Across the chest is “NOLA”, shortform for “New Orleans, Louisiana” across the chest in gold letters styled like the famous architecture of the city. Around each sleeve is a green and gold stripe (the Rockets’ new uniforms unveiled earlier this week also featured this same design), an “NO/basketball” logo at the front collar.
