Ok, I am a moron for putting ROCKEtS when I ment HOUStON. I am not sure where my mind was at! LOL

Nevertheless, Perhaps the "H" is uppercase and the rest of the lettering is lowercase, but it doesn't look that way because of the block lettering. They need to make the "H" a bit bigger if that is the case. I think the typeface in general isn't very good and that's why the "t" is really set off like that. Just a little gripe.

I saw some retro jerseys at the Sports Locker in Almeda mall.

They don't have any numbers or names on them, just the old colors and the old logo.. still looked spiffy tho.

 

YUCK

no more blue please!

 

I would not mind that. I like the dark blue color our jerseys have now. I wouldn't mind red being brought back into it as well.

The only think I DO know however is NO MUSTARD YELLOW! Whatever new jerseys we eventually get I just hope that RED+YELLOW McDonalds colors are not used.

Our old jerseys are pretty boring whereas the current ones are too over the top. We need a nice compromise and meet in the middle. I like what Dallas and Sacramento did with their new uniforms. The styles and colors are clean and crisp and easy on the eyes but the typeface is nice a modern. I hope the new Rockets unis are in the same vein.

Anyone know if they had any Dream jersey's out?

 

wow. Looks like a cool game. The good old retro Jerseys.
I hate that mustard yellow, but the plain jerseys are the best...not the jersey that we have now where they tried to fit everything on one uniform.

going to rocks games next week. woohoo.

 

RM and DD

I may be going to Saturday's game also. and may be able to hook yall up.

 

Sweet. Lemme know.

 

Will the retro jerseys be available at Compaq Center this weekend?

Will the Rockets wear retros vs. Phoenix on Sunday?

 

How much do you think those Francis jerseys would cost?

Do you think I could buy them online?

Also, if not, can anyone do me a favour and send me one and I'll pay you somehow? or whatever's legal?

 

Question for Tim (or for anyone who knows):

I need clarification on WHICH retro unis the Rockets will be wearing:
Red/Away with Houston on the front as we see above or White/Home Retros with Rockets on the front?

I hope its the former....

 

Also on the promotional schedule they are giving away HW Classic T-shirt. sweet looking forwatd to it.

 

The last we heard from FMI was that they had decided not to stock the retro jerseys at the Compaq Center store. I personally wish they'd stock them, but it's their decision, not ours.

We have heard from several people that the retro jerseys are available at retail at a number of different locations around town.

We can call Reebok for a list of retailers -- in the meantime, anybody want to chime in with some locations?

Tim

 

Thats what I heard also. When i went to the SA game, they said that they were not going to stock them. Going to check around this weekend for them at the malls. They must be on sale already cause I see fans in the stands wearing them already.

BTW, Tim, are they going to wear retro on Sunday? On the telecast last night, they mentioned the Magic Game but not the Suns game, so I was curious.

Oh yea, Happy Bday Tim.

 

this logo was created in the 70's... that reason alone should be enough to explain the typeface.

think 70's

besides we won 2 championships with those jerseys... what difference should it make?

 

Will check out the mall today. I need new gear for Friday night.

Lynus302, I believe the Rockets will wear the road Red uniforms.

 

I wants me a Francis Retro jersey


Although, if they're not through the roof, maybe I'd get a Boki one too...although I doubt they'd be available.






Also...Anyone have any idea what the new uni's for next year will look like? I was going to look but digging through all the pages would take years and this forum doesn't appear to have a working search feature.
