I have to admit I still like the logo alot. I think it would have served better than the Astros. Although the space program was big at the time, and it was located at the Johnson Space Center. And he was our new President.
So in 1964 it was changed before the season started. I guess you had to live back then to understand the mood of the country.
The reason it was changed is because of the JFK assasination. The sate of Texas and the city of Houston thought it to be in bad taste considering what happened to the President
theres no way a team could use this name or logo today its too politacally incorrect
I bet in 50 years people are going to look back at this generation and laugh about how politically correct everyone was trying to be.
