The great /r/Astros flair revamp of 2025

Hello all!

For an awful long time on this sub there has been a distinct lack of flair updates. I think everyone has probably grown a bit tired of choosing between the various members of the 2020 squad and the same set of logos.

But no longer!

I've been through and created a whole host of new flair options for you to choose from. A complete set of current players! Familiar faces from seasons gone by! All the logos you could ever dream of! Other fun stuff! It's all in there – ready for you to choose from right now.

Also, I've added text to go alongside the flairs on new Reddit, so you can more easily tell what they are.

Go forth and flair up; looking forward to seeing a bit more variety in the game threads.

 

 

Answers to questions I expect might arise below:

 

How do I change my flair?

On new Reddit desktop, navigate to the /r/Astros homepage. The second panel down on the sidebar is noted 'USER FLAIR'. Hover over this, and click the pencil icon that appears.

On old Reddit desktop, navigate to the /r/Astros homepage. Underneath the 'at the Juice Box' and 'warming up to pitch' numbers, click the picture icon and a pop-up will appear.

On the official Reddit app, navigate to the /r/Astros homepage. There's three dots in the top right corner. Tap these, and then tap 'change user flair'.

On other Reddit apps, you're on your own as these can vary dramatically, but a quick Google should show you how to do it.

 

Why has this taken so long?

A variety of reasons, including changes to the mod team, the switch between old Reddit and new Reddit introducing discrepancies in how the general management of the sub's appearance functions. I identified this as something that needed doing a while ago, but it has been a very labour intensive process, requiring each individual picture to be saved, cropped, resized, the background removed, etc. Reordering the flairs requires manually dragging each one to its desired position! In addition, icons made for old Reddit don't always display well on new Reddit, so these had to be adjusted as well.

 

What happened to the old anime, NPB, alcohol etc. flairs?

They're still around, and anyone who wants one can have them, so if you've currently got one of these flairs don't worry about testing out another one as it's easily switched back by a mod. I made the decision to remove these from the publicly available list so it wasn't hundreds of flairs long! However, Reddit allows old flairs to be stored as emojis, so if you'd like to have one of the old set just send a modmail (or DM me) and it can be sorted out. Equally, if your flair doesn't have a text tag and you'd like one, let me know.

 

Will new flairs be added as players come and go?

That's the intention. I think the fact the old set was so out of date and that so much needed doing imposed a bit of a mental barrier to even doing small updates, but now we've got a decent set going this shouldn't be the case any longer.

 

Can I leave suggestions for new flairs?

Absolutely! We'd probably say no to adding your favourite middle reliever from the 1970s, but I've probably missed some obvious things so please feel free to throw ideas out there – they'll be added much quicker than they have been in the past! Equally, if there's any errors with the current set or if things aren't displaying properly, let me know.
