    If that's it, that might be the most generic wordmark logo in baseball. The Yankees road wordmark is pretty generic (Cubs too, kind of) but this at least takes the prize for home jerseys.

    Apparently "old mixed with the new" = just plain old with minimal or no changes.

    Old logo (with a little BEVELING)
    Old colors
    1965 road lettering applied to both road and home uniforms
    Old mascot (though he actually is updated)

    I know many will be happy with it but I was at least hoping for an update akin to the Blue Jays or Pistons in the NBA.

    PS - Despite Hey Now's comments, I really don't care for the rainbow armpit BP jerseys, only because of the rainbow pits.

    Come on man, it's a star, what can you really do with a star? I like what the Jays did, but it's a drawing of a bird that is open to modernization. A star is a star.

    My minor quibbles are that a couple of orbiting baseballs like they had on the Astrodome logo would have looked nice on the new logo and a Texas patch of some kind for one of the home jerseys.

    I would've like one of these as the alternate cap.

    The uniforms look awesome. What did you want? A rocket ship blasting off on the shirt?

    Not sure about the Sunday uniform but I like the rest.

    Orange/blue definitely looking sharp. Any other team use orange?

    Orioles and Tigers come to mind. Marlins have an orange alternate or some kind too I think.
