The_Admiral Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 It's not every team, but a lot of them play their final exhibition games at home, or a place close to home, or a neutral site. There have been Cubs-Sox spring games in Vegas for a while now. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

poser Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 The Giants gold trim jerseys will be based on the road alternate!Man I wish so hard that jersey was orange rather than cream, but it's hard to complain about a championship jersey.I REALLY hope this doesn't lead to the Giants adding plackett piping to their regular home jerseys. But, if they made a home alt that was similar to the road in everything but the color, I'd be fine with that.Ideally, they would leave their regular home and road set piping free, while adding three alts (home, road, alt) with the SF logo and the piping. I know I know, it's jersey overkill. But in a sport where you play 162 games a season, it wouldn't be too offensive IMO (but I'm sure some of you would still disagree).The only reason they went with this jersey is to sell more merch.. if they wore the normal home jerseys again nobody would buy them.

zpqmaowl Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 Correct me if I'm wrong, but don't the Rockies have 2 patches already? Not sure what they'd do with this one.The patch is being worn on the chest, similar to a hockey captain's C. the worst helmets design to me is the Jacksonville jaguars hamlets from 1995 to 2012 because you can't see the logo vary wall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sport Posted April 1, 2013 Share Posted April 1, 2013 Less than one game in and the Astros plain radially arched block wordmark is already tired. If anybody should have a stylized wordmark across their chests it's the Astros.At least they're in the correct colors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cujo Posted April 1, 2013 Share Posted April 1, 2013 Oh man, the Astros look TERRIBLE.Better than the Rangers at least. No. Not really.The Astros' previous identity was gold.

lahaye7 Posted April 1, 2013 Share Posted April 1, 2013 Agree , this isn't 1965. Hell, if they had gone full tequila sunrise I'd have been happy. Looks like a team that should have a Denny's sponsorship on the back. Less than one game in and the Astros plain radially arched block wordmark is already tired.

FiddySicks Posted April 1, 2013 Share Posted April 1, 2013 I'm just gonna pull a bit from what I put in the Thrift Store Gems thread. Look, I know that a lot of people really love when the Astros dress like the Tigers because it reminds them of the days when they were playing on the living room carpet and somehow being even more forgettable competitively than they are right now, but there is NO WAY this change can even be considered a lateral move. They look terrible. D Backs need to return to purple and teal, and the Stros never should've ditched the black and brick. At least not for this crap. This change is by far the change I've disliked the most since I started paying attention to logos and uniforms.

sportstar1212 Posted April 1, 2013 Share Posted April 1, 2013 The Astros look great. I would just wear the orange-billed cap with every jersey. The all blue cap looks boring, IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BJBerthiaume Posted April 1, 2013 Share Posted April 1, 2013 Sharp. That's how I describe these 'Stros unis. They look like baseball uniforms. The team looks sharp. Good uniform. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shumway Posted April 1, 2013 Share Posted April 1, 2013 Sharp. That's how I describe these 'Stros unis. They look like baseball uniforms. The team looks sharp. Good uniform.This is pretty much how I see them, too. Are they extraordinarily unique? Absolutely not, but I can't say anything bad about the way they look.

Coyote Posted April 1, 2013 Share Posted April 1, 2013 I love the Astros' new color set. Everything but the "ASTROS" wordmark is sharp. Though the all blue hat needs more orange Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DC in Da House w/o a Doubt Posted April 1, 2013 Share Posted April 1, 2013 Houston's new hats are sweet, but I think the jersey is awful. Near the bottom of the entire MLB for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They maybe could've done a re-color to navy and orange, but these new unis are a bore.Fool's gold, maybe. But the Olde Weste look was ludicrously incongruous for a team named after the Space Age. Silly all around. Meanwhile, the Rangers are still saddled with those awful black dropshadows muddying up their look. Couple that with the thorny font and their NoBs are damn near illegible. They don't need a radical overhaul as the Astros did, but they sure as hell need a tweak. The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog.
