The revelation of the 2022 Houston Astros City Connect jersey took place on April 11th, 2022. Not to mention, the space-related theme was chosen because Houston is home to NASA.

The name ‘Space City’ will be embedded in the chest area of the Astros. April 20th, 2022, will be the debut of the Space City jerseys as the Astros will face the Los Angeles Angels.

The Houston Astros made a perfect video for the big reveal. The video includes Dr. Bernard Harris, who was the first African American to operate an extravehicular activity. He was part of two important space missions, STS-63 and STS-55. It’s working toward America’s Space programs is what he talks about in Houston.

He proudly states, “Houston has always been on a mission. Mission to innovate. A mission to inspire. A mission to win. And this uniform represents that quality.” He then says the tagline of the new jersey, “This is Houston. This is Space City.”

Anita Sehgal, the senior vice president of marketing and communications of the Astros, says, “Our City Connect uniform links the past and the present, making the old new, with a nod to our city’s glorious history of space travel. This uniform is a thank you to our fans for their relentless support of the Astros and for growing our substantial community. We don’t see this as just a uniform, but as a movement for our city and we are excited to share it today.”

Another interesting thing found in the uniform is the modern touch that blends perfectly with a jersey design from the 1970s. The retro-modern feel is quite fresh and appealing to the eye. The sleeve of the uniform includes a patch with a state flag of Texas on the inside, surrounded by 4 area codes on the outside.
