    Like the concept, but you cannot use the same font I guess. The tilted look is better and keeping clutch city together just makes sense..

    Those are beautiful. Shame we get the sleeved abominations. I disagree with Feigen's tweet this afternoon that the lowercase "t" is a nice touch... it would be cool, but it just doesn't work when it isn't italicized, and when it's right next to a capital C that looks the same.

    Even Feigen says fans will like these "except for the sleeves"


    So everyone and their mother knew this ahead of time, but hey, let's STILL PUT SLEEVES ON THEM!

    And unless the NBA has a limit on sleeved jerseys, what's the point of taking the sleeves off the Lunar Year jersey? It's like they're drawing options out of a hat.

    Reminds me of an actual rocket ship. But I hate using colors outside of the team's official colors.

    Rockets trying to appeal to the NASCAR crowd?

    We knew they were going to be silver / grey, although they have been used for christmas jerseys before. Just downright ugly, any attempt with grey as main is just stupid and will never be appealing to wear. Ughhh :mad:

    I think that looks pretty sweet.

    And those colors (even black) are actually part of the official colors.

    I like that they're taking design cues from literal rockets. Pretty cool idea. And I like owning the Space City connection. Can't wait to see them on fabric.

    A lot of teams are allowed to go with black, why don't we?? This would've been an awesome opportunity to go with black and red with some touches of white and or silver!!! :mad:

    I'm guessing it was inspired by NASA's Saturn V Rocket from the Apollo missions:

    Damn, that's pretty bad actually, clutch city italicized together like the previous red/gold alternates would've made more sense. Sometimes you have to stick with what works, but everybody thinks what they do is revolutionary and unique..

    i kind of like the black/grey alternates...i have a feeling they'll look better tonight. They might be a hit with more fans because the colors don't stand out as much as K & M...which may mean a good number of sales.
