Why is Houston called h-town for short?

The Rockets released a huge poster

On July 27, Beijing time, Howard's joining has ignited many fans' expectations for the Rockets to compete for the championship. Recently, a huge poster appeared in Houston. The poster clearly says: "H"-TOWN. On both sides of this logo are the large heads of Harden and Howard——

"H "-What does TOWN plus the large portraits of Harden and Howard mean? First of all, this must be related to Harden and Howard. After analysis, the "H" in this logo is the first letter in both Harden and Howard's names. "H"-TOWN may represent the combination of Harden and Howard. A super duo, and their combination is also the future expectation of the Houston Rockets. In other fields, using one letter plus TOWN also often appears, such as the O-TOWN group, which was originally a music group composed of five boys and became a great success in the end.

It is worth noting that in every different Rockets period, there will be different slogans. I still remember that when Yao Ming first went to the Rockets, the Rockets used a new slogan called "Create a Big Scene." Under Yao Ming's leadership, the Rockets really created a whirlwind in the league. After that, the Rockets launched the slogan "Get popular", and Yao Ming also performed better and better, growing from a rookie to a super center in the league, and the Rockets also accumulated a lot of popularity for this. These inspiring slogans reflect the entire atmosphere of this team for a certain period of time, and also remind fans to pay more attention to this team when the season comes.

When Yao Ming was still in the Rockets, the Rockets’ slogan was generally based on the main idea of ??“achieving a better record, and even hitting the championship.” At that time, the Rockets were also strong, and the team not only had Only Yao Mai, who is called second only to the "OK combination" by experts and fans, and some other good role players. The Rockets' boss also doubled his worth.

After Jeremy Lin and others joined the Rockets last summer, the Rockets also launched a resounding slogan: "A new era." This slogan reflected that the Rockets lineup had a completely new look. Many old faces had left the team, and many new players appeared on the team, showing a new atmosphere. The Rockets also hoped that these players could create a new era for the fans. era.
