Victormrey Posted September 10, 2016 Share Posted September 10, 2016 Yet another MLB tweak idea instead of continuing the Premier League x Baseball crossover? Well, I'm kinda burned out of the series. I will obviously finish it, but I want to design other things meanwhile as well. It's time for the Houston Astros. I think the Astros have a really nice colour scheme, but their current identity is a bit bland. That's why I decided to bring back the "Tequila Sunrise" scheme, which is the prefered by most of the people. I have applied the Tequila Sunrise pattern to the wordmarks and logos, instead of using just orange. I have also used it changing the orange shades for blue: The uniforms feature the gradient on the cuffs, pants, socks and numbers, keeping havy as secondary colour: These are the sleeve logos: Props to @Carolingian Steamroller and @MJD7, whose great Astros designs inspired these ideas. C&C appreciated! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rsaline Posted September 10, 2016 Share Posted September 10, 2016 I really like the orange gradient, but the blue doesn't seem to have the same effect. Stirrups are gorgeous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Lucas Posted September 10, 2016 Share Posted September 10, 2016 I'm loving it!!! It's subtle yet genius. Great work, I'd like to see what the numbers would look like. And maybe 'HOUSTON' on the orange one so that they don't have 3 'ASTROS.' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coco1997 Posted September 10, 2016 Share Posted September 10, 2016 Gorgeous work! The tequila sunrise on the wordmarks looks simply fantastic. I agree with @rsaline that the blue "moonrise" pattern doesn't work as well, but otherwise great job. This is a great teaser for your full MLB Series (though I do hope you decide to finish your Premier League series, too). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJD7 Posted September 10, 2016 Share Posted September 10, 2016 I appreciate the kind words! I would say this is good use of a few of mine and @Carolingian Steamroller's ideas, as well as putting your own nice, unique spin on them. Good job!

Given the navy uniform is the alt road one, how about using the Houston wordmark for it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Lucas Posted September 11, 2016 Share Posted September 11, 2016 You and @Carolingian Steamrollerhave really done the Astros proud. Honestly, great work, Gentlemen. If they implemented either set (or some combination of both like CS's H/R and your alts), I'd be elated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's true that the design it's similar to the Mets style, but I just used their current secondary logo in the alternate colours, but in a brighter shade Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morgan33 Posted September 11, 2016 Share Posted September 11, 2016 The white and grey uniforms are simply stunning. I love the subtle use of the gradient and how you incorporated it into the logo. The new "moonrise" gradient is certainly an improvement though it still does't work as well as the "sunrise." If I had one recommendation, it would be to incorporate the sunrise into the orange uniform instead. Though I'm not sure how you would do that without coming across contrast issues. At any rate this is a fantastic concept and exactly what the real team should do. Props! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GriffinM6 Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 This is a really good idea, but I think that you should only use the gradient on the jerseys. The pants and socks is too much. Wordmarks and logos are fantastic though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coco1997 Posted September 13, 2016 Share Posted September 13, 2016 Maybe a little bit too much orange on that jersey. I'd stick with the moonrise version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
