HurricaneDavid Posted September 30, 2005 Share Posted September 30, 2005 I wasn't particularly fond of this Houston - Celebrating 45 Years patch:...so I made these concepts. Credit to Sharpjoker for incorporating the Colt 45s logo (can't believe I didn't think of that one). I know they would probably be very hard to replicate as sleeve patches, but here they are: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WSU151 Posted September 30, 2005 Share Posted September 30, 2005 Nice work! I really like all of those! Smart is believing half of what you hear. Genius is knowing which half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jkrdevil Posted September 30, 2005 Share Posted September 30, 2005 My only suggestion is you incorporate the period in the 45 to better convey Colt 45's/Astros. It looks good however, I surprised the Astros didn't put something of the Colt .45's in their since that was their original name and it's their 45th year.

The_Admiral Posted September 30, 2005 Share Posted September 30, 2005 See, you're giving the Astros design team too much credit. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrBear Posted September 30, 2005 Share Posted September 30, 2005 While it's cute, saying this would be the Astros' .45 anniversary would mark 72.9 games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

appleclock Posted October 1, 2005 Share Posted October 1, 2005 Those are very nice. Put a little orange into it and you cover all the bases. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VitaminD Posted October 1, 2005 Share Posted October 1, 2005 Best of all, thank you a million times over for not using the word "ANNIVERSARY" anywhere on the concept. Thank you for getting it right where so many screw it up; this was the Astros' 45th SEASON. Anniversaries don't start until 1 year after the initial event, just like birthdays. Major pet peeve avoided. The Republic stands. "Start spreading the news... They're leavin' today... Won't get to be a part of it... In old New York..."In order for the Mets' run of 12 losses in 17 games to mean something, the Phillies still had to win 13 of 17. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CFSize24 Posted October 1, 2005 Share Posted October 1, 2005 One slight tweak I would have tried is replace the dash in 1962-2006 with a baseball, since there are no baseball marks on the patch at all. It may not work because it is too small, but since it is 45 years of baseball I would try to incorporate something that says baseball. At any rate your work is much better than what they are actually using, Nice job man.

TBGKon Posted October 1, 2005 Share Posted October 1, 2005 I have to agree sice the Astros used to be know as the Colt 45's that a patch similar to your concepts using the "$%" would have been included Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chief. Posted October 4, 2005 Share Posted October 4, 2005 I really like the second and third ones, not feeling the white. Nice work overall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
