Arts11 Posted May 23, 2011 Share Posted May 23, 2011 Go ahead... try to pretend this picture doesn't make you happy. Whatever you say I won't believe you.Yeah, had those come out in the '00s or were a more recent design, I probably wouldn't have liked them at all, but just b/c they're so old and sorta tied into my childhood [i believe they were already gone or were being phased out when I was getting into baseball, so most of my early memories of them were via baseball cards] I have a soft spot for them. I still think that "H Star" hat logo is the best they've had. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McCall Posted May 23, 2011 Share Posted May 23, 2011 This is the greatest uniform of all-time.Hoping that was sarcasm there.And CWX, how about replacing the sand with gold? Using gold as a minimal accent could help tie in the 90's look they had. https://dribbble.com/MakaioCall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeh-see Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 This is the greatest uniform of all-time.I have to say, honestly, the colors/striping remind me of the Kirk McLean/Trevor Linden era Vancouver Canucks colors, which I do like.UJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cajunaggie08 Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 Yes! That looks great. I may have to use those in a concept just to see how sand plays with the blue and orange. As for UT burnt orange, it wouldn't go over too well with all the Texas A&M supporters within the Astros fanbase. Heck, I know a woman who commutes from College Station to Houston each day. One would think, "Man, that seems dumb," but you have to understand she is an Aggie.Yeah...they might not want to call it "Burnt Orange". Maybe just Orange, or Terracotta, or something else...definitely gonna need to pass on calling it burnt orange. Got no problem with the past oranges the stros use, just avoid the burnt orange Speaking of Ags support for the Astros. Coming up soon will be Aggie Night at Minute Maid Park. They will be passing out Maroon astros caps to the first 1000 fans. I'm sure there will be a corresponding UT night in the following weeks. So perhaps we'll get to see a real life version of the current astros hat in burnt orange. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burmy Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 Anything would be fine...as long as they go back to the outer-space theme and away from the train one...they're the Astros, not the Express. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee. Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 I will not have anyone calling down the 70's - 80's era Astros sets. Anyone. Welcome to DrunjFlix Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TBGKon Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 Odd thought, but could Texas A&M maroon and Texas burnt orange, be a good pairing.Maybe so... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fjm Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 Since we're shamelessly plugging old concepts, I thought I'd throw my Astros one from about a year ago into the mix. (I've done very few concepts ever, so I wouldn't mind a few extra people seeing it.)It's not rendered nearly as well as the others, but hopefully it'll give you the general feeling for what I'm going for. 80's colors but without the rainbow, and a mix of some current and traditional elements.Astros concept Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just having that bright yellow helps a lot in punching up the look. Current look is just so drab. San Diego is not a drab place.

The_Admiral Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 It's also not a Taco Bell that didn't get around to putting up the new purple signage, either, so... ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DustDevil61 Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 Odd thought, but could Texas A&M maroon and Texas burnt orange, be a good pairing.Maybe so...Not a bad thought. It would certainly be unique. I quite liked the Navy/Metallic Gold Astros look, as well as the toned-down rainbow look of the 1980s.What about a Navy/Metallic Gold/Orange look?And since we're throwing out concepts, here's another couple ideas: Brick Red/Slate Gray/Orange, from my paint days:Looks futuristic enough and dips into the team's history, with the orange.Also, my Inkscape concept of Orange/Navy/Brown:Logos:Again, keeping some form of Texas rustic-ness by using brown while mostly reverting to the Orange/Navy look of years past. http://i.imgur.com/Pyc5qRH.gifhttp://i.imgur.com/RDXvxFE.gif LED Sig Credits to packerfan21396 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
