I grew up with the Killer Bees. Bring back the blue and gold color scheme.
You can't for any reason change the team name. Its been around for too long, has ties to the city and the backlash would be huge.

Seriously, the team I followed since a child is going to rename the franchise. If they lose the Astros I will never go to another game there

How about the Houston Shafts?
Seems to go in line with the subtle phallic symbolism of the rockets, aeros, and oilers

Unis and colors need dramatic change. They would be idiots to change the name.
Get rid of brick red and pinstripes and that stupid looking star

Orange and blue for the win. Back to tradition!!!!

The current star is the old navy and gold star that went with the 1990s changes.
I bought my kids that navy and gold cap, but never one for myself. Did get a cheap shell-top. My only Astros hat is navy with the orange star and H.
This whole thing is screwed up. American League, really Bud? And the owners LOVE him. Lordamercy.

We need to return to a classic look with a little modern twist. Here's my idea:
Cap: Navy Blue with the Star that's on the hat today, only it's silver, and outlined in orange.
Alternate Cap: White hat with a navy bill with a Blue star outlined in orange.
Home Jersey: Plain white (No Pinstripes) with the Navy blue "Houston" or "Astros" (From the 90's) across the chest, outlined in orange. Numbers in navy, outlined in silver or orange.
Away Jersey: solid gray jerseys with Navy "Houston" or "Astros" (From the 90's)across the chest, outlined in orange. Navy blue numbers, outlined in orange.
Alternate Jersey: Navy Blue Jersey with silver "Houston" or "Astros" (From the 90's) across the chest, outlined in orange. Silver numbers outlined in orange.
Throwbacks: The rainbow throwbacks that everybody loves with the original hat with the orange star and the white "H"
Home Pants: Plain white with a thin navy blue stripe down the side.
Away Pants: Plain Gray with a thin navy blue stripe down the side.
Cap: Navy Blue with the Star that's on the hat today, only it's silver, and outlined in orange.
Alternate Cap: White hat with a navy bill with a Blue star outlined in orange.

Houston Houstonians

I actually like their color scheme, and they definitely shouldn't change the Astros name. Not that I care, I don't really claim the Astros but they shouldn't mess with it.
