Rockets Bring Back Ketchup and Mustard in Three‑Jersey Rebrand

The redesign blends championship‑era colors with space‑inspired logos to reconnect with fans through a controlled retail rollout.

Overview

  • The Houston Rockets unveiled a new three‑jersey set and refreshed logos Thursday, reintroducing yellow to the primary palette and making the Dunkstronaut a permanent secondary mark.
  • The franchise kept the classic 'R' as its primary logo and added a new triangular 'global' logo inspired by NASA mission patches that features two yellow quasars.
  • Design choices reference the 1994‑95 championship 'ketchup and mustard' era while adding space motifs such as slanted lettering, axis‑roll vertical stripes, and stretched quasar graphics.
  • The team said the uniforms were developed over about three years and announced that jerseys are not yet on general sale but fans can join a mailing list, buy apparel at RocketsShop.com, and visit a retail pop‑up at the George R. Brown Convention Center.
  • Ownership framed the change as a fan‑driven move that aims to tie Houston’s space identity to the club’s legacy, and the phased, limited release could drive demand and shape how fans engage with the new brand.
