===2013–present: Return to navy and orange=== In 2013, the Astros returned to the classic navy and orange look of previous eras. Both uniforms featured the city name (road) and team name (home) in block navy letters with orange trim, along with numbers on the left chest. Piping was also added in front. The orange alternate contained the team name and numbers in navy with white trim. The Astros also wore navy uniforms with the orange rainbow stripes along the side; the front originally featured the "H" star before replacing it with "Astros" in orange in 2016. Navy caps with the "H" and orange star returned as the team's primary cap, while a navy cap with orange brim was used on select games. Until 2015, the Astros also wore all-orange caps with the home uniforms, and from 2016 to 2018, the navy alternates were paired occasionally with an orange cap with navy brim.<ref name="uniforms, SB Nation, April 2013"/><ref name="HOUdaily" /> While the navy alternates are usually worn on Sunday home games, in recent years, it became the preferred uniform during [[Framber Valdez]]'s starts regardless of it being a home or road game.<ref>{{cite magazine|title=The Unexpected Greatness of Framber Valdez|url=https://www.si.com/mlb/2022/09/14/framber-valdez-astros|publisher=ABG-SI LLC|magazine=Sports Illustrated|date=September 14, 2022|access-date=August 4, 2023}}</ref> In 2022, the Astros were one of seven additional teams to wear [[Nike, Inc.|Nike]]'s "[[City Connect]]" uniforms. The predominantly navy uniform incorporated the "Space City" wordmark in homage to [[NASA insignia#NASA "worm" logotype|NASA's "worm" logo]]; the lettering and numbers also incorporated said style. The uniform also added various elements from the "[[Tequila sunrise (cocktail)|Tequila sunrise]]" uniforms of the 1970s, including numerals on the right leg and red/orange/yellow gradients on the piping and socks. The left sleeve patch has the modified [[flag of Texas|Texas flag]] recolored to the Astros' navy and orange motif, with the "H-star" logo replacing the white star. All-navy caps feature the modified "H-star" logo incorporating a planet in orbit. This uniform is usually worn on Monday home games.<ref>{{cite web|title=Astros reveal space-themed City Connect unis|url=https://www.mlb.com/news/astros-reveal-space-themed-2022-city-connect-jerseys|publisher=[[MLB Advanced Media]]|work=Houston Astros|date=April 10, 2022|access-date=April 10, 2022}}</ref> On September 22, 2024, the Astros announced that they would wear the "Space City" uniforms for the final time. The team will receive a new "City Connect" uniform in 2025.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Young |first=Matt |date=September 19, 2024 |title=Astros will wear Space City uniforms for final time Monday, new City Connect jerseys coming in 2025 |url=https://www.houstonchronicle.com/sports/astros/article/astros-nike-city-connect-uniform-jersey-change-19777623.php |archive-url=https://archive.today/20240920010005/https://www.houstonchronicle.com/sports/astros/article/astros-nike-city-connect-uniform-jersey-change-19777623.php |archive-date=September 20, 2024 |access-date=September 25, 2024 |website=Houston Chronicle}}</ref> For their second "City Connect" uniform, the Astros wore a white-based uniform. The jersey features the team nickname "STROS" in blue lettering with an orange star logo, trim carrying over from their City Connect 1.0 with their "tequila sunrise" pattern and a lunar pattern pinstriping on the pants paying tribute to the history of the moon landing. They also debuted a new hat logo which is a futuristic design of their traditional star logo in the form of the Astros "A". The sleeve features a mission patch inspired from the long-time [[Union Station (Houston)|union station]] logo. The belt loop has "HTX" stitched along the beltline to pay tribute to [[Houston|Houston, Texas]]. The afterburner socks feature a mixture of orange and yellow in the design of a fire which symbolize the afterburners on a Rocketship.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Houston Astros officially unveil new space-themed City Connect uniforms |url=https://www.houstonchronicle.com/sports/astros/article/astros-new-city-connect-jerseys-unveiled-space-20229540.php}}</ref> {{multiple image | align = center | direction = horizontal | header = Current Astros uniforms | header_align = left/right/center | header_background = | footer = | footer_align = left/right/center | footer_background = | image1 = Ronny Cedeño (Houston Astros).JPG | caption1 = [[Ronny Cedeño]] in the home uniform with navy accessories. | image2 = Yordan Alvarez (48784546838) (cropped).jpg | caption2 = [[Yordan Alvarez]] in the home "Los Astros" uniform with navy accessories. | image3 = Alex Bregman playing shortstop in 2017 (2).jpg | caption3 = [[Alex Bregman]] in the road uniform with alternate navy cap and orange bill (still used occasionally). | image4 = Roberto Osuna with the Houston Astros in 2019.jpg | caption4 = [[Roberto Osuna]] in the road uniform with primary navy cap. | image5 = Marwin Gonzalez Astros in April 2014.jpg | caption5 = [[Marwin González]] in the home uniform with orange accessories (no longer used). | image6 = Lance McCullers in 2017.jpg | caption6 = [[Lance McCullers Jr.]] in the alternate orange uniform with road pants. | total_width = 1000 }}
