Houston Rockets Home Jersey 2007-2008


There seems to be a trend in the NBA these days-- crafting the team's brand and image according to its current franchise player. The Philadelphia 76ers did during the Allen Iverson Era, the Cleveland Cavaliers did it for LeBron James and the Houston Rockets did it to coincide with its "Asian Invasion."

The Rockets' third logo change happened when Yao Ming started to emerge as a premier center in the NBA and the move to the Toyota Center. So the switch to the minimalist Red jersey seemed to be aligned with the sea change.

In my opinion, the Rockets latest design is too subdued for sports. Yes, it has a very aggressive color, but the over-all design is to sparse and not dynamic. I see the Houston Rockets jersey as one of the lower-end NBA Basketball Jersey spectrum dwellers.
