Kampala Rockets got their second round off to a worst start after losing their opener against Ndejje Angels by forfeiture.

In the first game on Saturday, Kampala Rockets came putting on similar jerseys with opponent Ndejje.

And match commissioner Barbra Okot deemed that the game cannot go on.

Due to clashing jerseys that the teams won, it’s the home team – Kampala Rockets – who were at fault.

@FubaBasketball is always follow the Fiba rules of regarding to jerseys but why don’t they implement all the rules.. Is that court up to Fiba standards to play a league game ? Do you have safety? You have a lot of problems and focusing on jerseys seriously 😂😂 https://t.co/wr0gbI8KZr

They took to court with red and white kits, but per rules, the home team is mandated to wear light colours while the away team puts on dark colours, unless approved.

It’s said that Kampala Rockets are repeated offenders, having been in this colour-clash scenario this season with Namuwongo Blazers at Abja Parks and Rezlife Saints at Lugogo in the first round.

And it’s a big blow for Rockets who have now lost the game 20-00, their ninth loss this season.

It’s win number four for the Ndejje Angels who finished the first round rooted at the bottom.
