HOOVER Posted May 14, 2023 Share Posted May 14, 2023 This is a 2024 topic, but have there been any credible leaks or speculation regarding what the Houston Texans are doing with the helmet, or their colors overall? Many are fans of the Red helmet, of which I am not. I think a Matte White helmet with a Navy faceguard would be a good change for them, and we got a little glimpse of how that could look with the XFL's Houston Roughnecks this season (partially). However, the Texans logo looks best on a Navy helmet, but with a standard paint finish, no stripe and a Navy faceguard, it's just really boring. Probably suggested before, but one simple fix: satin Navy finish, metallic Red faceguard. Similar to the original AAF promo helmet (which used a chrome Red faceguard): If they wanted to, they could add a 2-color stripe: 1/2 Red, 1/2 White, that ended a few inches up from the back bottom of the helmet, leaving room for a single White star, replicating the Texas flag. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Texans use a much darker navy than that helmet, and satin would be even more boring than their current helmet. I'd like to see metallic navy with dark royal flecks. Similar to the Giants, but darker. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd like to see metallic navy with dark royal flecks. Similar to the Giants, but darker. It was just the closest example I could find. Personally, I feel the Red face guard is the “pop” and if metallic, the contrast is best when used with an anodized, satin, or matte finish on a helmet, and I don’t find any of those finishes “boring” when executed properly. I do find it boring when everything on the helmet - shell, mask, decals…is glossy/metallic. Either way, the point I’m making is the Red facemask is the pop the helmet needs if they’re retaining a Navy shell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They could do that concurrently with changing their primary to red. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's secondary color used on every uniform element, and they don't use red on their uniforms other than logos. If the Texans keep red a secondary color it'll be just fine. You'll have a primary blue, secondary red team and a primary blue, secondary gray team. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The silver is kind of a tertiary, then they have red and dark grey competing to be quatrary. I don’t like the idea of two teams in the same division both having double-blue, even leaving out the red bit. Whether or not the Texans add light blue, I’d really like to see them make red their dominant color. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustABallCoach Posted May 15, 2023 Share Posted May 15, 2023 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
