The Astros will submit a new uniform design for the 2013 season and owner Jim Crane hinted that the franchise's old colors will return. “We’ll blend some of the new with the history of the team and some of the colors in the past,” Crane said. “We’ve selected it all and we’re about to submit it. We’re due in on the 30th, so everything’s set to go to baseball for approval.” The Astros used lots of oranges and blues in the past.
