    I've notice from watching from the tube that jerseys (away) the color looks more dull than usually. It is not shiny. Did they change the material? Note I haven't been keeping up for awhile so I might have messed the memo.

    Yup, new material made by Adidas...supposed to be lighter and more high performance.

    Exactly...every time I see those I think it's the swap meet version of the real thing.

    It looks like a cheap knock-off.

    The gray looks more gray. Before, it almost looked white.

    Is there a way the rockets can go back to the shiny material?

    The cut is so ugly. All of our guys look so skinny with the jerseys we have...

    Just go back to the ketchup and mustard...

    Agreed, our jerseys look more red and out of date every year. I'm really getting sick of them.

    Shiny ones don't breathe like the new ones.

    Didn't like the shinyness of the old material, especially on the white jerseys. I'm happy with the change.

    Yeah, I don't like the red/silver as much as red/white. It just looks drab.

    Ketchup 'n mustard should be our permanent road jerseys!

    I think he's saying the colors aren't as deep and shiny as last year. This year it looks washed out, sure the hue is lighter, but it looks washed out...

    Me too. More traditional fabric and more traditional numbering. I'm surprised so many people are complaining actually. It's a paradox to me. I thought everyone hated the shiny stuff. Yea... the shiny stuff... yarblockos!
