The long-awaited black jersey for the Houston Rockets is finally here.
“We’ve seen it on ClutchFans, we’ve read the threads,” said Rockets vice president of marketing Ken Sheirr. “Fans have been clamoring for a black jersey. We heard it, loud and clear.”
The road alternate jersey, which will not be worn by the team until the 2016-17 season, looks terrific — it’s all black with red trim around the shoulder. No sleeves. It says simply “HOUSTON” on the front. I think it looks outstanding. Rockets rookie Sam Dekker wore the jersey in a reveal event by the team Tuesday night.
