KGeeX5 1,142 Posted November 2, 2017 The locker room tshirts for the world series were actually pretty nice! The font looks so much better solidly filled without the weird bezels. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sport 14,641 Posted November 2, 2017 I goofed around with an old alternate logo concept of mine for a fantasy baseball team called the Moons. Realized it could work for the Astros and threw a pennant on his bat after the game last night. 23 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Looks like a goofy face sticking out his tongue. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

(Now to dig up my reaction from when it was first posted years ago, see how consistent I am. ) To me, it's no different than the W dominating the Hartford Whalers logo, with the H hiding in the negative space. If anything, the H is more prominent in this logo even if it is the lower half of the logo. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The primary logo is too small to work with your astronaut. Maybe something like one of these for the shoulder instead: 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SilverBullet1929 3,255 Posted November 2, 2017 That would make an excellent mascot-like sleeve patch like the swinging friar, the barrel man, mr met, mr red, etc. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I used Mr Redlegs as a reference however many years ago I made the original. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gothamite 24,653 Posted November 2, 2017 I think it shows an obvious influence without being a direct copy. Puts it squarely in the legacy of mascot logos in MLB, which is excellent work. 7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Silent Wind of Doom 851 Posted November 2, 2017 It's nice, but I don't think it fits on the uniform or in the ballpark (unless in a children's club capacity) because it doesn't fit the old-time look of both. 7 hours ago, Gothamite said: Meh.

And I say that because I didn't see it until you brought it up. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ark 2,886 Posted November 4, 2017 I wish Houston would have stuck with the Randy Johnson set. They would probably still be wearing them today. That star is still the best logo in team history 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
