After digesting the unveiling, these are my thoughts. Pros Not as disjointed as I thought it be. Thankfully it's no Dallas. I like the brighter red. I like the red bull helmets. At least we have stripes on all pants albeit incomplete. OK with the Old English H. My mother and brother don't like it. Unpopular opinion: I do like the number font. It has grown on me. It's on all jerseys giving them all one unifying element. Red jersey is ok. Like the previous set, it's actually symmetrical with the white. I do like the Color Rush though I wish that jersey was light blue but I guess the BESFs threw a pi$$y, hissy fit. At least H-Town is only on one jersey. Cons NAVY IS STILL THE DAMN PRIMARY. The primary is the most basic of all basic. Now we look like a Bears ripoff Navy numerals on the away. Two navy helmets? Should be just one navy candy-colored paint swapping the decals. Should have used white or light blue for the third. Like what we seen with the Broncos sample, Texans will probably wear yoga pants with in every combo like they did a most of last year. I was one of the ones that said last year "Hey, the Cards were OK outside the college wordmark, maybe they'll wear them in good combos". Boy was I wrong. 6.9/10. May buy Madden to play with combos.

And navy's the primary again. Ugh.

Or UTSA.

It's not a bad thing. Just an observation. I love actually the game combos. Especially since the current Mariners are that nice midpoint between the colorfulness of the late 80's/early 90's (teal) and the darker mid to late nineties (royal -> navy).

The definition of the the 90's.

Blame Color Rush. The answer is always Color Rush.

Traces of the Toughening remain. With the shine of championship victory.

Far right's not to shabby either. It's the only other one that has contrasting pants and socks. Depends on how you feel on the white helmet.

I say not bad on the Broncos. On the other hand this does legitimize the leaks. Please let the red be the primary....

Sadly yes.

@Chi-Tex_Kidd You have chosen violence today. As for Detroit, I'll parrot everyone here. Stripes need to be on the other pants, all in all good. Blue/Black/Blue/Black will go hard.

I think the reason a lot of Texans fans like the newer stuff is because like Orange Crush and the Creamcicles, the now-old set represents futility. Not getting past the divisionals. An endless quarterback carousel that has just now seemingly ended. Wasted hall of fame careers. Easterby. All with a uniform that could be for any team, a color scheme overused in sports in general (including 3 teams with some extras in the NFL, our archrival being one of them) and a name that would have fit 70 years ago but not the time in which the team was founded when we were expecting something more local. Plus replacing an identity that is apotheosized even on these boards, is a tough sell. I'll wait to see whole thing in action.

Look closer on the bumper...

So the unis live up to the statement. Now we just got to see the pants.

Also works because it's a horizontal gradient with the same finish. They're probably choosing a name behind the scenes. We'll see the classic uni again. Clock got reset with the sale.

Z! T! 3! L! ZT3LS! ZT3LS! ZT3LS!

They did it once for a photoshoot in 2019.

Texans Redesign mini-movie.

I'm guessing red, white and navy helmets for us,

JJ's one but he's retired.

Used to hang out the Battle Red Blog a lot where they were called Baby-Eating Sister Fornicators or BESFs, a play on the Greek mythological lore of the Titans.

Or the Niners going from three strips to two. It was vibrant as it could be during the Toughening. I remember when the original got unveiled, my eyes lingered on the away way more then it did on the navy homes. Look at that combo. The red POPPED on there. And the all-white version with the navy socks weren't to shabby either. And Battle Red. There's a reason why I want them to the primary.

I badly wanted something space themed.
