The Oxy patch on the Houston Astros jersey is a sponsorship deal between the team and Occidental Petroleum Corporation, also known as Oxy. The patch features the companys familiar red and blue logo, which is sewn onto the sleeve of the Astros jerseys. The Astros were one of the first teams to take advantage of the new rule that allows teams to have a sponsored patch on their uniforms. The Oxy logo will be featured on the Astros jersey sleeve throughout the regular season and any postseason games. The only exception will be two games where the logo will be gold instead to match the coloring of the 2022 World Series champions’ uniforms. The patch has been criticized by some fans for being too big and detracting from the purity of the game. Despite the backlash, the Astros defended their decision to partner with Oxy.
