    Lid on new Rockets jersey might be blown in Taiwan

    Cybersleuths were back at work Tuesday, uncovering what they believe to be the first hints at the design of the Rockets' new uniforms.

    In a picture posted at the NBA's Taiwanese Web site, http://****************, fans can get a tantalizing look at what appears to be the team's new red and white road uniforms, modeled by Cuttino Mobley.

    Amare Stoudamire of the Suns and Jalen Rose of the Bulls share the picture, part of the NBA's promotional campaign for the new season, with Mobley. But Rockets fans have eyes only for Mobley -- at least, what they can see of the new uniform he's wearing.

    Mobley is shown sitting in an office cubicle, and only the side view of the jersey is visible.

    Still, it was enough to put the Rockets, who within the last week have rolled out a new logo and a new naming rights partner for the new downtown arena, back in clarification mode as the photo drew comments from fans.

    "It's not the final version of the uniform," said team spokesman Nelson Luis. "There are some similarities, but the one you see there is one or two generations away from what we expect for the final model."

    The color scheme, however, "looks relatively close on the mark," he added.
