Even the Chicago Bulls, who, like the Rockets, had only one championship era, knew that they should keep their look, and still have it to this day.Įven though this team made several deep runs in the playoffs, it just has the look of being washed up all over. It also had the aesthetic of all the teams to never change their general disposition - ie. Not only had the red and yellow look been around forever and got the team two chips, but there isn’t another colorway like it. The choice to immediately change uniforms, logos, and colors after back-to-back championships is easily one of the most baffling choices in uniform history.

All the great things about the red and yellow ones, but with the red waistband and the logo on the shorts. Of course, we’d be amiss if we didn’t mention the classic home uniforms. After a nearly 25-year hiatus, the Rockets brought it back for a promotional event, and they have aged tremendously. The font, the color trim, the white waistband, the name on the shorts - such a damned good look. For nearly 20 seasons, the Rockets donned arguably the most beloved look in Houston sports history. It was the beginning of what we all know and love. The very next year, Houston decided to change it up and switch the font to the slanted team name instead of the rounded name, but they kept the same color-blocking.

It was essentially the same jersey as the San Diego ones - font, color-blocking, etc. The first iteration of the Rockets’ jerseys was very short-lived and rarely discussed. We don’t claim you, nor should we want to, but you’re part of the history, and you are acknowledged. It’s laced with one of the most iconic looks of all time and a few questionable choices.īefore we get started, shout out to the green and yellow (gold?) San Diego Rockets jerseys. The history of the Houston Rockets’ jerseys is a brief and somewhat controversial one.
