The picture he posted is the same pokemon picture that has been posted. No real uniform pictures here.
I find this hard to believe. Remeber Tim saying the unis were rejected because the design would be a bit too difficult to mass produce, and they were "a little" more complicated than the Cavs new duds? This doesnt sound more complicated at all. *crossing fingers*
I REALLY hope this is not the design! Big "R" on the front and "Houston" on the back were the players names normally goes? STUPID! Cutting edge is one thing but this sounds like total crap to me. I hope this information is false. Having "Houston" on the back along with the number AND the players name is just TOO much info on the back and of course this does jive with what was said about the Rockets doing something against NBA regulations as ALL teams in the NBA have the players names at the top. People can say what they want to about the new Cavs uniforms being boring or pedestrian but at least they weren't UGLY! I will take pedestian over UGLY any time! Please Rockets, don't screw this up!
What if Alan Houston came here to play... that would really screw things up. Keep the names where they belong, put the word "Houston" on the front, and no big Capital letters. I fear for the franchise I love. I want something that looks a lot like the championship unis. I feel like English nobility living during Cromwell's reign... When will we stop this madness and put things the way they ought to be?
I don't think a big "R" would look that bad on the front of a Rockets jersey. Of course, it won't just be a boring R like in the first picture. I have confidence that the design will be cool...
If they decide on the big RuffRyder "R" then it had better not be a big stiff patch like the current uni. It would need to be something flexible. Not only are the current PJs ugly to look at but they also seem uncomfortable to wear. At least we'd get a cool intro song X Gon' Give It To You First we gonna...... Then we gonna......
Ok. Here are some revolutionary ideas. What if the uniform changes colors with increased water content (ie sweat). Then we could go retro for one half and jammy time the next. Or, you could achieve a color changing affect using the stadium lighting. Simply change the angle of the light hitting the jersey and you could create the illusion of color change to the audience. ok. I'm done dreaming for now.
First we gonna........ROCK! Then we gonna..........ROLL! Then we let it..........POP! DONT LET IT GO!!! and please lose the f*ckin bear. If the guy is so great then just give him a new costume. Is that sooooo difficult?
HEY thats not a bad idea... like the Quiksilver board shorts when they get wet.. them wet prints.. that would be tight!
Heh. Not to nitpick, but our new uni designs were never rejected by the league. But the spirit of what Gummi says is right; it's just taking us a little longer to work through final alterations with the manufacturer because we didn't want to go with a "standard" design like Cleveland. (By the way, I like that Cleveland has gone back to colors that have some meaning for their fans -- teal/powder blue never seemed a good fit there.) Tim
