    Yeah, this is kinda how I feel.  The Texans new look isn't bad, but I always thought they should embrace the red as a primary uniform to contrast the in-state NFL team Cowboys navy blue primary.

    I saw this about an interview Cal did this morning, "For those wishing a different uniform was home or away, the league basically told them which ones they had to use for home/away."
    Seems like most Houstonians prefer the red as well, but I guess it wasn't possible?

  2. Here are some tidbits regarding the Texans updates:

    Here's some updates on the branding and uniforms from Doug Vosik (VP of marketing).

     

    Big points were: 

     

    "H-Town Made" wasn't the original idea for the brand. That came from the fans. 

     

    Designs are done and Nike is working on making prototypes. They'll be done in November. There will be a few new surprises with the helmets in store.

     

    Very diverse opinions from focus groups. There was no consensus based on any demographics, older and younger fans all had diverse opinions. Players had their own opinions.

     

    A lot of fans wanted to lean into the bulls and horns imagery.

     

    H-Town blue has been around since well before a certain football that used to occupy the Astrodome. There will be a tribute to the H-town blue color in the new uniforms. 

     

    That said, it won't be Oilers unis or anything like the Cougars just did. Just a less overt tribute to the color. 

     

    The four uniform combos will be quite different than each other, not just switching out pants and jerseys and helmets. One will be timeless, traditional. Another will be traditional but modernized. One will get wild with the bull theme. One will have the H-Town blue tribute. One was taken from player feedback and be very mean and tough looking.  

     

    Numbers and fabrics will be refreshed to be more eye-catching and easier for the broadcasters to read. 

     

    The NFL really sped up the process of the new uniforms. Instead of the longer 2-3 year process they streamlined it into a year of focus and then production. The league and Nike wanted to help build up the hype and relevance for the fanbase and team. 

     

    Fans were very clear that the team didn't reflect the city or culture and the team responded to address those concerns and get the brand rectified. 

     

    Uniforms are going to be unveiled in April 2024.
