sj32 Posted January 19, 2005 Share Posted January 19, 2005 The Pacers are wearing the blue throwbacks from 1987 while the Rockets are in red throws from 1971. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TFoA Posted January 19, 2005 Share Posted January 19, 2005 Well I guess they figured that the Rockets red was bright enough not to clash with the Indy blue... Any photos? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DEAD! Posted January 19, 2005 Share Posted January 19, 2005 I was kinda hoping for the lower case "rockets" jerseys. The ones they won championships in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CC97 Posted January 19, 2005 Share Posted January 19, 2005 Reggie Miller is wearing a throwback he wore as a regular jersey, I can't imagine that has happened before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dnice Posted January 19, 2005 Share Posted January 19, 2005 I think Houston already had throwbacks for the championship years.I think Yao got tired of seeing the clip of Swift throwin it down in his face! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrewharrington Posted January 19, 2005 Share Posted January 19, 2005 with the old and new pics, you can see the inconsistency in the weight of the numerals. they are slightly thicker on the throwbacks than on the real thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamesjduncan Posted January 19, 2005 Share Posted January 19, 2005 Can I just say for the record that those Houston retros are hotter than hell, and I would love to see them worn on a regular basis. I actually like them much better than that thing they wear now. ---I also liked the navy blue pinstripe thingy, my opinion means nothing..... :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
artvandelay Posted January 19, 2005 Share Posted January 19, 2005 Also happened in the Mavs/Wizards Game last night... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hormone Posted January 19, 2005 Share Posted January 19, 2005 I like these special nights and all, but why can't the Rockets use their home white retro that night? We're getting to the point where the white uni is expendable (except like when a red team plays a red or orange team). A bunch of colleges are doing it now. What's to say that the NFL isn't going to let that happen like they do sometime on Thanksgiving? I just don't want it to get to be bush league or when you never know what color your team is going to wear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
appleclock Posted January 20, 2005 Share Posted January 20, 2005 Well for one thing, it doesn't work for hockey.I rememeber one time the Montreal Canadiens and the New York Rangers both wore colored jerseys on some retro night a few years ago... The players couldn't tell who was who... Kept bumping into their own teammates... After the second period, the Habs players had to come out wearing their white home helmets (with their red jerseys) and it looked absolutely ridiculous. Never, ever again! Not even on L.A. Kings throwback night! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the_cynic Posted January 20, 2005 Share Posted January 20, 2005 That was simply the ugliest retro game I have ever seen. Both Indiana & Houston's uniforms were horrid! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
