As far as the Texans’ new s
Haha, @jamesizzo, the page forcibly reloads itself a lot, sometimes losing the message I’m composing in the process. It reloaded as I was typing the word “set” this time. I don’t think I hit the post button, but sometimes the box does jump around the screen.

I don't see the whole point of the argument for the recent revival of the Oilers color scheme/vibe for the Texans and the Titans. Yes, both teams have valid claims, and it is part of both of their histories (to an extent). It would be easier if both teams just laid off the claims. I feel like we might be focusing too much on the past. The era of the Oilers is done and finished.
For me it’s just kind of about nobody wanting to claim Columbia blue. I would be fine with the Titans doing what they did for part of the Fisher era and going with Columbia blue for their main color and navy for their secondary.

As far as the Texans’ new set goes, I would gladly take the gaudy H-Town Blue set with red socks over their regular home set with white pants and white socks (both of which they have modeled, so it isn’t just a hypothetical).

It will get stale very quickly, and they will modernize the Orange Crush throwbacks for full-time use in either 2029 or 2030.

That brown facemask was horrible and I'm happy we have the white facemasks back. Especially since the team looks closer to the days we had Brian Sipe and Bernie Kosar.
Bengals fan but wholeheartedly agree. The matchups between our teams should look really good.

Disagree completely. Pant stripes at least still look like a football uniform. Stripeless pants leading into socks of the same color is what truly gives off the full legging effect, which I can't stand.Right - it's football, not yoga.

285 C is a fairly common shade. I mean - the Packers, Steelers, Chargers, Chiefs, Commanders, and Cardinals all use 1235 C. Can't easily trademark particular colors (at least, not without a whole lot of legal hurdles).
1. So, with individual colors not being trademarked, could the Texans have told the Titans to screw off and used 279? Or does Tennessee have leaguewide rights to that color? Or would there be some kind of infringement based on being in the same division? Related:
2. I remember reading long ago (like, a decade or more) that the league allowed each team to have one color that was unique to them; other colors they had to share. Is that still the case? Because, honestly, it looks like most teams don’t have a unique color of their own anymore. I mean, what - Dolphins’ aqua, Panthers’ electric blue, Eagles’ teal, the respective shades of purple worn by the Ravens and Vikings? Am I missing any?
3. What is the PMS code for the Broncos’ new royal blue that is used very sparingly? Related:
4. Why have you never included the actual color(s) of the Broncos’ pre-1997 helmets? I’m guessing it would just be an approximation? How close would it be to PMS 307 (Ole Miss’ robins’ egg blue)? (And, for that matter, how about the navy helmets worn at the same time by the Giants and Rams?)
Please don’t take this onslaught of questions the wrong way - I am incredibly thankful for all that you do. Your site is wonderful.

So are they ripping off the Chargers now?
Glad I’m not the only one who immediately thought of them upon seeing that number.

Wait…285? That’s the Chargers’ shade. Ha!

And the worst part if they stop so low, with the little Texans logo so low to accommodate that players wear their shirts out now since thats "fire"
Yeah, untucked undershirts should be an absolute non-starter, to the point that a player should be removed from the game until he tucks his shirt in. Don’t @ me.

I think they should be. I like when the numbers are the same color as the primary jersey.
That’s the safe option, and it usually looks fine. It’s not the only choice, though, and there have been lots of good looks (current Giants, 1997-2002 Falcons, Orange Crush Broncos) that used the secondary color for the number on the white jersey.

True, but the Eagles aren't wearing white helmets, brown jerseys with sublimated feather textures, and yellow shoes and socks because it represents the quality craftsmanship and hardworking, high flying example of the American eagle. That's the difference.
PLEASE DON’T GIVE THEM ANY IDEAS!

I'd be confused. I'd also wonder why, of all uses for a time machine, this is what we've chosen.
The uniforms of the pre-1997 Broncos and Dolphins, pre-2000 Rams, 1997-2002 Falcons, pre-2004 Bengals, and pre-2005 Cardinals are absolutely worth the use of a time machine.

Just noticed a curious thing about the Texans new home jersey, which is relatively simple and inoffensive, except for one baffling detail:
The enlarged photo from Uni Watch apparently shows the TV numbers have no outline. Ugh, why? Who thinks this is okay? Sometimes the simplest solution really is the best one. Just outline them.
I can’t wait to hear the contrived, convoluted reasoning for this decision.
1993 Patriots.

This is a great picture of those front numbers! You can really see how dense the air is in Arkansas!
Yeah, but just looking at that picture, I really can’t tell what the elevation of the area is. At least the Broncos fixed that.

Also a good representation of where they pulled that example from.The triangles represent thin air, not the developers’ rectums.

Wouldn't surprise me one bit to find out she was/is the reason for the "H-Town Blue" even being a thing in the first place...
Well, the Titans have always had that right legally. They are the same franchise as the Oilers. The Texans are not. I’m glad the Titans are sticking in that lady’s craw.

At least it would makes sense for Minnesota and any other Upper Midwest team if they did that because of the climate *runs before tomatoes goes my direction*
As a one-off sure. And as somebody else posted earlier, I would gladly take this in exchange for no more plain white socks with their regular uniforms.

So the mothership reports that the Vikings are also adding white helmets, to go with new leaked white alternate jerseys, which have LITERAL ICICLES HANGING OFF THE NUMERALS BECAUSE OMG THEY'RE SO ICY AND CLEAN.
I cannot wait for this trend to White Star Line itself straight into the briny ing deep.
I think this is the year that the trend jumps the in popularity.

You know the biggest mystery.... how did Antonio Brown become the foremost authority in uniform leaks?
Well, his brain has been leaking since at least college. At least now it’s leaking useful things.
