MLB Baseball Uniforms

Those jersey, caps, and the rest of the the attire that the MLB clubs wear are very trending pieces of Americana. They not only show off one's support for their favorite ball club, but also are a fashion statement and many times a highly collected item. 

We try to collect and dispay some of the big changes and revisions to MLB uniforms right here.

A Journey Through the Houston Astros' Uniform Evolution

The Houston Astros, from their inception as the Colt .45s, have sported a diverse array of uniforms, each reflecting the changing times and team identity. Buckle up for a tour through their sartorial history:

Colt .45 Era (1962-1964):

-Classic and elegant: Think navy pinstripes with orange accents, paired with a navy cap featuring a white H over an orange star.

-A nod to Texas heritage with the Texas flag on the road jersey sleeve.


Early Astros Era (1965-1974):

-Shooting Star logo takes center stage, orbiting baseballs on the home jersey sleeve and emblazoned on the road cap.

-Orange becomes the primary color, paired with navy for a bold and vibrant look.


Psychedelic 70s (1975-1986):

-Embrace the era's flair with orange, yellow, and white stripes adorning the home jersey.

-The iconic rainbow-patterned pullover jersey arrives in 1975, becoming a fan favorite and pop-culture icon.


Shoulder Rainbows and Beyond (1987-2012):

-Rainbow tones move to the shoulders on a more traditional white home jersey.

-1994 sees a complete redesign with brick red and black dominating, reflecting the move to Enron Field.

-Various throwbacks to earlier eras become popular for Friday home games.

Back to the Roots (2013-Present):

Returning to the AL, the Astros adopt a look reminiscent of the 1960s with navy pinstripes and orange accents.
Homage to the past continues with occasional throwback jerseys and caps.
