The new uniforms have really grown on me. They are distinctive and stand out without being obnoxious. I cringe everytime I see Yao's rookie year highlights in the pajamas.
They beat the hell out of the pinstriped Jetson's suits. Those things were about as tasteful as a Star Trek Convention in Las Vegas.
They're a huge improvement. Not what I would have picked, but vastly better than the PJ's. I still wish the numbers on the front were easier to read, but I guess I'm getting used to it. Thumbs up. edit: hey, "grown on me" would have been my choice as well.
Other than the letters being too small and the road jerseys saying "Rockets" instead of "Houston", I've got no complaints. They're exactly what was needed after eight seasons in those cursed blue pajamas.
I don't think there was as much backlash about the jerseys as opposed to the logo. Regardless, I'm happy with both.
I saw these basketball shorts by the Rockets jerseys the other day. The shorts were red with black and grey on the side. They looked really sweet...I really hope the Rockets mix in some black with the color scheme in the future..
I've always liked the unis. Bright, bold and not too fancy. The logo is the thing that has really grown on me. It looks great on the side of the uni shorts and on baseball hats. I REALLy started to like it when I was at a game and the video screens kept showing this screensaver like thing where a ball on fire flys by and the smoke creates the "R" logo. Sweet! P.S. We have THE best looking dancers in the league. Hands down! And their unis make them look that much better.
Don't like the cut off the jersey and "Rockets" on the front is still too damn small, overall it's ok.
I still dont like the size of the numbers....sometimes it is hard to tell the 3 and the 5 apart on a small tv screen. I love love love the road unis...the Rockets Red is simply awesome looking. Not so much on the white...especiaklly with the light colored wood of the floor...it doesnt look so good on my tv...I imagine it might look better live..Ill find out soon when I actually get to go see a game. The Powerdancers unis look awwesome also...skimpy and classy all at the same time. They make even the plain looking dancers look pretty good. I liked the unis from the start...but I have actually grown to love em now.
Hey, this is trademark infringement. I love the uniforms but I still hate the logo ("dripping blood" look or even "heron with a dead fish dripping water" look).
