    Going back to old school, I wish the Astros would do the same.

    Actually, not everything is old school. They'll have blue alternate road jerseys to go with the throwback road jerseys. And then they have new red home alternate jerseys. There is no longer a "B" on their hat. It's a pair of hanging red socks.

    That would be CLEAN if they went back to those....too bad Houston teams NEVER stay with one identity, so we're never going to get that classic look like the Red Sox, Yankees, Lakers, Celtics, Cubs, etc have.

    you might with the texans

    but you're right, generally. really wish the rockets had never changed to begin with. now that they're back to red, i'm happy...but would have preferred they stay the same classic look.

    The Oilers never really changed their basic look, did they?

    The Jerseys look really good, but the caps with just the socks on them look stupid. They should have kept the letter B on the caps.

    well...they're called the titans now! ;)

    you're right..while here they looked pretty much the same for a very long time. they tweaked the color of their helmet from blue to white at one point.

    I can understand this from a marketing standpoint but consider that under that retro uniform they had decades of frustration and heartache and baseball being a superstitious sport maybe they should stick with their current logo.

    Think about it this way the Rockets since changing their uniform haven't only made it out of the first round twice and haven't been to the championship. Take a hint Rockets management.

    What uniform you wear doesn't determine if you're going to lose or win. C'mon now. I love the 94-95 uniforms. The Rockets should wear those more often.
