AshlyHasBeen Posted January 24, 2012 Report Posted January 24, 2012 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."
walldrill Posted January 24, 2012 Report Posted January 24, 2012 Heard this on the way home today. Is there a list of names that they are considering?
AshlyHasBeen Posted January 24, 2012 Author Report Posted January 24, 2012 There hasn't been one released.
king Posted January 24, 2012 Report Posted January 24, 2012 Would be nice changing there name to the oliers wearing light blue unis and such.
Guest beechnut Posted January 24, 2012 Report Posted January 24, 2012 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.
PhatMack19 Posted January 24, 2012 Report Posted January 24, 2012 I'm all for the $5 beer! ;DLast 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.
bigsoftballfan Posted January 24, 2012 Report Posted January 24, 2012 I have a great name. The Houston Lastros. :o ;D

shovel Posted January 25, 2012 Report Posted January 25, 2012 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.
mat Posted January 25, 2012 Report Posted January 25, 2012 Uniform changes are a part of the game. Leave the name alone
coachdaddy Posted January 25, 2012 Report Posted January 25, 2012 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.
