The Oxy patch is a circular patch on the left sleeve of the Houston Astros uniform that features the red, white, and blue logo of Occidental Petroleum Corporation, also known as Oxy. Oxy is an oil and gas exploration and production company based in Houston, Texas, and it is an official jersey partner of the Astros for the next seven years thanks to a deal signed back in February 2022. The Astros were one of the first teams to take advantage of the new rule that allows teams to display advertisements on their uniforms. The patch is gold on the first two nights of the season to match the coloring of the 2022 World Series champions uniforms. The Astros deal with Oxy has been controversial, with some fans taking issue with the fact that the Astros had chosen to partner with a company that they saw as environmentally destructive, while others saw the move as a betrayal of the teams history and values.
