I can only imagine how we would have responded when they rolled out the rainbow guts.

Guns. Lots of guns.

Original "Shooting Star" uniform please.

A return to original colors would be most welcome.

+1 too, plus use the orange block letters "HOUSTON" on the road unis.

Matt · « **Reply #8 on:** March 13, 2012, 12:48:39 pm »

Original colors all the way. It would stand out in the AL West as well.

Orange. Navy blue. White shoes. And "ASTROS" across the chest.

EasTexAstro · « **Reply #10 on:** March 13, 2012, 12:51:23 pm »

Any chance of having hats with "FYB" on them?

chuck · « **Reply #11 on:** March 13, 2012, 12:54:52 pm »

I agree. Let's demonstrate what a tradition-steeped franchise this is by returning to the original colors.

Orange. Navy. White hats as the changeup.

It would go a long way to proving to Houston Fans that the current regime cares for the tradition that was so easily dispatched before. The men in orange!

Ugh! I'd rather move to the AL than have orange uniforms and especially white shoes.

Not 100% orange - just orange trim and maybe orange caps. I'd love for the Astros to go back to an updated version of their old color scheme.

If the choices were dress like an asshole or move to the American League, I'd be fine with the Astros wearing red c's on blue hats.

Fredia · « **Reply #18 on:** March 13, 2012, 07:40:46 pm »

i am sure it will be keeping with Americana and probably something red white blue and involving sparklers

The orange hats were not part of the original Astros uniform. They came up with those in what, '73? I strongly prefer the original uni, including the navy caps with the orange star, myself.

I think that the Colt 45's colors also were navy and orange.

Correct. The .45s and the original Astros color schemes were identical (and damn good looking, in my view). In the early '70s the scheme changed from predominantly navy with orange trim to predominantly orange with navy trim (a mistake in my opinion then and now). The logo and graphics stayed the same, only the color scheme was reversed.

Then came the rainbows, shoulder rain, blue & gold and brick and sand.

I, too, am of the opinion that they could do alot worse than going back to the original shooting star motif. Perhaps modernize it somehow.

If it's a graphic from a subscription place you frequent, they will only allow you to view it. It has to be a for public view graphic to link for everyone.
