They pulled the Angels, Stros, and Rangers (iirc) hats off the market later the same day they were released. Gonna be a bunch of 3rd World kids running around in those hats and 49'ers Super Bowl Champ t-shirts. (sorry, @B-Bob, couldn't think of a better team)
Can actually go from oldest to newest uni, and its a progressively worse feel to them. Even the 90's blue grey uni was done on its own originality. Everything after that feels a corporatized "recapture" or gimmick that looks alright, but doesnt quite feel so authentic
Yea, not a huge fan but maybe my opinion will change once I see them in play. Last years were just ugly IMO, the blue on blue was just too much...........the Tigers had the worst last year, those things were an embarrassment It's like there trying too hard
5, 2, 7, 6, 4, 3, 1 I very much prefer the H-star caps to all others. The new "Stros" uniform is just meh and would be improved considerably with an A. Plus, the caps look too much like Arizona. The Space City uniforms always looked unnatural to me.
I absolutely love the general concept, the 90s jerseys with the orange color scheme and traditional H star would be perfect in my book. The execution is lacking IMO. I don't like the cutesy "stros" on the jersey. It's like whenever I see the word ya'll wrote out. Sure I use the word constantly in my actual vocabulary...but it just looks stupid for reason. Also I don't understand why they insist on f**king with the H-star (I mean I do understand, money) but it's stupid. If they insist on something new for merch then go with an H over the shooting star, not this grocery store logo. Lastly it could be larger, looks small on the jersey with too much dead space. I still like them a lot more than the auto mechanic blues, but this could have been 10/10 perfection.
My 11 year old saw all the leaks . . . and was the most MEH I've ever seen him. If they can't get an 11 year old hyped about extra merch, unis, and cool $hit . . . I'm afraid they don't know what they are doing.
Huh? Do u not live in Houston or have conversations about our baseball team? Have you never heard " Stros" before?? It is a very common nickname and your response gives off the assumption that it's brand new to you
I mean, only for the last 45 years or so. Of course I know that's what many of us call them. It just looks dumb on an actual jersey. But thanks for this brilliant insight.
I’m generally not a fan of City Connect uniforms. That said, I’ve seen much worse, so this one is fine to me. However, from a distance, the hat resembles a DBacks hat.
The white is OK, as long as they don't trot them out with blue on blue like last year.....those were hideous over time. The hat sucks though
After 20 minutes, the DBacks hat is bothering me. My general apathy has been upgraded to common sports fan hatred for anything that changes.
