Well ****. Doc says so much by saying so little.... Does anyone else feel disrespected by this as a Houstonian?? For crying out loud they're the g*ddamn HOUSTON ROCKETS. Maybe this is just my knee-jerk reaction, but if we're selling the city short to appeal to an international (read: Chinese) fan base of Yao-only lovers, then SHAME ON YOU LESLIE ALEXANDER. If this is the case, then I'm offended. As a Houstonian and as a Houston Rockets fan.
I guess if this uniform thing doesn't work out... the Power Dancers are going to have to cheer raw nekked. :ugh2:
I, for one, don't give a hoot about the uni's, just 'what' fills them. The present Rox uni's need to be celebratorily burnt (along with some of the shmoes 'what filled them').
I'm offended as a Houstonian as well. I mean, ****, Yankees bandwagoners have no problem sporting their stupid "NY" caps everywhere. As for the Cavs jerseys... yuck. Those scream college. Then again, I'm a huge fan of the pjs...
hmmmm like I asked, don't other sports with international appeal (like the NHL, soccer) have emblems rather than city names? I guess it is starting to make sense. But I still disagree. It should spell out the city.
i like the idea of an H emblem. i don't know about you guys, but i refer to the city of houston as "the h" anyway... my question is: don't the new orleans hornets have an "h" symbol already? i think i've seen it on hats. i guess that would make ours an "r"...
i dont think anyone has suggested tassels yet. perhaps there are tassels. or maybe The Cell lady designed us uniforms with hats. now that would be something.
