Old School Fool Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 When I first saw the H Star, I questioned where this was going but that main logo is awesome. If the Primary was just the H Star, I would've been really annoyed. Good update, I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McCall Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 Does it appear that the numbers on the jersey leak have the angled serifs like the H and wordmark? If so, nice touch of consistency. https://dribbble.com/MakaioCall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ToyFrisbee Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 Well, the new primary posted on the main blog site looks very nice. No beveling (or whatever the dual orange is) would certainly look better than whatever they're going for here, but I think the roundel logo looks great. My guess is the final uniform won't break any new ground or shake the design world, will look dignified and classic, and will still be more exciting than, say, the Padres.Amen.

ToyFrisbee Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 The primary roundel logo is very classic and simple. The dark navy and orange looks terrific. I wonder if the jerseys will have the single star above or situated around the wordmark like the found iPhone cover suggests.Speaking of classic unis, the Giants' road unis are on TV now a la World Series and I look at them as very simple and elegant - plain grey, piping, block numerals, etc. But when you dissect the parts and look at it, it might be considered pretty boring. The "San Francisco" wordmark is about as plain as it gets. What we've seen of the Astros so far suggests a similar move and I think it's a huge upgrade from the train station, Sherriff Blaylock's nachos, black brick and sand baloney.

Firefly Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 Didn't see the roundel until now but I know I called it awhile back. I've been holding mu tongue for Friday's reveal but I now sure this will be as disappointing as the very concept of the 'Stros going the AL. Roundel with hat logo is very quickly becoming shorthand for "no risk" Would it to have killed to to make at least a nod to old logo and drop in an orbiting baseball or two?

CS85 Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 H-Star is awesome, but that roundel is ungodly boring. I don't mind roundels, but at least give it some flavor.

ColeJ Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 you know.... there's 2 ways to look at it. one way is to say it's another boring roundel that is not unique from the rest of the logos in the league...but another way to look at it is to say that it looks really nice, clean, and classy. i approve of it WAY more than i expected i would.

AkSaber Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 So this means 4 of the 5 AL West teams will have a roundel logo.Part of me wonders if the Astros did this just to fit in better in their new home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

njmeadowlanders Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 That's not the Angels primary logo though. They go with the standalone Halo-A. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bouj Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 The Astros acknowledged the leak via their FB and let everyone know the real excitement was still to come on Friday. Go Astros!Go Texans!Go Rockets!Go Javelinas! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DC in Da House w/o a Doubt Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 Dislike. I hated the Astros most recent uniforms like most, but the logo and colors were fine. They could have just upgraded their uniforms instead of doing a complete overhaul. The throwback look is getting a little overplayed. I mean this overhaul isnt even unique or creative. And let me guess, an orange alt jersey? I bet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's too many navy teams in baseball right now, be unique - be orange. Quote "You are nothing more than a small cancer on this message board.

I think they could make it work with a classic look and an orange hat, as long as the numbers and wordmarks were orange with navy outlines. They did it in the '60s before the rainbow sets. However, the most important thing is to either pick navy or orange to be the primary and run with it. Don't have one be the primary at home and the other on the road. Don't have a navy cap for some games and then an orange cap for others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jstraper Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 So sad they're abandoning the truly unique open star look. Still, the new set is okay, just...sleepy. That's fine I guess. I mean, it'll sell merchandise locally.It just looks too much of trying to be Rangers-y. That's just not the Astros identity.Overall, combined with the move to the AL, it's very difficult to be excited about this new design. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SJAnfield Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 Personally, I think that logo makes up for the 2012 season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
