Baseball is Back: Here’s Every Houston Astros Uniform Ranked was originally published on 93qcountry.com
1. 1976-86 Rainbows
Was there any other choice? The star and number on the back gain white outlines in 1982.
2. 1975 Rainbows
3. 2016-Present Navy
The Astros have done what few franchises in pro sports have achieved in the present day; wearing great uniforms with a fantastic color way that represents the franchise and city well across the board.
4. 1976-93 White, Gray & Cream
Whites were introduced in 1981 was an alternate. The grays were phased out for creams in 1982
5. 2013-Present Orange
The 2013 Astros-brand redesign honors the franchise’s past with its color way and elements of the uniforms’ design, while feeling fresher than ever.
6. 2013-Present White
7. 1962-64 Houston Colt .45s (Home)
Used as the home uniforms before the Astros were the “Astros.”
8. 2013-14 Navy
The predecessor of the present day navys. The only difference is the use of the modern Astros logo instead of “Houston.”
9. 1965-70 Home

The darker lettering a star look a lot better than what proceeds these uniforms.
10. 2022-24 City Connect “Space City”
Nike’s City Connects haven’t been “home runs” in the MLB, something the NBA has experienced across the board with their non-home and away uniforms (the City Editions are typically terrible), but the Astros lucked out with the “Space City” uniforms.
11. 2013-Present Gray
12. 1962-64 Houston Colt .45s (Away)
Can’t go wrong with a classic look. The features on these uniforms have inspired decades of Astros uniforms.
13. 1965-70 Away
14. 1971 Home

15. 1972-74 Away
16. 1972-74 Home
17. 2025 City Connect “Stros”
Elements of these are good, but they aren’t as good as their predecessors. The logo on the front is a nice callback to the 1990s, and a direction we wished ownership at the time headed in colorway-wise.
18. 1971 Away
19. 2000-12 Pinstripes
Is it a rule in baseball that every franchise must attempt pinstripes at some point?
20. 2000-01 Away Black

These don’t scream “Astros” to me, which is why the black uniforms are this low. Otherwise I like the design.
21. 2000-01 Home Black

See No. 20.
22. 1997-99 Gray
Better than they were in 1996, but still not great.
23. 2000-12 Gray
24. 2002-12 White
25. 1997-99 Navy
26. 1994-99 White
27. 1994-96 Gray
28. 1994-96 Navy
29. 2001-12 “Houston” Red
Why red?
30. 2002-12 “Astros” Red
31. 2000-01 White

Never have been a big fan of logo-only front designs on uniforms, especially ones this simple.
