Houston Rockets New Uniform
The Sixers officially dropped new uniforms yesterday, as did the Charlotte Bobcats. Last night the Houston Rockets unveiled a new alternate road jersey.
MyFoxHouston.com says that of the new jerseys: “The red color is not quite the same as their other jerseys and the fabric has a different look and feel.”
What do you think of the new jersey?

@abpin -
Great call. You’re right – they do look like they should be labeled “Team China Alternate Road Uniforms.”

No one was available to model it? It’s looking kind of sad clipped to the curtain.

Why is it hung so awkwardly?? Looks like no one really gave a shit when they put it up… then again it looks like no one gave a shit when they designed it either, lol.

It’s amazing how bad 90% of sports jerseys are. These aren’t all that bad, but just in general, it’s like that’s the one thing they can’t seem to figure out….

Didn’t they just get new uniforms a few season ago?

This fits the season’s theme of “this one doesn’t count, catch us on tv next year after we trade for our new stars.”
They should have waited until next summer, when they could show a new uniform on Bosh or Wade or whomever they get for the McGrady money.

If you’re gonna do this colorway, do it right. Do the Hakeem and Clyde jerseys. In fact, all teams should go back to their most popular throwbacks permanently.

They’re not that bad. I love how they say Houston on the front like the old jerseys, and that they’re a throwback to the Dream Shake days…very nice look, can’t wait to buy one!!

They need to go back to the old uniforms from back in the day. 94-95 year! This one is ok but it has nothing on the year they won the title.

A few years ago, the San Diego Chargers started wearing those powder blue throwbacks, occasionally…Everyone (especially Chis Berman) liked the white helmets and pastel jerseys…they liked ‘em so much, that the team changed the whole uniform in ‘07…I really liked the intimidating navy blue and gold color scheme (didnt LT look tougher in that dark blue helmet with the dark eye shield?)…My point is that I like the new alternate Rockets uniforms alot……as an occasional alternate jersey…we should definately keep the classy red,grey & white uniforms going for a while….they just feel right.
