JM11_Design Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 Let me preface that these concepts are not what I would like to see, but what I think is most likely based on current rumors, leaks, and press from the Texans. I will try to continue to update these as information gets released. To start, let me go through everything we have seen about the new uniforms: 1. “We said, ‘OK, if you want timeless traditional, here’s the one uniform that answers that,’” he said. “If you want to take it one step further and say timeless traditional gets refreshed, we have one for that. If you said, ‘Hey, I’m into this bull thing, let’s get wild,’ we have one for that. And if someone said, ‘Hey, I want you to pay homage to H-Town Blue,’ and if the players are saying, ‘I want something tough, I want something mean,’ we’ve got something for that.” This points to 4 unique uniforms, specifically a "timeless traditional", "refreshed traditional" "bull thing", and "homage to H-Town Blue". I expect these to be fairly different, with the first two being the primary home and away uniforms. 2. "H-Town Blue— i.e., the Oilers’ old shade of Columbia blue — will be an accent color, not a main color. " and "H-Town Blue will be incorporated in some of the four uniforms the Texans will wear next season." I'm guessing this means that 2 of the uniforms will feature H-Town Blue, obviously the H-Town Blue tribute uniform, and I would guess the refreshed traditional too. 3. "The team’s primary logo will not be changing." Self Explanatory 4. "Fans love Texans Deep Steel Blue, Battle Red and Liberty White," McNair responded. "Maybe we're working on a few surprises for y'all in 2024. We know so many of us love H-Town Blue. Although there are tons of rules around color usage and combinations in the NFL, we're working hard to find a way to honor the 120 year history of H-Town Blue in our city." Blue, Red, and White will continue to be the primary colors, I'm expecting the same shades as well. Without further ado, this is what I believe might be unveiled in April: Let me explain: Modern Classic: I went with red helmets and red jerseys, as I think this is the direction the team will go, especially considering the blue heavy alts that I suspect. Font is the same, but colors inverted from current reds. A flag inspired pattern on the sleeve contains a little bit of "h-town blue", as does the white pant stripes. Blue socks help close out the red, white, and blue look. Traditional Classic: Traditional is almost unchanged away jersey, just paired with a red helmet and pants. Bull Theme: This jersey is based on the blue and white hat in this picture, but with cream instead of white. Horns on the blue alt helmet, a western font, and rope pattern on the sleeves make it "bull" themed. Not a huge fan of this but I keep hearing how one of the uniforms is gonna be all in on the "bull theme", so I wouldn't be surprised with this one. H-Town Blue: Deep steel blue jersey with "H-Town Blue" and white accents, which avoids the titans/oilers issue, and I think is what McNair was hinting at with the remark about the "tons of rules around color usage and combinations in the NFL". Old english H on the helmet and H-Town on the front are from the recent merch sold. This set will use the same unstriped blue pants from the "bull" uniform. Again, this wouldn't be my choice, just my current "betting favorite" given the information we have. I would love to hear what y'all think, and if there's any info, leaks, or merch that I missed that might change what I think is gonna happen, let me know! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CLEstones Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 You think they are going to have 4 entirely different uniforms, with entirely different designs and color pallets? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JM11_Design Posted January 9 Author Share Posted January 9 Yes, the teams marketing director already said basically exactly that here: "Vosik added the four versions of the uniform will be completely different from each other and not simply a repeat in various colors. That would be a way to make sure everyone gets what they want." We already know the uniforms will have Deep Steel Blue, Battle Red, White, and "H-Town Blue" (only on some of the uniforms, and just as an accent), the only addition I made was the cream on the "bull" uniform. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CLEstones Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 Oof. These are going to be worse than the original Browns redesign from 2015. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JM11_Design Posted March 18 Author Share Posted March 18 Concept update with the new confirmed leaked road uniforms. Not entirely sure if the road is the traditional or modern classic, but considering the only big change is the font I'm saying that is the traditional one. Really hoping the font is consistent across all uniforms. Red is moved to bull theme, as I suspect the home uniform will be blue. H-Town tribute very well could be black, but hoping not. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tron1013 Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 I like the “H-Town” concept but it looked to me like the Columbia Blue “H” on the helmet in your concept doesn’t match the updated font on the leaked away set. Not saying they wouldn’t have a mismatch but I hope if they use an “H” on the helmet that it is consistent with the revised font. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I made these before I even realized the wordmark had been tweaked, so I would envision that an "H" on the helmet would match the wordmark. Still not sold on the H but I'm pretty sure it won't be just the logo because it's been said there will be three helmets. 20 hours ago, udubfan19 said: they said blue over white would never be seen again. Do you have a source for this? I researched a good bit for the original post and didn't find anything stating this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dougherty simply said they would not see the exact uniforms they wore in their Wild Card win over the Cleveland Browns again." i guess he could have ment we wouldnt ever have a throwback to the prior jerseys but i initially read it as they would see the combo again.

JM11_Design Posted April 16 Author Share Posted April 16 One last update to the designs, based on the 15 minute teaser video posted by the team. This GIF might have leaked the new home uniform in the back, so I adjusted the home to match. Bull Theme is very likely to be red, and I would expect a horned helmet. The "H-Town Tough" uniform is a shot-in-the-dark but I think it will be mono-blue with a white helmet, likely with a new logo, however, it definitely could just be mono black or white. The promo had lots of shots of the curb art in Houston, so I would expect something calling back to those, I went with the pant stripe.

JM11_Design Posted April 18 Author Share Posted April 18 New leak, new concepts. H-Town Tough alternate is basically a City edition uniform. EDIT: These got spread around on Twitter and Reddit, but to clarify these are just a fan concept and in no way a "leak" EDIT 2: Is the Texans red facemask teaser with the shush sign directed at my concept? Sorry Texans admin I didn't mean for people to think its a leak lol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
