Online Shop Leaks New Astros Primary, Wordmark Logos

Love it. Gently caress the haters.

Dig the primary. And I'm sure the cap version looks better actually on the hat then big on a t-shirt as we've only seen (clearly) so far. This is what a baseball team should look like(not that the 'Stros 2000s set was bad by any means). Very classy look.

Generic.

I usually HATE retro and fauxbacks but so far there's nothing I can hate too much. I want to but I can't. Especially when compared with the pinstripes they've been wearing.

Its better than Cowboy Aliens Old West font tha t never matched the name, this is what the Astros should look like.

I really like it.

Not bad definite upgrade

Can't believe I just stumbled across this...

Generic, bland, and boring... par for the course in the MLB.

I love the retro star "H" logo, and I think it would be interesting on a navy cap with an orange bill, but I am tired of these generic circular logos, Even "Astros" in cursive would have been more unique as a primary.

It's amazing how much is coming out about this logo. Real secret, right?! :)

I'm an Astros fan, and I'll be attending the uniform unveiling event on Nov. 2nd, and even though I'm kind of disappointed the logos have been released and the apparent home jersey has been quasi-released, I'm still pretty damn excited for everything else.

They might as well unveil everything now. The logo itself looks very classic especially with the circle around it. Without the star, it would be bland.

You know if they just had an unveiling people would notice for a day and move on. But we've been talking about these for weeks now, so yeah, the big unveil won't be much of a unveil, but I think they've had more publicity than they could have ever hoped for.

Notice the iPhone case with a blue star behind the H... this could be a clue that Houston will have an all-orange hat as well and could lead us to assume Houston will have 3 hats, the blue/orange hat and a blue hat plus an orange hat. Just speculating. Any hints out there that this could be the case?

That product could just be vintage. But the leak and evidence seem reliable.

IM not convinced it could be an Alt and I heard rumor the Mariners may go back to blue and yellow.

I really hope this is the last MLB primary logo that uses the "roundel" as one of the main design elements within its logo. However, I don't think the Astros are the last MLB team to go through a design rebrand (pure speculation folks) in the next few years or use the "roundel" altogether.

The inclusion of the roundel confirms that it is a forced and unnecessary element in order to sell the overall new identity to the audience.

I was hoping it would be orange I like the Astros orange hat better than dark blue.

Yeah, although the roundel does complete the logo in some way, just the star logo would've been enough. In fact, their new main logo could've easily have been a modernized version of their original. Even with the Astrodome design if it had the legs and was shrunk slightly. I have a feeling the Astros will have both an orange and blue version of the star logo with their caps in two colours. If the above photo is any indication of course!

I love that the very first iPhone cover is a shot of LF I'm MMP before the awful wall of adds replaced the view of downtown. Hopefully Crane will continue to listen to fans and take those billboards down and recapture the view of downtown.

Apparently the leaks are the fault of MLB Properties and MLB Advanced Media, which have issued a joint apology: http://sports.yahoo.com/news/astros-apology-logo-leak-001224900--mlb.html

The new Astros' primary logo is typical of the major leagues, but why not bring back the updated orginal Astro's logo sans the Astrodome? The Astros have created a logo that is sharp looking, but similar to that of seven other teams in the league. Then again baseball is a league of traditionalists-button up jerseys, circular logos, and white home and gray away jerseys. It is almost similar to expecting the EPL logos not to feature a shield or crest in a logo.

I like these round logos, just so long as it does't take over the league.

The new tops and bottoms of the legs of the H remind me of home plates. Is that on purpose or what? The primary logo is a little bit too generic for my taste: take the cap logo, put a circle around it and there you go. They could have done more with the space theme. But as a cap logo the new/old star and the H are very good. Love to see an all orange cap with a navy star as an alternative.

Nice and clean, however it is very generic. Not that it is a bad thing kind of wished they would have done just a little bit more.

Would probably prefer if the inner circle looked a bit different, but overall very satisfied with the logo!

The logo is very nice. So glad to see the Star-H I grew up with back! I really hope there will be an orange alternative cap. I'll buy that one for sure. I'll reserve judgment on the uniforms until Friday. The major issue I have with what we know about the uniforms so far is the inclusion of a number in the front instead of the star. Trade the number for the star, and I think the uniforms would be great. Otherwise, we'll have to see how they look on the players.

These are nice and retro works well with the design of their ballpark (just need to change the train to a rocket). Wish they had gone with the 90s look but I don't think it would've matched with the home ballpark theme.

By the way, I think you forgot the Angels circular logo.

What is with everyone and going with circles nowadays?

So Chris C, you coming down for the unveil party on Nov 2nd?

Looking at all the leaks, does the star in the "new" Astros logo look distorted to anyone else? It seems the bottom two points seems disproportionately small/narrow while the side points seem very fat. Plus, the bevel in the star seems funky as well.

Hi there, i read your blog from time to time and i own a similar one and i was just wondering if you get a lot of spam responses? If so how do you stop it, any plugin or anything you can recommend? I get so much lately it's driving me mad so any support is very much appreciated.

Thanks to my father who told me about this website, this weblog is in fact remarkable.
