loogodude90 Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 I would assume it's something Earth Day/Earth week related. Although it feels like it would be a few days late for something like that. That's my best guess, though. WIZARDS ORIOLES CAPITALS RAVENS UNITED Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

infrared41 Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 Green initiative.So in order to be "more green", the Astros go out and get a bunch of new hats made (and the NBA orders a bunch of new t-shirts and head bands.) Is it just me, or doesn't it make more sense to make less disposable stuff if your intention is to "go green." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

loogodude90 Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 I think it really depends on what they end up doing with the caps. If they auction them off and donate the proceeds to some environmental organization, then I guess it makes sense. Also, I've always thought of this green initiative thing as kind of a means to an end. A "you need to spend money to make money" kind of thing. They're spreading awareness of environmental issues by wearing green. If doing stuff like that actually makes people think a little more about being eco-conscious (and act on those thoughts), then mission accomplished. Judging by this, the Astros seem legit about this program, so in the end I think this is more of a good thing than a bad one. It looks like they are "walking the walk" and not just wearing green caps to feel good about themselves.

Bigboy1083 Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 I have a Coca Cola World Cup cap, and it was made from six recycled soda bottles. I think it would be a great idea, for Earth Day/Green Week, if they did something along those lines. Thanks KaTo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a reason that Minute Maid Park looks like a NASCAR track. A quick little story regarding the hypocrisy listed above. I attended an event two summers ago where a few Astros players, along with Drayton and a few front office employees were going to symbolicly plant a few trees in Houston's new Discovery Green Park. The park is located in downtown, about a half mile (if that..) from Minute Maid Park. The gathering of players and personell for the Astros totalled to about 8-9 people. How did they make the 0.5 mile journey? They caravaned in THREE SEPERATE HUMMERS to the location. To add to that they LEFT THE ENGINES RUNNING WHILE THEY PLANTED THE TREES. That was about a 45 minute process. Sorry for the all-caps, but this always bothered me and I'm far from a tree hugger. It bothered me much more in a "hypocritical" way.

OnWis97 Posted April 28, 2011 Share Posted April 28, 2011 If they pair the green caps with not serving every single beverage in a plastic container, then it's cool. Disclaimer: If this comment is about an NBA uniform from 2017-2018 or later, do not constitute a lack of acknowledgement of the corporate logo to mean anything other than "the corporate logo is terrible and makes the uniform significantly worse."
