I think a shoulder cap designed like the 2020/2021 Olympics basketball shorts could work too. Or like Reading's sleeves from this year, but probably less diffusion in the striping patterns. Wait. Are you actually advocating for this type of gradient striping on an NFL uniform? To each their own, but…c’mon man. You’ve got better taste than that! 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McCall Posted February 1, 2023 Share Posted February 1, 2023 I think, if the Texans went with the red helmets full-time, they could go red over navy over red, like the Memphis Express did (minus all the gradients and side-paneling). Houston's navy is darker, but would work. Leave the numbers white, as well. 13 1 https://dribbble.com/MakaioCall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We give a lot of leeway to the Astros Tequila Sunrise. The key there is right context. I wouldn't be opposed to something like that, but it'd have to make sense for the team's overall brand identity and not just because OOH LOOK TEQUILA SUNRISE STRIPES!!!54321 or something like that. Right off hand maybe only one or two NFL teams could get away with something like that...three if they play it right...but none of those teams are the Lions. 6 *Disclaimer: I am not an authoritative expert on stuff...I just do a lot of reading and research and keep in close connect with a bunch of people who are authoritative experts on stuff. || dribbble || Behance || Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's happening. I'm 99% certain at this point. If at least only for an alternate set, but it's going to show up. The owners wouldn't have spoken about it specifically and they're pushing merch with the colors pretty hard. JJ Watt who always wanted to wear the throwback Oilers, is wearing the new H-TOWN merch with columbia blue pants and Chicago flag beanie in an Instagram post today. I bet he still has connections and knows what's coming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And are my eyes fooling me, or is that a brighter shade of light blue...something more along the lines of the Panthers' blue, with a lil more green in it, rather than the softer luv-ya blue?? IF that's what they're doing, that could be a viable workaround to the IP issues (unless my previously-spoken conspiracy theory becomes true, that is)...and in truth, I wouldn't be mad about seeing that bright a colorway in the NFL or in Houston. (At that/this point, though, they may as well change the nickname since it's so obvious the direction they're going in.) 2 *Disclaimer: I am not an authoritative expert on stuff...I just do a lot of reading and research and keep in close connect with a bunch of people who are authoritative experts on stuff. || dribbble || Behance || Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JJ might be sending signals, but it's not like he's a team executive. Not sure I'd even call this a leak. It's more suggestive of being a clue than proof of anything. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of uniform things we dissect around here are nothing, but deliberately choosing the red helmets for the background of the first photos taken of your new head coach is very easy to believe as a more of a something than a nothing. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
