Time for new uniforms, logo or adjustment for the Rockets

[Caltex2]

I never liked it much to begin with and it hasn't aged well imo. The Yao era is over, the Rockets uniforms, save the alternate red and yellow, are just too plain.

The red and yellow should be the standard, those are awesome. The Chink pajamas have always sucked, though not as bad as the pinstripe pajamas.

They are about to be swept and the first thing you want them to change is uniforms?

[djohn2oo8]

Yeah the red and yellow ones are nice. They need to make a home uni with white red, and then yellow trim . Or they should just go back to the ones before the pajama ones.

[daslicer]

They should just go back to the championship uniforms but just update it a little bit to fit the current era.

Even with Yao retired for years now, Le$ Alexander still cashing in.

My God, the Pinstripe Pajamas, don't remind me! You don't change your uniforms after winning it all, imagine the Spurs winning it all then changing their primary logo and especially uniforms to match the Taco Cabana logo it had in the 90's.

True, he's still raking in dough by marketing to the Chinese.

I'll never forget that era during the mid to late 90's when a bunch of teams were switching to cartoonish jerseys. I remember the Pistons,Sonics,Bucks,Raptors and Rockets all having cartoon like jerseys. They are probably several more teams from what I can remember that also went to the cartoon style during that era.

Don't forget the Hawks, Hornets, Warriors, Jazz, Raptors and Grizzlies (I'm sure I'm leaving someone out).

If only every team could be like the Blazers, Clippers, Celtics, Lakers and Knicks and just have a timeless look.

[Infinite_limit]

I always felt the Rockets went to a all Red look because of Yao/China.

It's better than the Barkley years uniforms though

[Caltex2]

Of course they changed to red for Yao (and the logo may also be a node to the major sponsor Toyota).

You sure that wasn't the Sixers when they had all those stars? He said it looked like his daughter drew those with some markers.

Kinda strange how shit changes over time. I'm sure at the time those cartoonish logos were cool. I used to like these back in the day:

Not a fan of them now though.

[Caltex2]

Back in the 90's, everyone wore teal or light blue of some shade. Look at the Carolina Panthers and Jacksonville Jaguars, who still more or less wear the same colors they originated with.

The Raptors have been a shit organization but I've always liked their unis. Their original purple one with the raptor is probably the best of the cartoonish generation and the ones during the Vince Carter era were pretty badass too. Even the ones they have right now are ok.

The Bulls debuted those in 1996, so I doubt it.

I think half their losses that season came in those uniforms, and I think they only wore them about 10 games or so.

Edit: you meant calendar year my bad

[baseline bum]

http://chibullszone.com/2015/03/11/the-bulls-are-not-fans-of-the-black-jerseys-or-sleeves/

Even during the era of the pinstripe, the Bulls struggled wearing the alternate look. In the 1995-96 season the Chicago Bulls had an NBA record 72 wins. Losing 10 games. In those 10 games, 5 loses came while the Bulls wore the pinstripes. They sported the look 10 times that season going 5-5. Which, is a much better record that the 2014-15 Chicago Bulls currently have.


Just looked it up and the 96 Bulls were 5-5 in those pinstriped jerseys. :lol

They are about to be swept and the first thing you want them to change is uniforms?

:lmao

Anyways, the Rockets jerseys have sucked since 95-15. Their McDonald's color scheme sucks too, along with their shitty logo.

[Caltex2]

So much for them getting swept. Anyways, I like than alternate ketchup and mustard look. Way better than the Yao-era monstrosities.

Speaking of nostalgia, doesn't it look like the Boston Celtics' old logo look like he's about to take a you-know-what?
