Gfonk04 Posted November 20, 2011 Share Posted November 20, 2011 I loved the Astros late 90's scripts, but I also love the colors and the side panels used on the early 90's uniform, so I decided to make a hybrid, with this concept pretty much being the result. The colors are very Southwestern, but the scripts and logos are more futuristic. I realize the red jersey bp got cut off, but when I tried to fix it all the other jerseys got cut off on top. I created 2 cap logos, combining a star with an H or an A.This would be my ideal Astros look, with "Sun Orange", "Mars Red", and "Space Navy" being the colors."Space Navy," aka "Star Fleet."Nailed it!!!

Kramerica Industries Posted November 20, 2011 Share Posted November 20, 2011 I don't mind orange at all. Navy and orange is a striking combo that is probably symbolic of their best, and least garish, set in franchise history.I'm awful when it comes to drawing up concepts, but I think the idea of pure black and white is my favorite idea tossed around in here, only because that's what one sees when they look up at the sky during night hours - millions of white stars against a pitch black background. It fits into what their motif should be - astronomy. I understand the White Sox look-a-like issue here, but how many damned teams, AL and NL, use navy and red in some form? I find there being "only" two teams with similar color schemes not nearly as bad by comparison. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldschoolvikings Posted November 20, 2011 Share Posted November 20, 2011 I've posted several times that a modernized variation of this would be my ideal set, maybe heavier on the orange:THIS is a great uniform, just sitting and waiting for an update, ala this year's Bluejays.I love the 70's rainbows (yeah, I'm that guy) but even I'm not crazy enough to think it would work on an everyday basis now. The shooting star set is a keeper, though. http://dstewartpaint.blogspot.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aci Posted November 20, 2011 Share Posted November 20, 2011 I love the idea of a black-copper-white colour scheme, and the Astros are the Big Four team best suited for the look by far.

BBTV Posted November 20, 2011 Share Posted November 20, 2011 Admiral wins. Maybe replace some of the orange with navy, and tighten up the left side gap between the shooting star lines.

Magnum Posted November 20, 2011 Share Posted November 20, 2011 You think the orange is going to be regular orange? I would think something closer to burnt orange or brick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

a3uge Posted November 20, 2011 Share Posted November 20, 2011 So as im sure moat of you have heard, the Stros will be moving to the al west in 2013. I came across this and it says cranes gonna get feedback from fans regardin logos and uniforms etc.http://blog.chron.com/ultimateastros/2011/11/17/jim-crane-officially-approved-as-astros-new-owner-move-to-al-will-be-official-soon/The best part of the article are the comments complaining about the Brewers not moving back to the AL because of Selig, who currently owns the Brewers apparently.

McCall Posted November 21, 2011 Share Posted November 21, 2011 Well the Brewers should NOT have been considered, as neither should have the Astros, though they make more geographical sense. But neither had to with Arizona and Colorado as prime candidates. https://dribbble.com/MakaioCall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Admiral Posted November 21, 2011 Share Posted November 21, 2011 But all the lettering is too "Bengals-esque", basic rounded letters and numbers with the outline-drop shadow.Between outline, drop shadow, vertical arching, italic, and the shooting star, there's no room for a complex typeface. The treatment is more important. Had some sort of Space Age comic book in mind when I did this.

RuffDawg Posted November 21, 2011 Share Posted November 21, 2011 Buc, I love your concept. The black-orange combination, logos, number font, everything looks really slick.Whatever they do, please just lose the pinstripes. I don't know why any team not named the Yankees still thinks this looks good. (Come to think of it, I don't know why the Yankees still think it looks good either but at the risk of invoking Hell, I'll just back away from that one.) There comes a point when you don't stand for the constant heartbreak anymore, and walk away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Admiral Posted November 21, 2011 Share Posted November 21, 2011 The Yankees, Mets, Cubs, White Sox, Twins, and Brewers are the only teams that need pinstripes. The Phillies would look good in maroon pinstripes, but the red ones make them look pink. I like them, but not so much that every team should have them. Consider that in the last ten years, we've lost pinstripes on the Padres, Expos, Diamondbacks, and Marlins, at least. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(I'd like one team to keep them/add them on the road. Cubs, step up.)If one team were to adopt road pinstripes, the Cubs would be perfect. IMO they had the only good-looking road pinstripes in baseball history:I think a button-up gray version of this would look sharp (provided that the pinstripes were blue). Anyone willing/able to mock one up? From San Berdoo to Kalamazoo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
