Houston Rockets New Uniform

rockets2
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.”

    Team China

  2. BNZA says:

    man I want the whole corporate id from the mid-90´s back. Hakeem and Clyde looked so good

  3. jzsmoove says:

    yuck.

    i agree, the Hakeem and Co. prime years had the best Rockets unis.

  4. Patrick Cassidy says:

    @abpin -

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

  5. sh!tfaced says:

    Team China without a Chinese player playing for them.

  6. KnicksFan84 says:

    Looks like a WNBA jersey to me!

  7. JordaMnnnn! says:

    McDonald’s endorsement

  8. heavy d says:

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

  9. Scott says:

    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.

  10. Steve A says:

    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….

  11. Ross says:

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

  12. Shakers says:

    The font looks like the intro to a terrible Halloween movie special.

  13. Big Bad Wolf says:

    it’s team china’s road jersey… hahahaha! who designed this piece of crap? they should stick to their throwback jerseys if this is the case….

    @12

    TRUE THAT!!!!

  14. Marci says:

    Crap. (short comment)

  15. Chicagorilla says:

    I would like to know what “The Real Tyrone” thinks about these ugly mofo’s

  16. Ducky says:

    Damnit!!! Ronald McDonald at half-time and fuckin Hulkamania at The Toyota Center. I still luv my Rockets but why the weakness.. shoulda been sold on NBA.com 4 the women.. Its Team China endorsed by Mickey D’s. FML. Worst Rocket Seaon ever from a fans perspective. They still gonna do it up though…

  17. Gunner J. Matthews says:

    Not the prettiest unis
    They shouldve made it red & black or red with black and white trim

  18. Kobeef says:

    I hope this means the end of those stupid red and white “ray gun” uniforms. They are horrible.

  19. control says:

    Apparently they are going to play the Chinese national anthem before games now…

    @comment #9

    “Why is it hung so awkwardly?”

    That’s what she said.

  21. King says:

    Why wont they just go back to the old uniforms

  22. mavs all the way says:

    LOL @20

    “Why is it hung so awkwardly?”, said Mrs.Odom during their honeymoon.

  23. Prof. TX says:

    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.

  24. mavs all the way says:

    BREAKING NEWS: Houston Rockets just changed their name to Guangdong Rockets with Ronald McDo as their mascot.

    Go Rockets!!! Shinghai Fonglai Hoshini!

  25. ando says:

    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.

  26. ab_40 says:

    the R is for Ronald Mcdonnald

    but hey at least they’re gonna sell jerseys again now all they need is another all star next to yao to watch sells blow up

  27. EN FUEGO says:

    R is for Rehab. Since all the Rockets stars are rehabbing injuries time and again

  28. mavs all the way says:

    R is for Retards. Because… all of them are.

  29. That's whats up says:

    These Matador unis are a perfect fit for the Rockets defensive schemes.

  30. Guitar Hero says:

    HULKAMANIA IS RUNNIN’ WILD!

  31. The Hoops Freak says:

    Massive improvement.

  32. #1 Rockets Fan! says:

    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!!

  33. Nevacare says:

    I like it not as much as last season’s jerseys but they could have done worse

  34. bola says:

    i would ask for a trade if i have to wear those.. ugly, plain and ugly..

  35. yobuddy says:

    they should have gone wit dat blue like they did in ‘02-03′ season dat yellow and red is like team china hopefully they wont be as bad lol

  36. jay says:

    the mcdonalds colorway is back…damn all is going back to the past…i think these are better than the last few years or those navy blue pinstrip joints!

  37. El Chapulín Colorado says:

    These are the best uniforms ever!

  38. Some Guy says:

  42. Michael says:

    yeah i would agree that the colors are similar with china’s jersey. :) hehe

  43. Jules says:

    should just stick with the retro unis, font looks awful

  44. okkkace says:

    why do i feel like im looking at the hulkster. what you going to do when hulkamainia run wild on you lol.

  45. Pflo says:

    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.

  46. Terry says:

    Lets keep the past with the past Im sooo not feeling this jersey, what was so wrong with the red & white?

  47. Big k says:

    Maaan no wonder economy is f’d up! Who gonna but that costume!?!?!? Lol they pay all that money to design a jersey but they seem to only make it worse!!! First was the thunders and Now the rockets??? some one needs to be shot!!!

  48. Phillip says:

    It looks WNBA.

  49. Scott says:

    Ketchup and Mustard are never a good combo.

  50. rkmoses says:

    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.
