at Champs also, I was under the impression it was "exclusive" to the Rockets Shop, but apparently not

    Sure they could sell green jerseys on St. Patrick's day too.

    I'm not going to knock them for wanting to make buck off of alternate jerseys but personally I am not a fan of a ton of alternate jerseys and am glad that the Rockets never jumped on the trend of having black alternate jerseys.

    Adidas is the official provider of NBA jerseys, not his or any players choice

    It looks like I'll be stopping by a Champs today... Not so much for the black jersey, but for an alternate swingman and that black jacket on the left.

    Would have been 10x better with red numbers and letters instead of just an outline. It looks very knockoffish

    The fascination around here with black jerseys is kinda weird.

    Thanks to the OP for passing along the info, but I'm just not into it I guess.
