Funky Bunky Posted November 3, 2012 Share Posted November 3, 2012 Remember when I said I saw that cap at Lids? Well, I was kind of right! I realize they used it last year too, but I was still sort of right. Why would Lids carry old throwback hats from the previous season anyways?

They wore it as a throwback cap in 2012, which just ended. The new ones are different, even in the slightest, and were just unveiled. You did not see the new ones. https://dribbble.com/MakaioCall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rmackman Posted November 3, 2012 Share Posted November 3, 2012 Alright, it was fun talking Astros debut with everyone, but I must go now. 'tis Friday night, and this will be me in about an hour or two:Peace out! "Every morning in Africa, a gazelle wakes up. It knows it must run faster than the fastest lion or it will be eaten.

DC in Da House w/o a Doubt Posted November 3, 2012 Share Posted November 3, 2012 Wow those are TERRIBLE. So boring, they look like a high school team! Good god. Give me Miami's threads all day over these. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You did not see the new ones.Looking back at some pictures, you're right again. The shaping of the H is different on this year's cap. I thought they just brought over the cap from last year, which would kind of make me right in a way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldschoolvikings Posted November 3, 2012 Share Posted November 3, 2012 Obviously a major upgrade over what they've been wearing... loving the caps.I'm pretty down about the lack of shooting star, though. For some reason I had pretty much convinced myself it was gonna happen. http://dstewartpaint.blogspot.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCL Posted November 3, 2012 Share Posted November 3, 2012 They only change I would make is to add a star behind the number(s) on the front of the jerseys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryoma Posted November 3, 2012 Share Posted November 3, 2012 I think the thing that bothers me about this set is the all blue cap. It's already kind of a dull set, uniform-wise - using the blue/orange cap as the full time hat and tossing in the orange one on occasions would bring a bit of brightness to the net. Honestly, I wouldn't mind if they went orange full time at home and blue/orange on the road.I dunno. The 2000s set was kind of a mess, but I think I liked it more than this. Of course, they could have just brought back the 90s set and I would have been a big fan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lights Out Posted November 3, 2012 Share Posted November 3, 2012 I really like this:They could have designed a fantastic uniform set around this, but instead chose to mail it in with a minor league, generic set. POTD: 2/4/12 3/4/12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McCall Posted November 3, 2012 Share Posted November 3, 2012 I really like this:They could have designed a fantastic uniform set around this, but instead chose to mail it in with a minor league, generic set.Actually, these would be more Minor League and the actual uniforms Major League, as Major League uniforms are more traditional and Minor League ones are "out there" and "wacky". Plus, Major League uniforms just don't use side panels (save for BP's). They just don't. https://dribbble.com/MakaioCall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
29texan Posted November 3, 2012 Share Posted November 3, 2012 I really like this:They could have designed a fantastic uniform set around this, but instead chose to mail it in with a minor league, generic set.In all honesty, this is the ONLY thing I like about the set. The return to orange and blue was ok with me, but the new unis are just TOO old school for a team named the "Astros". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

njmeadowlanders Posted November 3, 2012 Share Posted November 3, 2012 I like the road, I feel like while it's just as plain as the home sets it works, maybe because of the gray?But the homes are TOO simple. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigBubba Posted November 3, 2012 Share Posted November 3, 2012 These actually look really nice. I would have loved to see the shooting star return - even just on an alternate jersey - but it's a nice set nonetheless. I thought the beveling would look bad on the cap, but it turned out good. Same goes for the rainbow side panels on the BP uni. The only aspects I don't like are the orange cap and the lack of a matching squatchee/bill (As an aside, I agree with Quillz that the button and squatchee should always match, even if the bill matches the rest of the cap, like with the Dodgers and Cubs). Nobody cares about your humungous-big signature. PotD: 29/1/12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jgiff17 Posted November 3, 2012 Share Posted November 3, 2012 Like em don't love em but I think most houstonians would agree ten times better than the non orange and blue sets ESP the last one that tried too much to be non astro and more old school copy cat! I think I'm the only one doesn't like the rainbow ribs bp jersey...could have been better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shumway Posted November 3, 2012 Share Posted November 3, 2012 I really dig the new look. It's simple for sure, but I'm a big fan of traditional (boring, as some may say) baseball uniforms. The orange alt and the BP jerseys are awesome. I love the rainbow guts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
