    Considering Houston is one of the most diverse cities in the country and has a high Hispanic and Latin community, why don't we have a Los Rockets jersey?

    The Knicks, Heat, Lakers, Suns, Spurs, and Bulls have them, so why wouldn't we?

    Are any of you opposed to this?

    Does anyone else find this to be a rather lame heritage tribute?

    Yeah, I do think it's lame. I'm not saying I like the idea, but I was just wondering why I haven't seen this from us.

    Spanish speaking fans tend to go with the english name, rather than translating it, hence "los rockets"

    Because we have no national games or star. It's a gimmick to sell jerseys and Houston has no one to market or market to. We wore those jerseys when T-Mac was here.

    I've always thought that putting "Los" in front of the team name was just plain lazy.

    I really think the NBA should follow these examples from MLB:

    Maybe I don't understand Hispanic culture. if they didn't want to translate "Rockets" why would they want to add "Los" in front of it? Or should it be pronounced "Rowkets"?
