Houston Astros Alternate Uniforms

Yesterday, the Houston Astros introduced their (rather cool) colt 45 throwback uniforms. 

We made this decision for a number of reasons,” Astros owner Jim Crane said. “We listened to our fans, who were almost unanimously in favor of wearing the original jersey. We wanted to honor all of our past uniforms during this special 50th anniversary season, and we felt it was important to be true to the tradition of the franchise.” 

I'm surprised the MLB allowed the Astros to don these uniforms! What do you think; are you surprised? Do you think they are cool or ridiculous? Let us know!
