Houston Rockets Thread '19 Preseason - The Tweet Seen Around The World

[puglife]

I assumed it was one new jersey, but hopefully it’s a complete overhaul and something we all love.

they need to scrap everything and start from scratch, this branding so dated, they can do some much with the team name and city history yet they hang on to this crap

 

[Peep Game]

I saw a fanmade version where they just used the red/white colors, and it makes a WORLD of a difference. But....league wide I'm just sick of these stock looking NBA designs. Everybody's stuff is basically the city and team name in a circle using times new roman or comic sans font, and that's it. I'm ready for actual logos to come back and be front and center. I need to see some actual rockets, grizzlies, spurs, etc on some jerseys.

I made these for 2k

Hope morey tries to land AD for the year. Flip cp and capela for him. Cp reunion in New Orleans and he can help Zion grow. Capela can replace some of the lost AD production for them. We get AD for the year and try and win and convince him to stay.

Then flip Gordon or tucker to get butler somehow. Harden butler AD to try and win it all.

I dread AD going down with an injury and it’s Harden and Austin Rivers vs the World. But at this point, something big needs to be done, and the Raptors are currently showing that big gambles can pay off. If they win the title, it doesn’t matter in the slightest if Kawhi leaves. And if you re-sign him, you’re playing with house money.

kind of old news, but the only thing that has me excited about draft night:

[puglife]

[timelessflight]

they're taking their sweet *** time

 

[daruma]

not bad.

 

[Peep Game]

Take my money

 

[puglife]

ok the classic ones are cool. can't hate on those. the new font looks so awful on the other two though imo. really like the red shorts though.

 

[servechilled81]

0 unity in this design, the same old Chinese style logo still on the shorts no relation to wordmark
just pieces of old styles haphazardly thrown together

 

[Peep Game]

I really have no complaints. I wish league wide they’d go back to legit logos but I’m cool with this update.

 

[timelessflight]

Love the changes. Its going to grow on some folks.

Boring, Lazy designs. Another terrible set of informs to watch for another 10 years

anything is better than the side stripes

 

[HOU$TON]

Copping the red/yellow

I wish they kept the checkered accents on the side but oh well

 

[Kinfolk]

LOL at this organization.

Classic jerseys

Only for one year though but I'm sure sales might make them reconsider

Just signed Shamorie Ponds

One of my fav players to watch in college. Models his game after Harden. Very talented offensively and fits the system to a T. His Synergy stats line right up with our offensive philosophy too (which I hope we tweak). Hope he gets his chance here although I'll reserve optimism because of MDA. Easily one of the most talented/best undrafted guys and should've been a second round pick. I know it's usually pointless to get excited about young talent but it's very rare this team gets a chance to add a college player I like so I'm ecstatic for that reason alone.

Apparently it's a 3 year guaranteed deal which will cut into our MLE so that means Morey believes in him as well.

Edit: Apparently not confirmed yet, smh...

 

[Peep Game]

We had this for like 13 years, so I’m not complaining one bit

LOL at this organization.

I think you mistakenly posted in here, but I’d be pissed as well if my franchise mortgaged it’s future on a retiring filmmaker and another guy that always has “will be re-evaluated in 6-8 weeks” attached to his name.
