CubsFanBudMan Posted November 1, 2012 Share Posted November 1, 2012 So, apparently there is some space sloth meme I was unaware of.Same here. I don't know the whole story, but what I've seen here has made me want to seek it out. (Unless that last one was the whole story, in which case, I got a good laugh out of it.)

The Mojo Maniac Posted November 1, 2012 Share Posted November 1, 2012 Anyone know if the Astros plan to apply their branding changes to their AFL prospects' unis immediately like the Marlins did last year? The AFL Rising Stars game is on Saturday and it would be cool to see the new unis in action right away. From San Berdoo to Kalamazoo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soxkrazy Posted November 1, 2012 Share Posted November 1, 2012 Are BP caps usually part of the unveiling in a redesign? They're ditching the 3930s for BP 5950s. I am hoping they'll feature alternate logos like the BPs from 1999 to the early part of this decade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shaydre1019 Posted November 2, 2012 Share Posted November 2, 2012 Will get really crash?? I didn't think the Astros were big enough to generate that sort of thing.I was having a panic attack when they crashed during the nfl unveiling. But I think that pertained to almost every member of this board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bouj Posted November 2, 2012 Share Posted November 2, 2012 It didn't crash for the Blue Jays, it shouldn't crash for the Astros. Lots of posts & opinions, but the level of interest in the NFL is exponentially more than any other single team. Go Astros!Go Texans!Go Rockets!Go Javelinas!

Lights Out Posted November 2, 2012 Share Posted November 2, 2012 It crashed for the Marlins, I think. POTD: 2/4/12 3/4/12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Mojo Maniac Posted November 2, 2012 Share Posted November 2, 2012 It crashed for the Marlins, I think.It did. But now that I think of it, I do agree that it may not crash for the 'Stros. Especially considering how much has already been leaked. From San Berdoo to Kalamazoo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holzmiento Posted November 2, 2012 Share Posted November 2, 2012 They put new awnings up at the team store in the ballpark today, they are navy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bouj Posted November 2, 2012 Share Posted November 2, 2012 They put new awnings up at the team store in the ballpark today, they are navy.I wonder how much has been done inside the park already, or what exactly will be done inside. The giant logo above the video board will obviously change. The roof is open most days, but I haven't been Downtown since the season ended, so I don't know if they already changed the giant logo and just covered it up, or if they are taking it down today, or what.The park has lots of green, so that probably won't change, but any team signage that is brick/black is definitely being changed.

Holzmiento Posted November 2, 2012 Share Posted November 2, 2012 I walked around the park this weekend, everything is brick red. The floors of the concourse, the table tops in will call, everything. I don't know how they will change everything in time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know how they will change everything in time.The next scheduled event for MMP is Paul McCartney, on the 14th. There is nothing else upcoming and they probably won't have anything before the College Classic in the spring. There is plenty of time to make the changes by the time the Astros return.

TheOldRoman Posted November 2, 2012 Share Posted November 2, 2012 It crashed for the Marlins, I think.Yeah, but there was a lot of buzz around the Marlins' set because everybody knew it would be a trainwreck. The Astros' set looks like a run-of-the-mill baseball identity (and that's not a bad thing). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Astros' set looks like a run-of-the-mill baseball identity (and that's not a bad thing).Yeah but also unlike the Blue Jays, the Astros don't have that other huge rebranding to compete with. This is the primary change for the offseason. After this is just minor ones. So a lot of the attention will be paid to it. https://dribbble.com/MakaioCall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheOldRoman Posted November 2, 2012 Share Posted November 2, 2012 It could be, but I don't think anyone is as excited as we were for the Blue Jays change, or at least that's how it seems on this board. We all pretty much know what this will be. At least I'm not nearly as excited. I dunno. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We all pretty much know what this will be. At least I'm not nearly as excited. I dunno.I'm an Astros fan, and I was way more excited for the Jays last year. That logo change was pretty exciting. Based on the reports & leaks, the Astros' changes are boring. The Jays dropped a crappy logo and reinvented their original set. The Astros are apparently pulling a Padres and reverting to a boring version of a piece of their city's past. Go Astros!Go Texans!Go Rockets!Go Javelinas!

The_Admiral Posted November 2, 2012 Share Posted November 2, 2012 The Padres didn't even revert to their past. They just further stripped down their 2004 redesign down to navy blue and varsity block. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
