Another day, another project. The recent Rockets city uniform inspired me to overhaul their brand a bit. I've never been a fan of any of the Rockets logo combinations or uniforms, outside of a couple of throwbacks and alternates. The logos haven't necessarily been terrible, it just lacks so much for a team from Houston called the Rockets. Although their current primary is THE worst in the NBA by a wide margin (and that includes OKC). As for the logos... I went in a completely different direction with the new set. I really wanted to bring an actual rocket back to the forefront because the team is called... the Rockets. Their old navy/blue/red colour scheme makes a return, although the blue has been lightened to a sky blue-esque shade. The Dunkstronaut has been promoted to an official mark of the team because of how awesome it is. I brought back the retro wordmark style, with a rocket added within the negative space of the O to provide a bit of extra identity. The uniforms... I went simple with the design and let the colours do most of the talking. I tried several different versions of pinstripes and side piping but it always ended up looking gaudy and unprofessional. The Dunkstronaut makes an appearance on the shorts to give the uniform set a bit more charm. I demoted the red to an accent colour on the uniforms. I opted for navy blue to reflect a "Deep Space" vibe. The sky blue operates in the place that white normally would, including the primary colour of the road uniforms. I feel like it's light enough that it wouldn't cause any issues with other teams that use blue as a primary colour. Let me know y'all think!
