The Houston Rockets have officially revealed their City Edition jerseys for the 2024-25 NBA season. This new uniform is designed to commemorate the 30th anniversary of the franchise's remarkable back-to-back championship victories in 1994 and 1995, highlighting a significant moment in the team's history.
The Rockets are set to wear the City Edition uniforms during 13 home games this season, with the debut scheduled for a matchup against the Indiana Pacers on November 20. Notably, the trim on the shorts of the uniform is crafted to resemble the shape of the championship banners that hang in their arena. Additionally, the shorts feature a patch that honors the Summit Center, the Rockets' home prior to their move to the Toyota Center before the 2003-04 season.
The backs of the jerseys showcase the stitched signatures of iconic former players Hakeem Olajuwon and Clyde Drexler, accompanied by the rallying slogan 'BELIEVE IT! AGAIN!'—a phrase that resonated deeply with Houston fans during the thrilling 1995 championship run. As the current season progresses, Jalen Green's performance has been noteworthy, averaging a career-high 22.6 points and contributing to the Rockets' 5-3 start. The team, which recently secured a decisive victory over the San Antonio Spurs, is eager to maintain momentum as they aim to achieve a winning season for the first time since 2020.
