Should the Houston Rockets change uniforms to an updated retro-look?

[bmd]

Should they return to their old colors and revert back to their championship-winning uniforms?

Some teams have gone back to their roots... Cavs, Jazz, 76ers, Warriors, etc.

In your opinion, which style do you like better?

Trust me, he wasn't my first choice.

THIS.

So understated and classic. Their uniforms have been nothing but an enormous dissapointment ever since the switch for the 1995-96 season.

Their best jerseys. They should bring these back. Never really liked their current looking jerseys.

[Rake2204]

I don't know what I'd do for the Rockets. Maybe their older jersey (Olajuwon's years) would look better if their court looked a little more welcoming. I used to hate watching Rockets games back in the early 90's when they were playing at the summit. Bland red paint with limited logo and city name usage, seemingly very yellow hardwood. . . it just didn't mesh well back then.

Hawks did. I don't know why they changed that. :facepalm

[NOHCP3]

I like the red yellow and white alternates. I call them the McDonald's jerseys :lol but yeah I never liked the red and whites they have now... Plain and clearly catering to a certain part of the fanbase

[madmax17]

[spiegel]

I hated our dildo with teeth dark blue unis, but the all red and Houston marking in white mustard outline is an alltime classic.

[TMacMagic]

How about they make the playoffs first, then w'll take about jersey changes.

[gasolina]

There's just too much yellow on the alternates. They should

1) Make the numbers white
2) minimize the yellow on the side
3) Darker shade of red

In other words just go back to the championhip jerseys

[Droid101]

Yes. Anything. Their current goth bloody stake jerseys suck balls.


This one should be easy. Take a rocket, maybe add some fire or an explosion, and you’re done. So why does the Rockets logo look like it was lifted from the cover of a teen vampire novel?

Johnny Logo Designer must have been a closet goth, but you’ve got to at least give him credit for convincing the organization that the obvious bloody fang and stake motif was actually an abstract rocket or something. He was probably a big hit at the local Hot Topic for pulling that off.

The problem is that abstract only works when you’re a team like the Knicks whose name doesn’t mean anything. When you’re the Rockets, you use — wait for it — a ****ing rocket. It’s not rocket science (wocka wocka). About the only good aspect of their logo is that they didn’t include the a basketball in the image. It amazes me that so many teams have found this necessary considering that the use of a basketball is implied by the fact that they are, surprise, a basketball team.

It’s good thing that the Twilight books didn’t come out until a few years after Houston debuted this logo or someone might have a spooky lawsuit on their hands — although the Buffy the Vampire Slayer people might want to consult an attorney since I wouldn’t put it past this franchise to “bite” something from pop culture. I mean, do you think the Rockets name was a coincidence when the team started in San Diego in the late 1960s during the height of the space program? It’s not like naming your team, say, the Raptors because Jurassic Park was number one at the box office, but still.

In the end, we are dealing with a basketball team logo here. It’s not supposed to be fine art. And if you really think about it, the vampire logo might actually be appropriate. After all, Yao and T-Mac are pretty much the living dead.

And just like their careers, it’s probably time to drive a stake into this logo’s heart.

Dig it.

Those are pretty slick.

Rockets definitely need to change their logo/uniforms.
