    I like it... Unique and bold.

    They're only going to wear it four times in February, so technically not an alternate jersey.

    This reminds me of the All-Star jerseys from a couple of years ago where the jerseys were different front and back.

    I like the designs of their regular jerseys. May have gone a little bit too far with these alternates. At least they reflect the city however and that is good.

    It says "we may be going to the lottery, but we sure will look like we're completely drunk and color blind while we do it!"

    I think it captures the look they were going for.

    Approved, especially the paisley. But would really rather see "Orleans" or "Big Easy" than "NOLA."

    I think they took two really good jerseys and made them into one; I just can't see two tone jerseys ever looking good on TV. I think the view of Darren Collison posted is as good as purple will ever look; and if they had kept the green only on the shorts side panels, that is a killer look.

    Not a huge fan of NOLA either, but if it's part of the local slang, then more power to them. Most fans outside of Houston would think the Rockets would be crazy for putting "Clutch City" on a jersey, but we'd understand.

    I want these jerseys to succeed, but I really do fear that if they work, we may be treated to an avalanche of two-tones in the near future, and all hell will break loose.

    I like the different color front and back, but the number should be the same. :grin: :p
