Are they City Connect uniforms? So many of them are just hideous, the worst being the Red Sox and the Padres.

If not THE best? They were bad with the green pants that they wore at first but with the white pants they look pretty sharp.


I suppose it depends on whom you're talking to

not too many people here that I know like them all that much. Of course, a lot of that could be due to the team being really bad for a long time.


I concur. I think they're sharp. *

Opinions may vary. I think Houstons are consistently viewed in the upper tier of the pack, not amazing, but pretty good and definitely serviceable.

Personally i love it and have one hanging in my closet.
