Rockets to unveil alternate uniform tomorrow

[djohn2oo8]

"Expect them to announce their marketing slogan for the season and to unveil an alternate uniform Wednesday night at Toyota Center."

http://www.nba.com/rockets/news/rockets_announce_plans_for_sea_2009_09_17.html

Wish they would throw away their current uniforms, but the 3rd uniform is said to resemble the championship uniforms, but modernized

[DPG21920]

They should go black with red letters.

And then never go back.

[BlackBellamy]

They need Cyrillic lettering. Really nail in the red army look.

[TDMVPDPOY]

[redzero]

I wonder how many people will be at that press conference? I'm guessing no less than 2 and no more than 5

Well, you're probably safe on the 2.

Someone has to hold the camera, and someone has to talk to it. :lol

That jersey Dream is rocking is full of win.

He's not. Put out a new jersey and there will be plenty of fans who will shell out money for one. This is about boosting merchandise sales.

Dream has one leg white and the other black, wtf?

[djohn2oo8]

Which is why he hasn't signed an extension yet? Him staying depends on this season

"My loyalty is to Akron," said James. "I'm looking forward to this upcoming season, but I'm looking forward to the summer of 2010, too, to see what may happen. No matter what happens that summer, you know, I'm still here. I've got a nice big house here that I'm always coming back to. You know, I love this city and I'll always give back to this city no matter what my profession, if it takes me somewhere else."

why would he sign an extension? Not signing keeps the pressure on the Cavs. RealGM is a bunch of Knicks fans trying to stir rumors, no logical NBA fan thinks he is leaving anymore.

Not signing also makes it tough for the Cavs to recruit players because no one wants to risk being stuck in Cleveland without Lebron being there.

he told Ariza he was staying, then denied it because he is playing the media game. Lebron is trying to sell books and his movie, you think people in NYC want to buy things from a guy who they know isn't coming? This was his biggest marketing offseason in his lifetime and the 2010 thing keeps his name in the news when basketball isnt. Every single slip up and sign has pointed to him staying, and it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out what is going on- the only people who can't figure it out are the people who buy shoes just because Lebron wears them....so I guess it all makes sense

Hell, even with James there they were only able to muster Daddy. There ain't a blue chipper anywhere on that roster, save James.

Lebron's definitely playing a game. I'm not ready to say it ends up with him in Cleveland next year though. Maybe it does, maybe it doesn't. Either way, he's making Danny Ferry's job incredibly difficult.

[BlackBellamy]

Dream has one leg white and the other black, wtf?

:lol Now that was a team with racial diversity! His white leg was virtually useless besides shooting off of from the outside areas of the court, whereas his black leg was used in the paint, rebounding and for his patented "dream shake". I hear his white leg is being considered for coaching job in Indiana.

[DPG21920]

You guys are foolish. Lebron does not need that much talent to win. Just a few key upgrades and he will have a legit shot in Cleavland.

Same thing with Rudy Tomjanovich. :lol

Rockets.com's web guy must have too much free time on his hands.

[DPG21920]

He got to the finals in 2007 with less talent. I am not talking about his current team or even the next 2 years.

But those teams you named (with the exception of Orlando) are on the down slope and if James stays in Cleavland, and they get him some useful pieces, he will be competing for titles for a long time.

That is truly awful. I think I like the blue pinstriped pajamas better.

Please tell me the shorts don't have golden 'Rocket' arches. :lol I think this may be a subtle corporate sponsorship on game jerseys. We'll know for certain if Tracy's jersey reads 'Big Mac.'

Eh, its all right. I was really hyped to see it. I HATE the Houston font.

I hate to beat a dead horse.....but those jerseys are Chinese colors. The Rockets are about as UnAmerican as you could possibly be, from the arena, to the big stars, and now the jerseys. Rooting for them is like rooting against America

we already went through this last year, they are a group from Hong Kong which is a big difference. Hong Kong is more capitalistic than the USA, while mainland China (the Rockets) are communist. Hong Kong is "Chinese" on from tradition, but it is a separate entity. This is why people say "mainland China" when they are referring to all the evils of the world (like them funding genocide)- they say that to keep Hong Kong out of that mix.

Hong Kong= Good
Mainland China=Bad

proof of this is that the investment group from Hong Kong was able to buy 15% of the Cavs, while Yao had to strike a deal with his government to be allowed to play basketball for the Rockets (which included paying upwards of 50% of his salary (after taxes) back to China) Big difference

Hong Kong doesn't even have the same government as China (thank god for them)

I never knew that! I have a friend from Hong Kong who says the same thing, so I understand.

that's more than I can say for Rockets fans. You guys are building a team around 2 guys who are always hurt and another who championship caliber teams wanted as a bench player

[djohn2oo8]

Better than being constantly overrated.....McGrady's gone by next summer, and i think they will have more money to spend by then

I really wish I knew what you were trying to say here. What is all this bench player stuff?

I enjoy our team, its a group of tough nosed, hard worker, good character guys. Sure our stars haven't been exceptional but our team is in good hands with Morey. We have always been in the mix, maybe not the favorites, but definatley in the mix. Cleveland is...well....I mean its just a sad sad place. With Lebrons impending departure, you are gonna have like ten years of the Anderson Varejao show. Just thinking about that, kinda makes me want to kill myself.
