New Houston Astros Uniforms

[FooMasterX5]

Did they just say the BP uniforms will be used in Sundays?

Overall upgrade. For changes from old look tithe new look, I probably give them a B+ or A-. I would've loved to have seen the shooting star return, which is the only reason for the drop in grade, but it's still a very good look, that looks naturally traditional without being forced like the black and brick eras were.

From the looks of that video they might actually be an Alt rather than just BP

Orange Cap will be worn on saturdays.

The Astros will be wearing orange caps on Saturday home games, and the B.P. jerseys on Sunday according to the MLB 13: The Show segment of the feed.

Love the hats and BP jersey but everything else is very boring. Road looks almost identical to what Cleveland now wears away from home (which is also very boring)

Did the MLB 13 video say the BP jerseys were going to be worn on Sundays?

That's what the video said. So BP jerseys for regular season games on a consistent basis is something unique

Exactly what I expected, given the leaks.

The only aspects of the new identity package that harken back to the franchise's history are the overall color scheme and the updated version of the original Astros' cap logo. Frankly, that strikes me as being a sign of a missed opportunity identity-wise.

I'm not a fan of the piping on the placket and sleeves of the jerseys, or the pant legs. I equate such piping with a more traditional look and feel that an expansion franchise launched in 1962 bearing a name reflective of the space program should be a bit less "stuffy". I'm not a fan of the decision to go with block lettering on each and every uniform. I'd have preferred a lettering font that was a bit mote stylized, as has always been the case on the uniforms of the Colt .45s/Astros.

Even the underarms and side-panels of the batting practice jerseys amount to nothing more than a more sterile - at best - nod to the Astros' "rainbow" uniform era.

Bottom line? With the exception of the updated version of the 1965-93 cap logo, the entire package strikes me as being underwhelming. Safe. Meh. In fact, I'd go so far as to say that if this is the best they could muster, they'd have been better served simply recoloring their 2001-12 uniforms in a palette of Navy Blue, Orange and White.

I grade it an outright F.

Houston has a Top-5 identity and uniform in the Major Leagues. I personally think it is even better than what the Blue Jays have.

The only good parts of this set are the orange cap and the BP jersey. The rest of it should be taken out back and burned in a dumpster.

Not quite.

Thankfully your opinion has become quite predictable and lacking in any substance or credibility.

Maybe my opinion wouldn't be so predictable if MLB uniforms weren't so predictable.

You clearly have a preference that does not fit the mold of baseball uniforms. They are a more traditional style of uniform, not super modern and flashy with strange designs like other sports. Thats how they are, have been and will be. Maybe you just shouldn't worry about commenting on them because they aren't gonna change to please your standards anytime soon.

If that is the BP (it looks like it is the BP template) and not an alt, then it is a major failure to use a BP as a regular game jersey on Sundays. That's why Majestic introduced COOLBASE, so teams wouldn't have to do that. And the Astros play indoors anyway!

Nice rebrand! Definitely a classic look that harkens back to the days of old. I like the BPs with the tequila sunrise. Nice subtle way of including it without going full-on gaudy across all the unis.

[Lights Out]

There are plenty of baseball uniforms I like, and they aren't all super-modern and flashy. They just also aren't boring block letters on a generic template.

A better look at the caps & jerseys

Very well put.

The tequila sunrise BP jerseys are awesome...

The grey unis remind me of Atlanta's and the white ones remind me of Boston's.

Looking at the pictures earlier in the thread, it doesn't look as bad as I was thinking. In fact, it doesn't look bad at all. However, I still prefer the open star they had to the H-star they moved to. I don't think the open star would work with what they have now, but I would have preferred they designed a look around that rather than their original logo.

Regarding the BP jerseys, I love the idea of the tequila sunrise panels. However, it just doesn't sit well with me. And I think it's because it's just a bad design element.
