    This is actually not a bad idea. Should be done in flocks

    If enough Rockets fans show up in the championship gear, I think he'll get the picture.

    The smartest thing would be to have an open contest to design the new uniform so. Narrow the selections down and have the fan section vote on the finalists.

    This! This is my major complaint. The font size is too thin and small. It needs more impact. I am fine with the "R" logo. Add in some yellow accents? Sure. But I have no interest in completely "rehashing a nostalgic dated design." They just need to add in some nostalgic accents to the current look, imo.

    It is clear Tilman is keen on the brand identity right now. If you REALLY want to get Tilman to make changes, you're a better off championing for TWEAKS to the current design than saying "ketch and mustard, brah!"

    There was NEVER a need to change the uniforms after the Rockets won the championships
    Tillman needs to fix that mistake
    The biggest one from the last owner

    hmmm, that article said this

    “things will look a bit different in some corners and might sound a bit different throughout the game”

    I’ll be at the game so I wonder what these different things will be.

    I question the judge's taste in style

    I can see fertitta hiring Kanye West as the designer. The Rockets will be the first homeless millionaires on the court.

    A bunch of red rowdies and/or clutchfans should get together decked out in championship era gear and eat at Landry’s (or any of his places) at least once a week. Take a group pic and post it on the gram. Be sure to tag Tillman, his fam, and Landry’s. Do this every week.

    I actually like the jerseys this year. They should have modified the shorts to match the top.

    This was very quick and dirty and after a beer or three, but I just doubled the height of the Rockets font and pasted this on there. Why don't our jerseys look like this?

    not a fan of the overall look, but I -love- what I'm guessing is a Chinese character for "Rockets" (the first character). Almost would work as a stand-alone alternate logo - not sure how much it would murder the Chinese language, but pretty slick, IMHO.

    The current uniforms are very intelligent. They actually have some symbolism to a rocket with the lines that go up the sides. I don't think people understand or appreciate this. This year it has been taken away and just looks like some arrows, but the whole point of those lines is to at least have something relevant to a rocket without going over the top and overdoing it. There is nothing anyone can create that is better than what we already have. The current jerseys are beautiful.

    All of your suggestions look horrid and have no relevance to the Rockets at all. And the jerseys from the 90's are just so outdated. What is wrong with you people.
