Houston Rockets' New Alternates

I think Howard's expression sums up my reaction. Well, the black and red alternate is alright, I suppose.

And people make fun of those pinstripe jerseys from the 90s...

Ugly. I'm not a fan.

They better not be replacements for the mustard & ketchup alt jerseys or i'll be mad. I love the McDonalds All-Stars-lookin' jerseys

The nba only brought out jerseys like the one Howard is wearing once Jerome James and Eddy Curry retired.

I really don't like them myself, looks to much like a soccer jersey.

The black one is alrightish I guess.

It's a sign of the times. Anything that doesn't have sleeves usually at least gets a passing grade.

Looks a little random. The black one is nice but it has nothing to do with their identity.

Grey one is ok although i'm still not a fan of these shoulder straps they put on sleeved jerseys.

Red one sucks ass.

I like the black one. I even like the checkered sides because it actually is inspired by the Gemini Titan II:

I actually don't have a strong opinion one way or another on sleeved jerseys but the gray one makes it look like Dwight is either wearing a backpack or wearing an undershirt.

That's the problem with the shoulder straps on the sleeved jerseys, the illusion that they're wearing a backpack. I'm not a fan of sleeves in general, but I'd say the strap designs are the worst use of the concept.

Shoulder straps are more of an (American) football thing. Looks like the Denver Broncos or Cincinnati Bengals

They are all trash.

I hope for no more sleeved jerseys in the future. Didn't several players already point out they don't feel 100% comfy playing in those? It's better to stick to tradition and not mess up what's not broken.

There's definitely been some criticism from within the player ranks. Hopefully when the deal with adidas expires, that'll be the end of them.

When Beno played for the Knicks he hit the side of the backboard on a corner 3 then during the timeout he was seen trying to rip the sleeves off until what looked like a PR guys telling not too.

NovU, I do like some of the sleeved jerseys though but almost all of those new ones are shit.

Re: Houston Rockets' New Alternates

I think some of them are okay for wearing out and about but not on the basketball court.

I liked various sleeved jersey designs in these 2 years. But not the sleeved jerseys

The red sleeved one is nice. The one that Dwight wears reminds me of a T-shirt
