Shooting Star Astros
These have to be the best TBTC jerseys. I may be old school, but I think the Astros would have done well to switch to these when they moved to the AL.

Damn shame Judas Crane went with the Block Letter Style for the ALstros' New Home Unis. Numerous Fans wanted the Shooting Star Jerseys to return as the Home Unis a couple of years back.

Re: Shooting Star Astros
Great look, and much better than what they currently wear. Of course, I did love that they went back to the navy/orange with the "star-H" logo. Classic Astros. I am partial (I know, let's start the heckling) to the rainbow jerseys and the road "rainbows" that had the multi-stripe down the sleeve. They could still do a modified Rainbow uniform with belted pants and lose the number on the thigh.....
Just MHO, but pullovers over button down works better for many teams. Hope several teams, including the Astros and Padres, go back to pullovers. Many college teams wear them now (again) in conjunction with belted pants....Jay Shelton

Yep, and didn't they only wear the back circle numbers for only that one year, Dave, and went to the more traditional block navy numbers outlined in white in 1976 and thereafter? I always thought it strange that the font on the pant numbers did not match the 1975 back circle jersey font.... Drives me crazy as a graphic designer!
