    I don’t care
    You don’t live in Houston and don’t care about the championships and rich history before Les Alexander pandered to China
    This is what the truth is

    i hate all fake rockets fans

    I respect the heck out of Rockets history. Their present....not so much.

    Oh and I notice you ignored the fact that the "red" flag has been the communist standard going back to the 19th century.

    new Rockets fans think it’s red, gray, and black thanks to Les :mad:

    the black ones look better than our usual ugly ass regular jerseys, but a lot of teams were doing black way before us...it’s not original in any way

    ketchup and mustard should be our main jersey with the black ones being an alternate, but instead we got it the other way around

    I was listening to the radio broadcast of the first HOUSTON Rockets' regular-season game. The announcer, Art Eckman, described the official colors as Rocket Red and Desert Gold.

    Fans who don’t understand that wearing red and yellow at Toyota center doesn’t mean you are a communist sympathizer

    It means you are pure

    like Hakeem Olajuwon

    I think yellow gets a bit too much pub. Like it's the shining star. Red and white dominated the color scheme. Yellow was just along for the ride. Which is what made it work so well. But, ultimately, you caynt go wrong either way.

    My only Rockets cap looks a lot like this. It represents work uniforms. It represents championships. I don't wear the new-fangled pansy crap and I don't like seeing my team in it either.

    I will say the pajamas are the original uniform sin that begat all others. It's way past time to get pure.
