    Does Les approve all our marketing and logo stuff, or is Tad and co. making these decisions?

    It's literally affecting the franchise's overall likeability.

    Please make it stop.

    for an independent fan forum with almost 40k members, doesnt help your argument

    its freaking jerseys, who cares.....

    all that matters is who's playing in them

    Rumor is that we are getting a new fabric and cut for our current uniforms. I think that change alone will make our uni's much better.

    You can't honestly think that the Rockets jerseys are better than those Clippers jerseys.

    I agree - the vampire jerseys are pretty ugly. I really like the throwbacks with the ketchup and mustard colors though. Simplicity just looks better.

    why can't we just wear our old school jerseys? Those are like 309847320487 times better.

    Too bland for my taste I'd rather keep the current jerseys than have those plain jane jerseys. Besides the white unis are pretty cool, imo.

    I remember numerous posts that mentioned they heard this from different sources, but I've never seen where it was confirmed by the Rockets.

    I never liked the ridiculous thick and curving double stripes on the jerseys or the shorts. I also hate the shoulder cuts.

    Someone brought this to my attention, but our current home jersey's look like a chinese food take out box. Was that an accident?

    Silly considering jersey sales in China are based solely on Yao being a Rocket, and not the design of the jersey.

    They simply don't look NBA, and they don't look clean. I don't have access to the figures, but there's no chance that the Rockets jersey sales in the US are in the upper half of the league. Their design is too ugly and the cut is just awful. Les needs to admit he's now 0-2 in picking jerseys, and try again. I can't stand a team I root for having crappy uniforms.

    The current Rocket jerseys aren't that bad. Besides, anything is better than those pajama looking uniforms they use to wear.

    I don't care about the design or the colors (both are fine with me)

    But the style of the cut of these jerseys is AWFUL.

    What I wouldn't give for a swingman cut like the Lakers or the Heat...
