Normally I don’t read post on blogs, however I would like to say that this write-up very pressured me to try and do it! Your writing taste has been surprised me. Thanks, very nice post.

Saw depiction of new Astros uni’s at houstonastros.daportfolio.com/gallery/1662715. Are these an earlier version of the ones that were finally approved?

Crappy jerseys for a horrible team. I’m a big fan of old skool/traditional jerseys, however these are too plain. That’s just my opinion.

No I’m not 12 it’s just a funny expression, guess you don’t watch Workaholics… Don’t know how anyone doesn’t like the old H-star logo, I do like the 90’s blue and gold uniforms but the brick red was terrible.

Bob,

Butthurt? What are you, 12? Can we please speak like adults… ? I grew up with the old star and H logo but don’t like it; I’d much prefer the current logo, and no, I don’t have it tattooed anywhere on my body.

Bring back ORBIT the mascot!!! He was definitely better than Junction Jack and deserves to be THE mascot for the Astros. I’d like to see an all-orange hat too, not so big on the two-tone hats for my MLB team.

In reply to SFforlife. I agree with you on the whole AL/NL raw deal with the Astros. It should be the Rockies. But maybe the Astros will have better luck in the AL. Hey come to think of it, teams like the Seahawks, Brewers have had luck swapping conferences.

I’d rather have a more plain look than all the stupid, jumbled designs we see now a days. I just kinda wish they weren’t moving to the AL, they’ve been fixtures of the NL for awhile now, I think they got a raw deal…and I’m a Giants fan. :/

The H-star logo is classic, way better than the current star…all of you complaining probably got tattoos of the current star and now you’re butthurt. Rockets need to take note and go back to the championship logo.

In reply to Chris Creamer. Yeah, anything linking to DaPortfolio or Behance was done by me, actually posted them over on the boards first. Nothing in that project was used by the Astros.

In reply to Aaron. That orange piping will look even cooler if the players wear a navy shirt underneath the jersey. Love the H-star logo, especially if it's modernized as expected.

I, personally, like the current cap logo. The H with the star is ugly, uncreative and symbolizes a losing baseball era in Houston. The Nolan Ryan identity with the cap is the only thing I can think of that would result in some form of nostalgia but he is the owner of a division rival so … bump that!

In reply to Ajibade. Would you like to show me that design please? I just want to see what we could or could've been dealing with for the Astros. If it's anything like the mid to late 90's, that would probably suit this team well.

That will a shame if the uniform turns out to be plain and boring. They have had some bits and pieces to pick, choose, blend and modernize from their past looks. I sent a request to Jim Crane to show him a version I did about 5-7 years ago. He said no. The league was doing the design and they could not accept unsolicited designs. I used the Navy and orange colors with a futuristic font style. Oh well.

As an Astros fan, I was hoping for something a bit better, such as the new design that is on the web, with the round crest and star underneath “ASTROS” with navy hat. That design is awesome!

In reply to Alex Giobbi. Actually, yeah... the 80s Tigers road jersey is a good comparison for colours and front lettering style.

I like it remind me of the pre rainbow era can’t wait to see the logo.

In reply to SportsLogos.Net. So this is basically going to be something along the lines of a 1980's Detroit Tigers jersey?

I really wish it had the shooting star, but I like what I see so far. I live the old school piping. I have been wanting something like this for a while. I wish they would keep the current star logo but with the orange/navy color scheme. I can’t wait for the unveiling. Go Stros!

In reply to Kevin Joseph.

One person’s “boring” is another person’s “classic!” I’m glad they’re going back to their original colors.

Although I’m not usually a fan of the headspoon look, this one appears to have potential.
