Men's Houston Rockets Basketball Short Sleeve Jersey- 1996 Season
From the opening tip to the final buzzer, Houston Rockets colors carry the room. This Short Sleeve jersey is built for the pace of the modern game and the people who follow every possession. A Houston Rockets piece that works as hard off the court as it does courtside.
The Hardwood Classics Edition is the version most supporters picture when they think of the Houston Rockets look. Color blocking and team graphics sit where you expect them, so the jersey reads correctly from across a stadium. Machine wash cold with similar colors and avoid ironing directly over the print. The Men's Short Sleeve shape is cut for airflow and movement rather than a tight silhouette.

WHAT YOU GET
- Detail-conscious finish- clean seams and graphics placed where they belong.

- Hardwood Classics Edition build- the fan-focused version of the Houston Rockets look, made for regular wear.
- Short Sleeve comfort- a cut that works on its own or layered over a hoodie.
BUILT FOR SUPPORTERS
Designed from the supporter's side of the rail: the short sleeve silhouette mirrors the matchday look, but every detail is tuned for ordinary wear rather than ninety minutes of contact.
MOISTURE-MANAGING KNIT
Breathable elastic stretch performance mesh with enough stretch to cheer, climb stairs, and celebrate properly- comfort that holds for the whole fixture.
ATHLETIC CUT
Slightly tailored through the shoulders and chest for a clean, sporty silhouette that works for both game days and casual street styling.
STYLE IT YOUR WAY
It works three ways: over a hoodie in cold weather, on its own in the sun, or under an open shirt when you want the colors to peek through.
STYLE NOTES
The short sleeve cut is easy to style- clean denim and trainers for a stadium run, joggers for travel days, or a zip hoodie on top when the temperature drops.
WASH SMART
Cold water, inside out, with similar colors. That single habit does most of the work.
QUALITY CHECK
Inspected before shipping for accurate team colors, clean stitching, and solid construction.
SIZING TIP
Runs true to size. Size up if you prefer a looser fit or room to layer underneath.
