"We felt that with the new ownership and the way the team performed in the last couple of years that we needed to step forward and try to get the interest back with the fans," he said.

 

This would be a slap in the face of the true die hard Stros fans. Pandering to the bandwagon jumpers and the all mighty dollar is a great way to start your ownership. Sorry Astros fans.

No name change needed. That would really hack some people off. But, they do need to bring back the Rainbow jerseys and the orange hats.

 

 

That's right! Those early to mid-80's popsicle jerseys along with the clown pants with the elastic waistband! Thank God that clown pant trend of the mid-80's went the way of the buffalo. Those were embarrassing and a disgrace.

I can live with the uniform change. I am not a fan of their current uni's. They look to much like children's pajama's.

Now for a name change that would be a travesty. The name fits the team perfectly with NASA sitting in Houston.

IF they were to change their name, the only option would be the Colt .45's. Any other name would be a waste of time and a slap in every Astro's fans face.

The only name change that makes sense would be going back to the Colt .45's

That won't happen, not in major sports. After the Bullets became the Wizards the weaponized team name/logo is history. Too much PCness in this country.

Maybe the Houston Gunslingers, or the Houston Oilers, or the Houston Outlaws, or the Houston Roughnecks

If there were to be a change, I like Outlaws, but it will never happen. All the PC idiots outside of Texas will scream bloody murder.

With Obama wanting to shut NASA down makes sense. Get rid of anything with the name so people want be reminded of it. We could be giving that money to the have nots to close the gap instead of shooting at the moon.
