Astros considering uniform changes and name change for 2013

[AshlyHasBeen]

I'm betting on a return to navy and orange, 60's inspired throwbacks. NO NAME CHANGE.

----------------------------------------------------------------
Crane indicated that a uniform change was something management has been exploring for a while and if they do want to make a change prior to the '13 season, they'll have to notify Major League Baseball sometime around the start of the '12 season.

Crane also said they would consider a name change, but he indicated nothing was on the horizon on that front.

"We haven't said we're going to do it," Crane said. "Don't jump to any conclusions."

Heard this on the way home today. Is there a list of names that they are considering?

[AshlyHasBeen]

There hasn't been one released.

Would be nice changing there name to the oliers wearing light blue unis and such.

You knew that with the new owner that they would mix it up bc thats how they make their money. I like the approach of the new owner and hope they get their farm system going.

I'm all for the $5 beer!  ;D


Last year was the first year in my memory(I think in my lifetime) that I didn't attend at least 1 game.  Hopefully with some of these fan friendly changes I can make a few this year.

Uh thats original, never heard that one B4

I can go for a change I never liked the "Brick and Sand" colors, but I would be disappointed if we lost the ASTRO name.

I think a lot of folks are expressing that as Crane had come way off of the name change part of it today.

Let's just wait a year to see how it goes. We may reconsider the new name to

Secondtolastros or maybe even Firstros  :o ::)

Crane is trying to create a little buzz and generate some interest again. I dont want to see the Astros change their name. I really dont care about the uniforms, however, I am partial to the blue & orange. I guess my favorite was the shooting star from the late 60s. I really dont like the orange rainbows from the late 70s. Those made the players look like Taco Bell employees. I guess I really dont like any of the unis since McLane took over the team either. The bottom line is even the best looking uniforms (or a name change) wont make them winners. Good, solid ballplayers will make the difference.

Uniform changes are a part of the game. Leave the name alone

I like the dark blue jerseys with the rainbow. When they changed to the Navy and sparkling gold, I didnt like it. When they changed to the "brick and sand", I then appreciated the gold and navy. Looking back now the Navy and gold is my second favorite, wouldnt mind revisiting that color scheme again.

Also the star now is just boring, again the slant with the gold and navy was better.
