    I still don't get the "H-town" thing. Nobody ever said that when I was a young man and even now, I only hear it sarcastically--as in buddy pretending to be slimy Hollywood agent: "Hey, let's do lunch in H-town sometime." It's the same number of syllables as Houston. With the dash, it's only one character shorter than Houston. It's unoriginal, a cliched derivative. Houston has other, more original, nicknames besides Space City and the pedestrian H-town that would be cool to base an occasional uniform on: Bayou City, Clutch City, Mutt City, Energy Capital, and Big Heart. A Dream-based uniform has potential too. Point is, they had options and made a very plain, bland choice. This uniform is the UK food of the basketball world.

    Well, I don't know when you were a young man, but there was the group H-Town in the early 90s. The "ton" means "town" in a lot of city names. From what I understand, the etymology of the word directs to its literal meaning being "Hugh's Town".

    Jargon/language changes over time. There are a lot of things back in the 80s I used to laugh at that people in the 40's and 50's used to say. They all talked weird!

    It looks like someone took a mouse and clicked and dragged the H-Town logo on a generic Photoshop jersey. :D
