cheo25 Posted March 22, 2018 Share Posted March 22, 2018 I like (actually I don't like) how the Astros used the '90s to try to "bring sanity" to their uniforms. I thought they were an upgrade at the time. In hindsight, they started the Astros on a long and terrible journey away from their visual identity, and it took 20 years to get back there. At least these were better than the even more boring red-and-black (I refused to refer to them as brick, sand or any other marketing garbage) that came out in 2000.

Just to head this off before it happens, every time this uniform gets brought up, you'll get a handful of posts say "best they've ever looked." Which is nonsense. http://dstewartpaint.blogspot.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BC985 Posted March 22, 2018 Share Posted March 22, 2018 As someone who was born in ‘85, and grew up in the 90s, I wonder how much the Nickelodeon channel influenced the introduction of cartoonish logos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think there was a direct connection, but some of the same thought process as far as marketing directly to kids was there...the 90s were when the "sports as family entertainment" mindset really took hold (as opposed to something geared principally towards adults who were fans of the sport) - and what's a kid more likely to want on his t-shirt, this: or this?: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[shameless self-plug] I simulated what would have happened if the Astros followed the gradient trend instead of the metallic gold one. It looked mildly better. [/shameless self-plug] They would have replaced it by 2000, but it would have kept more visual continuity in their brand.
