HOUSTON ā The Astros team store was loaded with classic gear, but also hot new items.
The big highlight this year is gold rush apparel, which is only meant for our World Champions.
āItās been a tradition on baseball for the last 10 to 15 years that the World Series champion wears the gold uniform on the field for the first two games of the year,ā said Brandon Pemble, senior buyer with the Houston Astros.
Itās a rush for gold at the Astros team store!
āOf course, gold rush is what everybodyās coming to get right now, and we have all of your stock from menās to womenās to kidsā jerseys,ā said Pemble.
Speaking of jerseys, year after year, Jose Altuve has been the top seller. But this year, a newcomer is gaining in popularity.
āJeremy PeƱa, ALCS MVP, World Series MVP, world-class smile, heās definitely a fan favorite this far,ā said Pemble.
For the fashion-forward Astros fans, itās the time to make a statement.

āItās the same company that makes the famous sequin jacket is this two-in-one reversible fuzzy jacket,ā said Pemble. āWe are back in stock in the sequin jacket. Of course, it has the classic 70s logo and wordmark to tie in with the rainbow cuffs and rainbow bottom.ā
The City Connect collection remains a big hit.
