    If our jerseys weren’t so ugly we’d be top 5.

    What's the English translation of those Chinese characters on the rockets jersey?

    The ranking has very little to do with design.

    Actually think a lot has to do with design......

    Harden would be #3rd if we had nicer uniforms.

    strongly disagree. Harden would be #3 if he was seen more favorably with the media and did more dunks and mean faces.

    Case in point, the THUNDER jerseys are absolute TRASH, are in a smaller market and yet are ranked higher. Why? Westbrook. Mean Faces, Dunking.

    Curry and Lebron (Loved by all ages... family oriented etc) (plus nicer jerseys)

    Surprisingly a lot of ppl just like the Thunder jersey and the brand has been more popular than the Rockets have in the past few years. Rockets barely got Chris Paul. Hardens had unknown or shitty teammates around him (Howard)

    Rockets brand looks horrible. I am sure 80% of those sales come from the black jersey.

    Exactly DESIGN has nothing to do with it.

    It's all about N A R R A T I V E and N I K E

    Where do the Astros rank in their sport and how has that metric evolved since they went back to the classic layout?

    The Thunder have like 1 jersey that looks bad. We have ALL but 1 jersey that looks bad. The black one is the only one worth buying. For our alternate "city" jersey this year we got a freaking plain red jersey with chinese letters on it. Are you kidding me? Just face it, our jerseys are trash and that absolutely affects sales.

    Bucks ranked higher / Giannis ranked higher. I am 100% sure more ppl in the world know Harden over Giannis (nobody can spell his name)

    Bucks jersey looks nicer. I know ppl that wear the t shirts bcuz they love the logo etc.

    Exactly. I hate the Warriors like everyone else on here, but I can't deny the fact that their jerseys are beautiful. Add that with the fact they have 4 all stars and of course their sales are through the roof.

    People don't like Harden. I mean if you read realgm or reddit they are always hating on him.

    People don't like Harden but the whole reason the Bulls jersey sells well is because the logo is one of the best in sports and the jerseys are sick

    It's not the jersey, nobody likes the Rockets. Accept the hate.

    Harden would be 3rd if he dunked hard and yelled a lot. Look at T-mac, classic choker but dunked hard.

    Plus tell me what 13 year old wants his friends to tease him when he wears Harden's jersey since he : Chokes in the playoffs, travels, flops, doesn't play defense or any of the trash nba twitter says about him.

    Would you take that risk in middle school when you could just get a Curry jersey and be done with it?

    Having the worst uniform and logo in the NBA DOES affect sales.

    I get the love for Giannis; I can see why he's ranked so high. But how is Milwaukee 6th? That team is literally Giannis. Literally every other team on that list is either 1) in a big market, 2) has 2+ star/superstar players or 3) both.

    Milwaukee is an outlier, in every sense of the word. Does Giannis' sales carry the team, that much? My goodness.
