Teams dropping a new jersey variant what feels like every few months is not a vibe.

Too many new jerseys every year. This one makes no sense.

Yeah replacing the red with green from the historic jerseys like the Geico caveman would say "Not cool."

I know it's not a big deal but all these weird color unis honestly confuse the hell out of me when I turn a game on. It takes ages for my tiny pea brain to remember which team is which out there.

It's not weird for the Rockets to wear white green and yellow?

I mean, my tiny pea brain wasn't born when the Rockets were in San Diego so this is still weird to my tiny pea brain.

Well, it's kinda like when people react curiously to the Lakers' Minneapolis retros. There's often a throwback thing happening when the colors seem different.

I'm a huge fan of green & yellow in sports. The Supersonics, Green Bay Packers, Edmonton Elks (for my fellow Canadians out there) always looked great. I won't be minding an occasional break from blinding red of all the Rockets jerseys. There are wayyyyy too many red jerseys in the NBA, so even if they only rock these a few times, I'm grateful lol.

I thought the Rockets would be a fun watch last year and got on the bandwagon a little. It was NOT fun, but I'm keeping my stock and will be tuning in early to watch the Sengun and Jabari frontcourt.
