Giving the first dynasty its flowers.
The NextStandard'97
Creative Strategy for the Next Era of the Houston Comets.
The Comets didn't just win championships. They set the standard for what women's basketball could become.
Now the opportunity is not just to celebrate that legacy, but to protect its weight and reintroduce it through modern culture, community, fan engagement, and sponsor-ready growth for the next generation.
Not nostalgia.Next.

Giving the first dynasty its flowers while building the next standard.
§ 01 — Reverence
The weight of what came before
The original Houston Comets helped define the WNBA before the league had decades of proof behind it. Sheryl Swoopes, Cynthia Cooper, Tina Thompson, Kim Perrot, and the original dynasty represent more than championships — they represent standard-setting, visibility, resilience, sisterhood, and cultural impact.
The challenge is making the return feel worthy of that foundation without relying only on nostalgia.
