    *Bump*

    K, I think the best way I've seen to describe the logo is simple, yet modern, original, and classy.

    But on another note that's probably been brought up a few times, this logo probably means that ClutchCity.net's aesthetics are going to see an overhaul sometime soon. Anyone know when that'll be? I guess probably not until the unis are released...

    This logo (although not perfect) is a vast improvement upon the previous design. It is clean, simple and effective. The true test will be when it is placed on various forms of collateral and memorobilia. I thank the Rockets organization for putting in the effort for the fans.

    Yeah but Cowboys and Packers are all football teams...Nike is a shoe company...both traditions are very different from NBA logos, they are simple emblems to be slapped on a helmet or a shoe. Same thing with the yankees NY, that's more a secondary logo to put on a hat or on the uniform...their real primary logo is busier, with the uncle sam hat, the baseball bat, the baseball, and the word yankees across it...

    Can you imagine making a logo for a team today as simple as the Cowboy's star? Or the Packers' G? (then you'd wind up with something as drab as the Supersonics current logo...)

    these simple things are great for hats and things as secondary logos, but they don't have enough substance for a primary logo.

    I absolutely love the new Rocket's logo. I love the color. I love the ring. I love the fact that it's simple and clean. I love how the rocket is subdued and doesn't immediately jump out at you. I love the font for the 'R' and I love the dripping blood trails.

    This logo is the best I could have hoped for. Well done.

    funny how all the newbies hate the logo, but long time posters like it.

    For all I know newbies could be trolls from other teams just trying to start an arguement.

    I can't get over how much different / better it looks on merchandise. Someone in my office has a cap and it looks great and I was watching that show on MTV (Who Got Game) with the one guy who has the shirt, and again, it looks great. A lot of people have said that they don't like the fact that it doesn't immediately say "Rockets" in any recognizeable way. That's one of the reasons I like it - it is like a mystery to someone who doesn't know what it is.

    I don't know if anyone has mentioned this, but it doesn't totally ignore the "Houston" aspect -- if you look at the way the orbital ring crosses the tails of the R, you see an "H."

    Maybe I'm looking too hard at it.

    Hey there's worse logo's out there. Although maybe more colors or gradient would have been better.

    See? The logo could have been much worse.

    The black shirt on "Who Got Game" tonight looked pretty cool. (at least I think it was black. My TV's color has been really jacked up lately)
    Was anyone else rooting for Nick just because he was wearing our stuff?

    You talking about this jersey? It's a retro U of H jersey with "Akeem" on the back. I want one, probably more than I can afford though...
