<P> Following the 1995 title, the Rockets opted to modernize their look . After a fan contest with over 5,000 entries, the team went with the idea of Missouri City artist Thomas Nash of a rocket orbiting a basketball, which was then reworked by Houston designer Chris Hill . Nash would later sue the Rockets for breach of contract, given they were using his idea despite not having paid the contest prizes . The NBA suggested that the identity should follow the cartoon - inspired imagery that other teams adopted during the 1990s, leading to a rocket painted with sharkmouth nose art orbiting a basketball . Red was retained, but navy blue and silver became the uniform's primary colors . Both the home white and away navy uniforms featured gradient - fading pinstripes and futuristic number fonts, with side stripes of navy fading to red . This was used until the 2002--03 season . </P> <P> The Rockets' current logos and uniforms were introduced in the 2003--04 season, created by New York - based agency Alfafa Studio in association with Japanese designer Eiko Ishioka . The logo is a stylized' R' in the shape of a rocket during takeoff, surrounded by a red orbit streak that can be interpreted as the central circle of a basketball court . Said "R" inspired the team's new custom typeface, designed so that every single digit could be read well from a distance, whether in the arena or on television . Red once again became the dominant color, with silver and black as secondary . In 2009, the Rockets invoked the championship years with an alternate red uniform, featuring gold numbers and side stripes . The Rockets had two sleeved alternate jerseys for the 2015--16 season, an alternate silver - colored uniform whose design referenced the design of NASA's Gemini - Titan rocket, and a red and gold jersey featuring the nickname "Clutch City". For the 2016--17 season, the Rockets began to wear a black alternate uniform . </P> <P> The mascot of the Houston Rockets in the 1980s was called Booster . From 1993 to 1995, the mascot was Turbo, a costumed man that performed acrobatic dunks and other maneuvers . In 1995, the Rockets debuted Clutch the Bear as a second mascot, a large teddy bear - like mascot that performs a variety of acts during the games . After eight years of serving as dual mascots, the performer playing Turbo retired, making Clutch the sole mascot for the team . </P> <P> The Rockets have developed many rivalries within the Western Conference ever since the team returned there in 1980 . Two are intrastate rivalries, with the San Antonio Spurs, who moved along with the Rockets after four years with them in the Eastern Conference, and the Dallas Mavericks, introduced that very season . Houston faced both Texas teams in playoffs since 1980, beating the Spurs three times and losing once . The Rockets lost twice to the Mavericks, while beating them once . Other famed rivalries were with the Los Angeles Lakers, who in the 1980s Showtime era only missed the NBA Finals when beaten by the Rockets, and the Utah Jazz, who the Rockets beat in both championship seasons but were defeated by Utah in five other occasions . </P>
