BamaHater Posted June 16, 2006 Share Posted June 16, 2006 Why is it that the Star H logos on hats and such lack detail. All New Era hats have the star with raised detail and look really good. When you get a Nike, American Needle, Twins Interprise they use a flat, bland looking star. Just curious. It looks goofy with the plain looking no detail star.New Era HatAmerican Needle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBM Posted June 16, 2006 Share Posted June 16, 2006 My guess is the flat star is cheaper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Green Meanie Posted June 16, 2006 Share Posted June 16, 2006 If it comes between a detailed star with a flat H or a flat star with a detailed H, I'd take the latter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swisherHOU Posted June 17, 2006 Share Posted June 17, 2006 If your looking for accuracy, go with the flat. Raised logos on hats have only been around for about a decade or so. And they are evil. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, the New Era cap is correct. I have one of the old orange polyester caps (purchased in 1980) and the navy cap that is pictured and they did have that threading pattern on the star. The star is not raised, but that pattern is there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HurricaneDavid Posted June 18, 2006 Share Posted June 18, 2006 It looks goofy with the plain looking no detail star. The original logo and original hats of the time had a "plain looking no detail star." If you ask me, adding detail into the star post mortem is INCREDIBLY goofy, not to mention inaccurate.

Fred T. Jane Posted June 19, 2006 Share Posted June 19, 2006 http://home.comcast.net/~scottj3232/Astros3.jpg [Croatia National Team Manager Slavan] Bilic then went on to explain how Croatia's success can partially be put down to his progressive man-management techniques. "Sometimes I lie in the bed with my players. I go to the room of Vedran Corluka and Luka Modric when I see they have a problem and I lie in bed with them and we talk for 10 minutes." Maybe Capello could try getting through to his players this way too? Although how far he'd get with Joe Cole jumping up and down on the mattress and Rooney demanding to be read his favourite page from The Very Hungry Caterpillar is open to question. --The Guardian's Fiver, 08 September 2008 Attention: In order to obtain maximum enjoyment from your stay at the CCSLC, the reader is advised that the above post may contain large amounts of sarcasm, dry humour, or statements which should not be taken in any true sort of seriousness.

HurricaneDavid Posted June 19, 2006 Share Posted June 19, 2006 Interesting pic, that's news to me. The official logo certainly always had a flat star. I have a few New Era Astros hats from the 80s and they all have the flat star. Do you know what year that pic is from? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Judging from the fact that there is no rainbow stripe on the shoulders, it would have to be 1986 or earlier. As I mentioned earlier in the thread, I have an orange (polyester) New Era cap purchased in 1980 as well as a navy version, also purchased in 1980, and both have that pattern.
