BigBubba Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 There's a star on the hat and sleeves. Name represented.I know that.About the Astros name, the beauty of it is that you can really go anywhere with it. If you want to go all futuristic sci-fi with it, it would work. If you wanted to keep things simple with a traditional script and a star present, it would work just as well. Heck, you could go back to ancient societies with their constellations and stargazers and it would be appropriate for the name. "Astros" just has to relate to stars - nothing more, nothing less. Nobody cares about your humungous-big signature. PotD: 29/1/12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powersurge Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 There's a star on the hat and sleeves. Name represented.I feel the 'Stros are yet another example of a team trying to bring back an old look and screwing it up by trying to mess with it unnecessarily. If you are going to bring back an old look then bring it back and come to peace with it. I hate this look and think its a half-@$$ed attempt to connect with the past.

Showtime029 Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 Laugh all you want - it wasn't in the style guide back in October. In other logo/uni-related news, my access to the Style Guide is no longer valid. Fan-frickin-tastic.Ha. No big deal. I'm just busting chops. Sometimes they hold back things or allow information to certain companies before hand. I don't believe it was in the style guideoriginally.

Digby Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 With the all-red switch, the Cardinals might be the only team in my memory that wants *fewer* uni options to shill in the shop... bizarre.

Old School Fool Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 I don't think it's a permanent thing for the Cardinals. It might just be like most MLB teams, they wear whatever when they feel like it which isn't too bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zpqmaowl Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 The Cardinals look really, really good. the worst helmets design to me is the Jacksonville jaguars hamlets from 1995 to 2012 because you can't see the logo vary wall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shumway Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 Unpopular opinion alert: I like the red Cards hats. I don't get why everyone wants the blue back.I think the red caps look better as well. That's not to say that I disliked the navy caps, but I always thought they looked odd with the red shoes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ohryan Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 Count me in as another one who thinks the Cards look great with the red caps. It seems like the Cardinals home uniforms are always near the top of all the "best uniforms" lists, but the road uniforms were never anywhere to be found - because of the navy caps. Now the Cardinals look like the Cardinals again, and their road uniforms are right up there with the home whites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shstpt1 Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 Look like the cardinals again??? Seriously? They've worn the blue for nearly 20 years on the road, and have history with them... Hopefully the red on the road is a giant April fools joke, and they return to the blue. They look terrible tonight, especially against another red hat team...

infrared41 Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 I'm OK with the red caps on the road for the Cardinals. The red looks good (hell, the Cardinals really can't look bad) but I really like the blue road cap. It's probably my favorite cap. Hopefully, it's not gone for good.

devilray2k1 Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 I'm conflicted...because I DO like the Cardinals returning to red caps and helmets on the road...I remember when I was a kid and they changed to navy and I've hated it ever since then...BUTthe navy was...kinda...distinctive - now they just look like a handful of other teams with a red/gray road look...so i'm a little torn on this one...I think to look distinctive they should've just kept on doing what they were doing...when they had the navy caps you KNEW INSTANTLY you were watching the Cardinals now from a glance they could be confused with the Angels or Dbacks or Reds easilyI think they should've went red caps ONLY at home and then made their Sunday home cap the official road cap: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McCall Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 Sunday cap on the road? No.The navy cap actually has a longer history than the red. Plus the majority of Cardinal fans prefer it on the road. Quite frankly I think that should suffice. The red looks great with the white, but just doesn't look as bright or rich against the gray. Makes the cap appear more drab. https://dribbble.com/MakaioCall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee. Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 Those bird caps shouldn't even be worn for bp. Also, the navy road caps were phenomenal. I always liked the seeming incongruity of a team with red letters and undershirts wearing a blue cap. Goodnight, sweet prince.

McCall Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 The red STL went nicely with the red letters/numbers on the jersey. Red letters across both items of the uniforms helped tie it together. https://dribbble.com/MakaioCall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
