New name for AL bound Astros?

[NAHSTE]

I wonder what ideas they could possibly be entertaining outside of Colt .45s

In today's PC world I highly doubt they'd be able to swing a return to a team name that romanticizes gun shooting. It's a shame too because these hats are all time beauties:



My dad has been an Astros/Colt 45s fan since the team's inception. I'll have to run these changes by him and see how much he hates it. Actually have yet to ask him about the AL move, so this should be a fun convo.

I think Colt .45's might just be old timey enough to where it won't come off as promoting violence or any of that nonsense.

I'm not gun expert, but I associate Colt .45's with Billy The Kid more than I do with Bloods & Crips. It's not 'Houston Gats' or 'Houston AK's' or some shit.

I don't think they need a name change at all. They're moving to the other league, not a different city. It's still the same franchise.

Really? I think of this...

Jim Crane told season ticket holders today that the name will not be changed. Fan response was overwhelmingly against a name change.

Why on earth would you be in favor of a name change?

Thank god, that would have been a disaster.
