let me start off by saying im a fan of another team and this season is my 1st season watching and i had a, idk? question? discussion point about the rockets' jerseys i guess. the pictured one is a throwback correct? is this liked by the fans? to me it really is a bit cartoonish and houston's regular uniforms jerseys quite boring for such a cool city, i feel like there could be so much more done. thoughts?

  2. Pretty much everyone hated it in the 90s, especially after winning championships in the red and yellow. But as time has gone by, it’s grown on me and I now love it. It’s a perfect example of the gaudy late 90s style.

  3. I personally don’t like it at all. Not a fan of Rockets being blue. Imo, they should stay red with only yellow, white, or black.

  5. I had this olajuwon jersey in 1999, I think my mom gave it away. I didn’t like the design but it was only thing available in stores at the time. This and my Payless Olajuwon shoes.

  6. i love them personally, but i wasn’t around to be upset when they changed away from ketchup and mustard

  8. I loved that logo and jersey growing up 😂. Part of the reason why I liked the Rockets

  10. I was so happy to hear about this after the 95 championship … a rocket orbiting the moon with teeth! What could go wrong? It just wasn’t executed as well as described and turned out to be the Rockets pajamas. If we could have stayed healthy in 97 and beat the Jazz to advance to the finals with a health Dream and Barkley maybe we would remember these unis as military fatigues vs pajamas 🚀

  12. I think these are the Rockets’ equivalent to the Astros’ brick red era in Houston.
