Houston Astros launch new 'Space City' uniforms with nods to NASA

The Houston Astros are celebrating their home city's connection to space exploration with a new uniform inspired in part by NASA's astronaut wear and materials.

The Major League Baseball team debuted their new Nike City Connect uniforms on Sunday (April 10), ahead of the players wearing them for the first time when they face the Los Angeles Angels on April 20. The Astros will then don the "Space City"-themed garbs for their Monday home games at Minute Maid Park, including "NASA Night" on July 16.

The Astros will wear their symbolic space-inspired uniforms for each Monday home game, as well as the NASA Night game slated for Saturday, July 16.

Moreover, throughout the season, Johnson's External Relations Office is continuing its efforts to work with the hometown heroes to highlight human space exploration, partners, future exploration, and significant accomplishments and contributions to science, technology, engineering and mathematics, or STEM.
