The colors are being called "Sedona Red" and "Sonoran Sand".

According to the press..

"Phoenix-based Campbell Fisher Design, the firm that did the team's original uniforms, updated the look so the merchandise would be more popular and so the uniforms would be more TV friendly, with the team's name shorter and therefore easier to read for viewers.

'The uniforms we had were really divisive,' team President Derrick Hall said.

Purple and turquoise was a color combination that fans either loved or hated, he said, and it was the first change Major League Baseball suggested when it approached the team about a new look.

'You're just not going to get everybody to wear purple for whatever reason,' Hall said.

Red, sand and black are more universally acceptable colors for men and women, and look more fashion-forward, according to designer Greg Fisher. And this fall, red was a major accent color on the runways, but he insists sports marketing had more to do with the new look than fashion trends.

'We wanted to give the new look more energy and excitement, to work from a merchandising standpoint as well as a uniform standpoint,' he said."

I much prefer these to the old look

Too many teams have red caps now.

I thought Houston already had a team?

Actually, I don't mind the colors. The jerseys are pretty bad, though. If they wanted a team nickname that was going to be easy to read on a jersey, they shouldn't have picked a name as long as "Diamondbacks" in the first place.

Hey, you shouldn't hate on the Houston Diamondstros of Arizona.

Not a terribly original color scheme, but I guess it's to be expected from a league in which nearly half the teams are using some variation of red, white, and blue.

They need to throw in a little tan color into the mix.

I agree. I like the uniforms, but the color scheme is too familiar.

I don't know I kinda liked the original color scheme.

Yes, then the assimilation will be complete. Still at a loss that anyone else would adopt this color scheme.

Who you crappin'?? That logo is sweet, in-game!!!

That tan can look good with the red...I made this little sig for someone, prolly a year ago. I really like how the tan goes with the red.

Yes, the logo is sweet, as are all of the ones you did

I have to say, I like the Astros colors better than when they went blue, gold, and white. At least the 'brick red' has a couple of things going for it.
1) It's closer to the traditional team colors than the '94-99 variety.
2) The color is such that you can make a hat that looks damn near Maroon, and then one that looks Burnt Orange, so sales wise, you get both the Aggies & Longhorns to support your team, and it still is close enough to your 'brick red'.
