OT: Astros might change name

[Rice Cube]

New Astros’ owner says he’s considering changing team name | HardballTalk

Key word being "might" but thought this could be fun to discuss.

Kinda the opposite of the Angels, give the namesake to the smaller city :yeah: but clarify it is from the city it actually resides in.

I guess I need to make everything green. Figured you'd catch on. I apologize for giving you too much credit. Won't happen again.

Sugarland is a little bit away from where the stadium is..

Not a real good baseball team
But the name is cool

They don't need to change, just go back to the Colt 45's most epic name ever. Who wouldn't want to be named after Bad malt liquor and guns?? Think about the advertising possibilities!! And uniform options.. Make their hats look like bottle caps.
