I always find the history of those to be very interesting.Steve Giermanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10291911419511893670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27257197959732447.post-45349118633707523322008-09-14T13:28:00.000-04:002008-09-14T13:28:00.000-04:00Great article.

Perhaps because of the issues he had with Colt Firearms which forced him to change the team's name he was very protective of the Astros name and logo, and decided he wanted to retain complete control of the licensing.<BR/><BR/>Fleer had the same issue as the Astros were missing from their team logo patches in 1967 & 1968, and finally appeared in 1969. Thanks for linking to my article on the subject.Fleerfanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15864097341083255908noreply@blogger.com
