It's time to use the alternates as the regular jerseys. Those would probably look fine with the new material.
It wasn't red/white before. It's just that the gray trim was noticeably lighter. Look a the TMAC pic on page 1. On the shorts, you can see the difference between the gray on the trim vs the white of the "R" logo. I always thought the gray looked weird when they unveiled the logo and jerseys but it didn't end up being much of an issue because it did look almost white on the jerseys. The shiny material may have helped with that. Now they look like the replicas and the gray just sucks. Red/White = Good Red/Gray = Bad
I found an article about all the changes to jerseys this year, but i'm puzzled why they didn't mention the Rockets. http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/page2/story?page=lukas/101026_uni_watch_NBA_preview
