Probably just the replicas sold at the stadium and team controlled shops. Just like the NHL and NBA I believe. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Authentic jerseys have the swinging friar on one sleeve and Motorola on the other. The replicas only have Motorola. I am irrationally upset about it. Well...if that's a sign of what's to come, I got a good deal buying my latest O's jersey from the team store on Black Friday. I now have all the current blank replicas, which is perfectly fine with me since the team just might have a sponsor patch by the time that rolls around in November.

aawagner011 Posted March 18, 2023 Share Posted March 18, 2023 As a Braves fan, I was nervous at the prospect of a City Connect but had more hope when I saw the first leak of the socks and t-shirt. I am more than okay with this design. They pass my test of still looking like the Braves when I turn on the TV. I don’t like how it literally reads “The A” but there are so many City Connect designs that are absolutely horrible, so I consider these a best case scenario. I’ll be curious to see the full uniform with the cap. Expecting a white panel. The sleeves look like they have a hint of the feather but less pronounced compared to the throwbacks. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dont care Posted March 20, 2023 Share Posted March 20, 2023 2 hours ago, Andrew_Gamer_NZP said: So does this count as one of Houston’s 4 jerseys or are only certain special event uniforms allowed to be added. Like Red Sox couldn’t wear their traditional st Patrick’s day uniforms on Friday. The same uniform they have been wearing for st Patrick’s day for the last 20+ years 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gosioux76 Posted March 20, 2023 Share Posted March 20, 2023 Maybe this is an unpopular opinion, but that gold looks terrible next to the orange. Assuming this will only be worn for opening weekend, it would have made more sense to drop the orange and just go with gold and navy. And it's not like this franchise hasn't worn those colors before. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the gold looks better next to the Astros' orange than it looked on the uniforms of the Red Sox or of the Giants (which, yes, include orange) or of any other team that I can think of having seen it on. In my opinion the whole practice of adding gold shouldn't be done at all; but aesthetically that colour goes well with the Astros' set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Digby Posted March 20, 2023 Share Posted March 20, 2023 I think it’s more that it doesn’t go with the current Astros aesthetic. I’m getting tequila sunset vibes from that champions patch — maybe it’s the lack of white. But then it looks less nice in the old timey font and next to the single-layer orange head spoon. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they are selling these everywhere with the ad space, I'm not a fan of that. I'm also of the belief that if a soccer jersey costs $100 it should look the same as the version the players wear and have the same patches the on field shirt has, just a little looser. Looking at you MLS!!!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, this was my reaction. I agree that the colors work well together on that patch because the colors are blended together. But on the uniforms, it looks like the blue-and-gold numbers and letters were forced onto an Astros jersey. The colors don't complement each other; they look like a mistake.

Looks like this set will fall into the category of City Connect designs that look like they could be a team's regular alternate (a la the White Sox) rather than looking like the uniform of a completely different team. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not a terrible opinion. It's the option that many people have of the Anaheim Ducks colors (black, gold/bronze and orange). The orange and the gold are of the same tone therefore they complete/clash with each other. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
