The Astros 2012 Slogan

PrintJim Crane has said everything's on the table: uniforms, ticket prices, even the team name; he'll evaluate everything. With that in mind I find myself most interested in the slogan for 2012.
Every year the marketing department for the Astros comes up with a new slogan for the upcoming season. Last year it was "We Are Your Astros" in 2007 it was "The Return of the Good Guys." Honestly those are the only two that come to mind and Google hasn't been kind to me in searching for past slogans. The point of this article though is not to remember the slogans of the past but to brainstorm one for the upcoming season. Maybe it shouldn't even be a slogan, maybe it should be more of a theme.
My first idea for a slogan was a song, "Changes" by David Bowie. This led me to remembering that Tupac also had a song named "Changes." There are certain elements in each song that Astro fans can identify with, but neither really fit.
Maybe songs aren't such a good idea which is why I'm glad I found this slogan generator. Each click producing a new and more entertaining phrase for our beloved Astros. Some of my favorites:
"Wait Till We Get Our Astros On You"
"Behold the Power of The Astros"
"Just One Astro - Give It To Me!"
"Uh-oh, Better Get Astros"
"Please Don't Squeeze The Astros"
"We All Adore an Astros"
"We Don't Make Astros. We Make Astros Better"
"The Astros of a New Generation"
"The Biggest Astros Pennies Can Buy"
The official Astros slogan is still a couple months away but lets see if we can't find one for TCB. Post your favorite slogan's or theme's in the comments below and we'll do a poll next week.

First off, props on the Bowie reference.
I’m the hugest Bowie fan alive. (Like, David Bowie tattooed on my arm and back huge. I’ve got Astros tattoos too, though, so you can’t make fun of me…)
I remember one of the ‘90s slogans was “Astros Baseball: Star Power!”. For our newest slogan, I submit "These aren’t your father’s Astros". You know, because the Astros of yesteryear fielded competitive teams and made playoff runs. Nowadays, not so much… :(

I’ve got an Astros star logo on each shoulder. The current one on my right shoulder, and the old H inside the star logo on my left. Since the Astros logo is probably changing soon, I’m going to get "Astros in the early ’90s era logo font (when I started watching them) on my arm soon.
Also, meant to as you: you’re at Carroll, right? Do you know Courtney Hawkins?

I have no ulterior motive in this at all, but
How about “Follow the Astros of the Future with us”

Do not know about this year, but next year "Great LeagueChangers, Get on board"
It’s The Great League Changers, Get on board.
On The Great League Changers, We’ll explore.
A comet ride of fantasy,
To a place where dreams fly fast and free.
With new divisions and new parks to see,
We’ll spin you through the galaxy.
On The Great League Changers, Wo-o-oah.
On The Great League Changers, Off we go.
Get on board, Step inside,
Soaring for a magic ride.
Playing for the other side,
Where only pitchers hide,
On The Great League Changers, Oh-oh-oh.
On The Great League Changers Get on board.
On The Great League Changers, Get on board.
On The Great League Changers, Off we go.

Evidently the Astros signed Zach Duke.
I’ll let one of our writers handle the fanshot.

I went to the sloganizer and got bored with the stros’ slogans. so, for the past two days, my 9 yr old son, 6 yr old son, and I have been entering poop, pee, fart, diarrhea, etc. ah, poop jokes. they never get old.

Better ingredients,
better Astros.
I liked the Astros so much, I bought the Company!
You’ll look a little lovelier everyday with fabulous pink Astros!
I wish I were an Astros weiner.
You’ll wonder where the yellow went when you brush your teeth with Astros.
New Slogan
How about this: “Scenes in this game could be disturbing to some viewers” .
Slogan
How about:
“Houston, We Have A Problem!”
“2012 Astros — We Can’t Do Much Worse”
Or a more positive:
“Astros – 50 Years And Counting”
“Astros — Be A Part of the Next 50 Years”
I like that last one
