Anyone else feel like the current R design is getting dated? Or the logo in general? I really like our current jersey design, and especially the city logo (but not the actual city jersey) this season, but the red R logo really reminds me of the Yao/McGrady/Harden days and not our current squad. This is our primary logo now: This is our alternate logo now: The Rockets rolled out the "new" logo and jerseys back in 2003 and the design was in part inspired by us getting the great Yao Ming. We have moved on from that jersey designs and have these:
Would love a full rebrand. The last two city jerseys have been cool, the Dunkstronaut is a really cool concept too.
Spoiler Give the people what they want and go back to ketchup and mustard “Modernized” for the “city edition” a few years ago Or lean into red/black Or lean into the dunkstronaut There’s your new court There’s your new mascot
The remix edition is the only jersey I think has looked really good, tho that one year with the NASA font was decent. I wouldn’t mind leaning into the dunkstronaut with red and blue, more space theme. Definitely think the red and yellow nostalgia is blinding people. Nobody actively chooses a color combination that reminds them of ketchup and mustard.
Y'all remember those (christmas?) uniforms that were like maroon and gold? Those were legit I thought they'd lean into that. I liked the SD Rockets throwbacks too. Green/Golds are a weird but cool alternate. Really hoping they lean into this year's city edition though, just such a cool concept and finally, finally, FINALLY space themed. The blood drip R China rockets indeed got stale about halfway through Harden's tenure.
It has to go back to red white and gold. Has to. And just a thin line of gold to make it pop not 50/50.
