The Rockets debuted new jerseys and a complete makeover late last week. This makes sense because the video was a follow-up to the Rockets account’s Twitter video, which featured Rudy Tomjanovich’s dinner and honored the ‘93-‘94 and ‘94-‘95 Rockets teams that wore the Ketchup and Mustard jerseys, making them a fan favorite remembered by Rockets fans worldwide, regardless of age. Finally, Ketchup and Mustard are back.
In addition to the Ketchup and Mustard jerseys, the Rockets also unveiled a new black
alternate that will be their signature jerseys and a new pin-stripped version. The Rockets also changed their emblems, giving the famous Dunkstronaut and the trademark R a new border. I personally am glad they kept the Dunkstronaut.
“We heard our fans…Ketchup and mustard are back!” said Patrick Fertitta, Vice Chairman of the Houston Rockets and Comets. “From the time my family bought the team in 2017, we’ve heard from countless fans about how deeply those colors are tied to their memories of Rockets basketball. We wanted to create something that celebrates the generations of fans who built Rockets basketball while inspiring the next generation of Rockets fans.”
The Rockets will continue to promote their new design by holding a celebratory event at The George R. Brown Convention Center on Friday from 10 to 8 in honor of the new uniforms. The first 100 fans who spend $100 or more will receive a free T-shirt. Rudy Tomjanovich, Steve Francis, and Vernon Maxwell, who will sign autographs from 12-1, 2-3, and 4-5, respectively, are just a few of the many Rockets icons that will be present to sign autographs.
Having stated all of that, what are your thoughts? Are the jerseys appealing to you? Do you not like the jerseys? Tell me, and don’t forget to return to The Dream Shake for all Houston Rockets news.
