This shirt celebrating 713 Day in Houston might be the first official Texans product I’ve seen use the Columbia blue Texans logo I know I’m making something out of nothing, and I shouldn’t make too much off of a fashion shirt… BUT, when ownership said they were negotiating the colors with the league I wonder if the Titans want them to drop the Navy blue so it’s not an exact match and we will see black outlines instead EDIT - That cup looks like it’s using deep steel blue, so I’m probably just grasping at straws, but we have seen an increased use of black

I think it might have to do with UA having $ issues and the school not having leverage. Not 100% sure. Cal is with BSN now too.

Whole sale doesn’t mean it has to be bad. UTEP’s Adidas’s uniforms are through Game One which is a challenger brand to BSN.

You might not like the looks, but this is just not true. NC State is one of the premier Adidas schools and has had access others do not.

I wouldn’t read too much into the template with Broncos. Texans are using the new FUSE (but the version without the dramatic seam) and they confirmed for new next year.

Rockets have changed the sleeve trim on their black uniform from dark gray to red.

Rockets have changed their Twitter header and profile picture to the toothed Rocket era logo and secondary logo.

There teaser is also on billboards in Houston.

I think Texans will be announcing JJ Watt as a 1 day contract and ring of honor guy.

Anything other than the 2024 uniforms being unveiled is going to massively confuse most of the fan base. If this is just the change to FUSE it’s extra dumb. I can see it being making red the primary, but they shouldn’t be hyping it like this unless that change is carrying over to the new set.

I like pant stripes, but the ravens are bad example to me. This black pants with stripes were awful. I’m sure you could do a better version, those aren’t it.

Alpha Pro Stock has the FUSE collar, but is not the FUSE, it’s also just the stock jersey which I’d be surprised if they used. It’s possible they will have some inventory that’s not public, but that catalog is not reflective of what’s available live necessarily. The FUSE has been off the Nike Team site since December when they announced they were out of capacity for it. But Cincinnati might be a special case.

I don’t think it will be FUSE because Cincinnati is going through BSN and not Nike direct. Nike cut off team dealer capacity for FUSE in December.

No, the fan base. Maybe not all of them, but it’s what people are talking about and want and is a big of enough deal down here that it’s been on the news etc, not just normal uniform rumor stuff. Additionally, all signs point to some form of light blue being used. So feelings aside, concepts without them are leaving out what the team is actively marketing and saying and showing.

These are sharp, but anything without light blue is going to be a major disappointment to the fan base.

I worked on what I think the Texans could look color wise, details obviously would be different. But I think it shows you can add the light blue without looking like the Titans.

Rockets were running big sales on their city and throwbacks. Guessing they will get new of each?

My guess is the Texans will be way more red heavy. Wouldn’t shock me if the two helmets are “battle red” and “H-Town Blue” with the “deep steel blue” helmet being gone.

Credible leak was the Columbia blue H hat from their uniform meeting with the media. Sounds like there’s some push back from the league that they are working through. Ownership has been clear that light blue is also found on city flag and Houston police cars. Based on everything we’ve seen and heard it seems like they will add light blue to their current colors and focus on red overall more. I’d expect the old English H Town font to be prevalent too.

Hard to tell the Texans to not use light blue if you never use it.

I like the name Commanders, but they should have at least had a Commander secondary logo. And the uniforms of course are a mess.

I don’t even hate the red one by itself. I just hate that it doesn’t match the black and white.

And RWB means they are talking about red white blue teams. So the Chiefs don’t apply to either, but I do like the other points you made. the Texans owner who made the inmates comments is dead also, this is his son.

It’s not a trend it’s a large part of the cities culture for over 30 years.

“I suppose that's part of the urban culture, too, but like custom low riders, I don't think that's something you brand a professional sports team after. Be better, Houston.“ And then we straight up have a guy saying they are pandering to blacks. what year is this thread?
