New Houston Rockets Jersey Appears To Have Leaked

James Harden will be on the cover of NBA Live 2018 and the jersey he’s wearing at what’s thought to be the photo shoot is a new Houston Rockets jersey.

Note the Nike logo replacing the Adidas logo and how the bands on the sides point downward in a bowed semi-circle instead of circling around the sleeves.

Here’s Houston’s 2016 - 2017 road jersey for comparison:

If this is the new jersey it’s not a major departure, simply a change of vendor. Personally I don’t find this jersey worth ranking against others. I’ll consider this as a continuation of the Yao jersey, which is now split between Adidas and Nike.

Major decisions about the future of the Rockets logo and colors most likely won’t made until a “sold” sign is slapped on the Toyota Center.
