Well, I think its not just the font alone....the D-Cracks are using thick outlines on their script's, while the Astros are using more of a pinstripe outline. This makes it looka a little different, but now much at all. The colors are exactly the same. There home uniforms will look exactly like our Sunday uniforms we sport with brick hats. I always like that look better then the pinstripe mess we sport currently. I think this will force the Astros to change the look again. Drayton has a thing for his team's looking unique. When the Stros busted out the Blue and Gold "Shooting Star: look in the 90's, they were the only Blue and Gold team. Milwaukee soon after copied the look and colors and the Stros then switched to the current "Brick and Sand" scheme. Now the D-Cracks have stolen it too. If history tells us anything, the Stros will change there look. Lets see......no one is using Forest Green and Gold ...or maybe Silver or even Copper. In fact there are only two green teams in baseball (A's - Green, Yellow / Tampa Bay - Green, Black, Blue) And Tampa is changin there look for the 2008 season. Could Green be in the future of the 'Stros?
Wow those hats won't look anything like D's from far away. Morel ike a messed up snake. I like their uni's more than ours actually. They have a black one too.
And they'll copy the Astros again when they retire the black jerseys because the players get too hot in them in that Arizona heat.
The "D-Backs" jerseys are beyond tacky. The "Arizona" ones are alright, but these are a blatant ripoff of the Astros. As an Astros fan, I am upset, and any Diamondbacks fan, in my opinion, should be upset also because they didn't receive an original product. That little secondary logo on the sleeve is absolutely laughable, by the way.
You know if you go to Arizona's team site you can get a better idea of how the color scheme works. It is actually slighty different than the Astros (theirs is a little more red). And then you can see a good shot of the red uni being worn by a player. Yeah I'm not so pissed off any more; I'll go with it being tacky too. Still the logo w/ the new colors does scream Astros.
I like the one's we have now too. I actually liked the black alternates better than the brick red ones but either way they are nice. I hope they keep these and start up a traditional look instead of keep changing uni's every 10 years.
Yeah they just look like the nationals now. Anyways the Astros need to change their jerseys... Especially home pinstriple... way too tacky
I like our uni's now but if they were to change them I hope they go back to the dark blue and gold ones.
Uh I really don't see how Milwaukee had anything to do with the uni change, the Astros changed to go along with the move into the new stadium. I also think they purposely chose a classic look, including the pinstripes, because they want a look that will stick like the Yankees and Red Sox, so I don't expect them to change a thing. Personally, I would like them to go back to blue and orange.
