Crane said we could have a new uniform and logo.

huh? In what way? The fact that they both have english words in them?

 

Well the beveling isn't what makes it Texas-y, since the Rangers logo has shadows, not bevels. It's the fact that it's a round logo with simple letter that makes it so Texas-y.

That and the fact that, in my opinion, this makes the Astros more "western/Texas-ish" than their previous look. It's, in essence, the same template as the Rangers.

I really think the Astros should have differentiated themselves a little more (which is what the previous open star accomplished).

This new retro look isn't bad, and I'm sure everyone will get used to it (it took a little bit to get used to the previous identity), but overall it's still a bit bland -- which was a common complaint of the retro logo years ago before everyone started getting nostalgic.

 

I misspoke but it was the roundness of the logo not the beveling. The first thing that struck me when I saw the new logo was that looks like the Rangers'.

 

Academy supposedly put the nee shirts with the logo on shelves before quickly takin them down and someone took a pic...

You're a little late BM.

 

It also looks like the Padres other logo too.

 

im not sure you understand what a bevel is..

there is no bevel in the rangers logo.. i see a shadow and a roundel...

 

Here is a comparison of the old "H-star" logo and the new "H-star" logo:

Will fit in nicely with the other round team logos in the AL West:

I like the retro look, although I did really like the open star. Can't wait to see the official unveil of the unis!

 

Here is a cap mock-up I made. I even tried to make the logo look like it it stitched as part of the cap instead of making it look like a computer-generated logo pasted on to a real cap.

Anyway, should I adjust the orange color and make it less bright? Should I make the logo smaller? Any suggestions are appreciated:

 

Sorry, here is the picture:

 

I took the little logo thing off the side. This should be more accurate:

 

Definitely loving the revisions. That star may always be a little odd to me, but I can get used to it, unlike the Rockets logo.

 

Smaller H-star... probably more accurate:

 

Another uniform mock-up:

 

Are you bored bmd?
