    i was just curious why the pinstripes on the rockets jersey dont go fully straight on the jersey.
    If you have seen the jersey you know what im talking about.
    They go straaight for about 8 inches then move a couple millimetres to the right for some reason.
    thanks

    Because whoever designed them was obviously on crack, so he couldn't draw the pinstripes straight...

    Because then they would only be real real ugly. As it stands now, they are real real real ugly.

    sigh... all of you should know this. lemme 'splain...

    do you know how when you get a new printer for your computer and it prints out a test page. on that test page you have to tell the computer which lines from 1-10 are straight. that's what the uniform designer was trying to accomplish.

    now you may be wondering how all of this ties into the rockets. well you see, the rockets played at compaq center which makes printers. SEE!!!

    do you think that there's any coincidence that the rockets will no longer be playing at compaq center and at the same time ditching the compaq printer test page uniforms? no.

    it was all planned. duh! :p

    See and I thought it was because they really liked the 80's arcade game Defender.

    hmmm... highly unlikely. moochie wouldn't have been able to wear a uniform based off of anything named "defender".

    The 97 Chicago Bulls had the best looking pinstripes in basketball.

    I am talking about the third road jersey. The Black one with gold stripes.

    And the other problem is that they aren't even "pin" stripes. They are magic-marker stripes!

    Or, should I have said, "Sharpie?" :)
