At the time, there wasn&#039;t any other team in the NBA that had as much detail and color, especially comparing Houston&#039;s away uniforms with the dark blue and silver stripes.
Granted, I was only about 9 years old when they changed it to that, so in retrospect, I&#039;ll admit the rocket with the teeth on it was a little silly, but the orbit path around the basketball was a nice touch, and the font they used for the word &quot;ROCKETS&quot; on top of that was pretty kick-ass.
The fact that the old logo never had a picture of a Rocket on it confused me, and I always thought the old one was a little bland.
Maybe a design somewhere in-between both could be made?</description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Maybe I&#8217;m alone on this, but I really liked the &#8217;96 &#8211;  &#8217;02 uniforms.</p><p>At the time, there wasn&#8217;t any other team in the NBA that had as much detail and color, especially comparing Houston&#8217;s away uniforms with the dark blue and silver stripes.</p><p>Granted, I was only about 9 years old when they changed it to that, so in retrospect, I&#8217;ll admit the rocket with the teeth on it was a little silly, but the orbit path around the basketball was a nice touch, and the font they used for the word &#8220;ROCKETS&#8221; on top of that was pretty kick-ass.</p><p>The fact that the old logo never had a picture of a Rocket on it confused me, and I always thought the old one was a little bland.</p><p>Maybe a design somewhere in-between both could be made?</p> ]]></content:encoded> </item> <item><title>By: Rockets fan from Saudi Arabia</title><link>http://www.red94.net/bring-gold-impassioned-plea/2746/comment-page-1/#comment-6978</link> <dc:creator>Rockets fan from Saudi Arabia</dc:creator> <pubDate>Thu, 08 Jul 2010 20:11:00 +0000</pubDate> <guid

Back to the uniforms...The alternate uniforms that we have are good, not great, but they are  a huge step in the right direction.
some of the best uniforms in the league are also the most simple. Bulls-red/white, Lakers-Purple/Gold, Spurs-black/silver, Celtics- green/white.
We need to keep it simple stupid (the office, Dwight) KISS
Red and White with less yellow then the alternates that we have now.</description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I agree that Yao coming back was big, but I do not think that many teams would have taken a chance on Yao.

isPermaLink="false">http://www.red94.net/?p=2746#comment-3294</guid> <description>The uniforms, and especially the roster pictured above bring back my fondest sports memories. While there is a place in my heart for the old logo, it really has nothing to do with actual Rockets. The current &quot;R&quot; does have a nice rocket theme, but the fact that &quot;Houston&quot; is no longer on our uniform is quite an abomination. I was especially glad to see the mustard back on last year and I think there should be a good offensive quantity of it on all uniforms used. It&#039;s ugly and in-your-face, especially when accented by red, all that a uniform should be about.
Insurance companies say that people who drive red cars are more likely to speed, get in accidents and get tickets. I wonder if there are any psychological affects on the refs when we wear our reds. Especially compared to something like Denver&#039;s baby blues. Does it cause an illusion of aggressiveness?</description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The uniforms, and especially the roster pictured above bring back my fondest sports memories.

While there is a place in my heart for the old logo, it really has nothing to do with actual Rockets. The current &quot;R&quot; does have a nice rocket theme, but the fact that &quot;Houston&quot; is no longer on our uniform is quite an abomination. I was especially glad to see the mustard back on last year and I think there should be a good offensive quantity of it on all uniforms used. It&#039;s ugly and in-your-face, especially when accented by red, all that a uniform should be about.

I think what has stood out among the great Houston players was not skill or fame, but heart.  Olajuwon, Elie, a young Horry, even crazy old Vernon Maxwell (and many others) played with a real determination that had nothing to do with jersey sales or statistics.  I like that we&#039;ve had some of that playing style in the last couple of years.  I think someone like Landry would have been a good fit to back up Otis Thorpe or sit beside Carl Herrera.</description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Nice picture.  That was a quality starting five.

The logo doesn&#039;t really need another overhaul. It&#039;s actually a pretty solid design, but if it were given an update it would still need to remain equally simplistic. As for uniform characteristics, I&#039;d like them to start trending towards some of the college uniform styles from last year. Like Kentucky&#039;s uniform, snug fit jersey, loose fitting shorts, metalic accent on the bottom of the neck, something Houston could put an actual 14k gold piece with the R logo embossed on it. They could do something nice with that as a template.</description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Wait a second though, are we forgetting about Houston&#8217;s new alternate jersey, ol&#8217; ketchup and mustard came back with HOUSTON on the jersey last year.
