    So I'm checking both Eastbay and http://starter.com/nba/ and no Houston Rockets version? I mean how weak of a fan base do we have to be that we can't get a company like Starter to create a Houston Rockets Jacket?

    I haven't spotted any on online stores but saw the satin Rockets Starter jacket at the store Fanzz yesterday in the First Colony Mall for $170. Fanzz carries a lot of Rockets apparel I don't see online or in any other store.

    Nice jacket and all, love the satin feel, but if you're going to shell out that much for a jacket, I say go vintage and get this one. Always one or two on eBay ranging from $50-$150. I just got mine a couple months ago and love it.

    That retro one with the yellow looks pretty sick.

    Saw this satin Starter jacket (black version of the red one I posted above) on sale at Sports Authority for $99.99. Originally $150. Haven't seen it online anywhere. Sports Authority has the worst Rockets merchandise selection, but they finally carry a winner with this one.

    $150 is way too much, so on sale at $100 is a bit more reasonable. It's not the 90's. People don't kill people for Starter jackets anymore.

    They don't kill people for them because Starter has been a Wal-Mart brand the last few years....but now that they're back selling more expensive apparel, who knows what will happen?

    That being said, I wouldn't buy anything too expensive from them, until i know their quality is back to those standards.

    I guess their big jackets are back too, hadn't seen these new ones:

    No Starter crap for me, Nike bro. Girlfriend ordered this for me a few months ago.

    Wonder if that will replace the "Gonna get shot for your starter jacket" jacket.
