I prefer the Aeros.

I donāt like when teams move and keep the name where it doesnāt make sense. The movie baseketball made fun of this in the 90s. Something like the Minneapolis Lakers moved to LA were there arenāt any lakes and the New Orleans Jazz moved to Utah were music is illegal.
Iād rather us find something unique to the city and love the space connection. I think the Texans whiffed on their name.

Should be Houston and Quebec City.
Aeros belongs to Dayton. That was who the original franchise was planned for. It was pay homage to The Wright Brothers. The Aeros name never really belonged to us and were not an airplane history city. Weāre space and oil.
I donāt care. The name and logo was great. There isnāt a naming rule to these teams.If the fans like it, then it works. By the way, the owner kept the name when he came moved the team to Houston because of the Space aspect of the city.
Although the name āAerosā had been chosen in honor of the Wright brothers, who had lived and worked in Dayton, it was deemed appropriate for Houston given its importance in the space industry.
Aeros = āAeroSPACE.ā
Perfect for Houston, with NASA.
If not thatā¦then the Apollos, after the spacecrafts from the NASA space program.

Iām just not a fan of retread. If it does end up being the Aeros, then make sure the color is Houston blue.
Haha weāre talking as if the team is officially in Houston and we have a say in the name and uniform colors.
Space theme names:
Cosmos
Pulsars
Astronauts. ('Nauts)
Animals:
Armadillos
Red Wolves
Scorpions
Alligator Snapping Turtles (rolls right off the tongue) 
My dad still has a puck from that team.

The Astros are technically the āAstronautsā.
This is like arguing that the Rockets name should have stayed in San Diego because they manufactured actual rockets, while we mostly just have Mission Control.

There is an obvious space connection in Houston so the name fits. Not sure thatās apples to apples.
I mean, the first A in NASA stands for Aeronautics, and they hire a ton of aerospace engineers. Doesnāt seem like that big of a stretch to me.
It could work if we marketed it that way. I donāt think the previous version of the team did.
But this isnāt an issue. They donāt need to explain their marketing. The previous team used the name.
This is exactly why I think teams should forfeit the right to their names when they move. Utah Jazz indeed.

Retread my foot. The logo is timeless.
But if we HAVE to change, I say we call the team the Summits. You know, like the old arena, and poke a finger in Osteenās eye.
