New Names for the Astros

While announcing lower prices for tickets and beer, Jim Crane also stated that the team’s name and uniforms could be re-evaluated. Even though the Astrodome is dead and gone, Astros is still a pretty cool name. The brick and black pinstripe numbers could go for an update, however.

If Jim Crane does decide that the team must make an identity change, here are a few ideas to consider:

  • The Houstonians
  • The ENRONS       
  • Bagwell’s Goatees
  • The Uphill Surfers
  • Sweathogs
  • The Crane Capital Group’s Starting Nine and Investorium
  • The Expos
  • Astro, The Jetsons’ Dog
  • Oil Barrons
  • The Sorry-We’re-Not-In-Austins
  • The BBQs

But as much as I would love to see a team named after smoked meat (with this tee-shirt needing some company), I think the choice is clear. The team must be named the Knights after the 1980s CBS Series:

Disagree?
