MLB Combination of Eras - D-Backs in Purple and Red (March 25)

[davidmiller5]

The Astros were quite fun to do. I think that their shooting star logo works very well with the tail from their original jerseys. There most iconic look is definitely their sunrise days, so the alternates both reference these jerseys. The striped jersey would only be worn about two times a month so they would remain a novelty. I think jersey fatigue would set in if they would wear them frequently.

The tertiary logos all feature the same striping pattern as the sunrise jersey. Only the H tertiary logo is used on the uniforms, the others are official marks but not used on these concepts. The Texas-shaped logo is a recolored version of this. The H is taken from their 1965-1993 hats.

Now THAT is a damn fine look for Houston. The colors, the striping, the combination of the vastly different aesthetics, it all flows together. Well done!

[PackerFan98]

That is a good lookin Astros concept!

[TheGiantsFan]

Wow, that is a very good-looking Astros concept! It's just great how you managed to put everything together. Great job!

[ScoffingYayap]

That is amazing! Even without incorporating the 90s look, I'm really really pleased with this

[coco1997]

Astros look phenomenal! This is brilliant.

[SuperLeafsFan]

Im digging the Stros. Im surprised that these colours work so well.

[Giants1883]

Me like!

Home uniform needs brick colored socks. I also thinks that there's too much yellow on the brick jersey. Maybe try toning it down some.

I think this Astros set is amazing, but I still prefer navy to black, and would miss the H-Star on the hats. I absolutely see what you did here and applaud it, but always hated the South Texas Railmen look (and its immediate predecessor) since they threw away orange and then navy. This just reminds me of that look a little too much, in parts, especially the hats.

I'm shocked, though, how you pulled this off. Shooting Star era, Rainbow Guts era, Racing Stripes era, current era, Railmen era--wow! This is such a fun series to follow.

Most everything about the Astros concept is good. The thing I'm not liking is the stripes in the tertiary logos. There is almost too much brick, making the colors look muddled, and they don't really go together. I think I would prefer the 75-86 colors.

That said, the brick color looks good everywhere else.

[MrRangersFan]

These Astros don't look good. Its because the 2002 logo that is making me not like this. I prefer the the 1965 star and the 2002 uni expect the wordmark.What I like is the 2013 wordmark. Besides that,this is great!

great job on the astros

[TrueYankee26]

INCREDIBLE work on Houston.

[coco1997]

Any idea which team you're going to tackle next?

What would the primary look in brick with a sand star

He's been going alphabetical, so it's the Los Angeles Angles of Anaheim.

Speaking of which, while it would break alphabetization, I'd like to see them go back to being called the Anaheim Angels. Any chance of that, David?

[SuperLeafsFan]

I know this is going to sound odd, but if he's doing the Angels, I hope he includes the 1971 set. That whole uniform was fantastic. I also agree with you, Giants1883. Anaheim Angels sounds better than whatever the heck they are now.

[JTswag187]

I would use blue instead of black

[davidmiller5]

Thanks for all the comments. I'm glad you like the set. I am going to stick with the black (or really dark gray) and red.

Here's how the home set looks with red socks. I like it; should I change the undershirt to red too?

I tried replacing the yellow with tan on the red alternate, but it didn't look good at all. So for now I'm going to leave the yellow on the alternate jersey.

I won't be using this as the main logo since I wanted to keep the tone/shades close to their current logo, therefore navy becomes black and orange becomes red.

Yes, the Angels are next. I have thought about going back to Anaheim, but I think I'm going to leave them as Los Angeles. They have actually now played more years as the Los Angeles Angels as the Anaheim Angels (14 to 8). They were the California Angels for 32 years, for whatever that's worth. In the end, I am deciding to leave it because the organization obviously wants to be associated with LA.
