GriffinM6 Posted August 5 Share Posted August 5 USF did a much better job with their horn sleeve design in the mid-2010s. Would've looked better without the contrasting sleeves though. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would've looked better without the contrasting sleeves though. Highly disagree. Even ignoring the sleeves I don't like anything about these. The shape of the horn is awkward and doesn't read well. The taper stripes add motion in the wrong direction. It makes way more sense to have the horns coming forward rather than being hid toward the back side. Texans look good IMO. I agree that red numbers & socks would liven it up and they didn't need to go so dark with the navy but that's pretty standard. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carolingian Steamroller Posted August 5 Share Posted August 5 It's a very interesting contrast debuting the Texans new road uniforms against the Bears. I actually think the horns are fairly well executed. They aren't stretching in odd shapes (at least not that I've seen) and provide more or less the intended effect. I think going with more red on the pant stripe was the right call and I would definitely welcome red socks. If I have one complaint its that the horns aren't connected to the helmet logo but it feels like they should be. The horns are basically an abstracted version of the logo but it's not so abstract that the mind (at least a mind hyper focused on uniform details) can't quite let it go. I wonder it the uniform would look better overall by using a version of H mark on the helemt? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They do use a version of the H mark on the helmet…it’s just tiny and way in the back. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure but I'm talking as the main logo. Just so you don't the the logo horn and the not quite logo horns in the same image. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WSU151 Posted August 5 Share Posted August 5 2024 Sideline hats are up on Fanatics, and there's a lot of them that cover a wide array of looks - a few of the Jets' hats (but not all): 1 1 Quote Smart is believing half of what you hear.

The new uniform, the pants will go much better with the red socks because of the stripe, but the jersey's use of red as an accent will make them stick out. The old one has the problem of red being the accent color on the pants, but matching the jersey better. I wish we had seen the old Color Rush pants with red socks to see if they would have been better balanced. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It does help balance out the red. I don't think the new versions of these elements on the Texans' uniforms will work so well, though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think your link's broken - I assume you wanted to show something like this tbh you still can't really see the pants stripes on this one either 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
