Constellation Field is set to host a Launch Party from 4-7 p.m. on Jan. 29 in which the Houston Astros will publicly announce the new brand for its Triple A franchise, The Skeeters, in Sugar Land. The re-branding of the Triple A franchise in Sugar Land will take effect immediately. Unless you have been hiding under a rock, you have likely heard that the new name for the Skeeters will be, drumroll please....The Space Cowboys.

A presentation of the new brand, including a mascot introduction, logos and uniforms, will kick off the event. The Launch Party will serve as the first opportunity for fans to purchase merchandise with the new branding. The Constellation Field Team Store will be open throughout the event and merchandise will be available for purchase online through the team’s official website.
