NBA releases uniform schedule for Rockets to begin 2020 playoffs

The NBA updated its LockerVision website Sunday with details on the specific uniforms to be worn by each team in confirmed playoff games.

All playoff games will be played inside the league’s Disney World “bubble” complex in Central Florida. Four of the eight series will begin Monday, while the remaining four — including West No. 4 Houston versus No. 5 Oklahoma City — will start on Tuesday.

Per Locker Vision, the Rockets will wear their black Nike Statement jerseys, which have “Houston” across the front, in Tuesday’s Game 1 and also for Game 4 on Monday, Aug. 24.

Houston’s red Icon uniforms, which feature the team’s usual red color scheme along with its latest logo and a revised font, will be the choice for Thursday’s Game 2. Finally, the space-inspired City uniforms — white with “H-Town” across the front — will be worn in Saturday’s Game 3. That keeps with Houston’s “Space City Saturdays” theme from this season.

The Rockets are not scheduled to wear their white Association jerseys, which are similar in design (but not color) to the red Icon set. They are also not scheduled to wear their red Classic jerseys, which they went 0-2 while wearing in recent “seeding” games at the bubble.

The Thunder will wear their orange Statement jerseys with “OKC” across the front in Game 1 and Game 3, while they will don white Association jerseys with “Thunder” across the front for Game 2 and Game 4.

Uniform sets for future playoff games and series will not be released until those game dates and matchups are confirmed.
