Rockets Bring Back Iconic "Ketchup & Mustard" Uniforms
4 Jun
Summary
- New uniforms celebrate the Rockets' championship-winning teams from the 1990s.
- Classic red, yellow, and white colors, dubbed "ketchup and mustard," are returning.
- Uniforms will debut in the 2026-27 NBA season.
The Houston Rockets are set to reintroduce their highly anticipated "ketchup and mustard" uniforms. These new designs directly honor the team's iconic red-and-yellow colors worn during their back-to-back NBA championship victories in the 1990s. This move comes after significant fan demand, with the team's vice chairman emphasizing a commitment to celebrating the franchise's rich history.
The updated uniforms will feature subtle yet significant alterations to the current home white, road red, and alternate black sets. A key element is the return of the "Championship Yellow" trim, a hallmark of the 1994 and 1995 title-winning teams. Pinstripes will also be a prominent feature.
Additionally, the uniforms will showcase the popular "Dunkstronaut" logo, which aims to merge past and present, reinforcing the team's connection to Houston's "Space City" identity. The white and black jerseys will bear "Houston" across the chest, while the red jerseys will display "Rockets." These uniforms are scheduled to debut in the 2026-27 NBA season.
