The Rockets have now worn two versions of a sleeved uniform, and I think its an awesome look. They fit better and give a more athletic look IMO. Spoiler Spoiler I would be very down to have either of these in the rotation permanently as an alternate (sans the chinese script). The shorts are the best part. Way better than our current ones.

I think compared to our current jerseys, almost anything looks like an improvement. Let's wait and see what our current design elements look like with the new cut we're meant to be getting next season.
Sleeved jerseys look like knock off Crap jerseys people pick up at Wal-mart so they can have their favorite teams brand on. They are terrible. What this is really all about from the leagues perspective is getting everyone used to sleeved jerseys so when they start covering the whole thing with advertisements from Tide and Prudential and Maxi-Pads it won't be such a total shock. Good bye basketball, I loved you most my life.
They need to make the alternate uni's (red/yellow) our permanent uniforms. Just make a home version of it and you're finished..
For some reason Corey Brewer plays great with the sleeves. I remember the game vs the Spurs when he had like 6 straight threes and buzzer beaters in back to back quarters. I agree with you on the shorts. The Two "Rs" on the back just looks cool.
I really like the sleeved jerseys. I know that it looks a bit like soccer uniforms but I like the more fitted look. I specially like the shoulder seam detail and the gold accent on the sleeves. I also like our current uniforms and logo. The design is pretty modern. They just need to change the cut to make it more like the alternative jerseys.
instead of allocating time and money to things that would actually improve the product on the court (officiating) the league and it's franchises continually tinker with other crap instead, typically ticket sales or merchandising related. this is about as dumb as the attempted spalding microfiber change in the ball a few seasons back.
