I'm relieved they didn't use the old English H-Town design they've been peddling out the last year.




Apparently everything is still on table.... and I agree it is awful
Im looking for Ray Finkle.... and a clean pair of shorts. Im just a very big Finkle fan. This is my Graceland, sir.

Hope so I was under the impression that Columbia blue would be a primary color moving forward. I just don't see it anywhere in this uniform. I didn't realize it was just going to be an alternate color I don't know any organization that does that. Wish we'd ditch navy helmet for red
Agree, I wish we would make the red helmets the primary. They look so good
The red helmet are the thing that could become the symbol of a franchise, that strikes fear in other teams' fans when they see it coming. Disappointed if it's not part of the new look.

I don't mind the red helmet but I don't like the candy apple red color. It doesn't match the uniform colors

It was in response to someone leaking a pic of a non-player in the uniform earlier in the day.

And those who have seen the rest of the designs are saying there is a lot more cool stuff coming.

ETA - here was the original leak that people were slamming.



WTF is this?

Looks like a HS player who got the last of the jerseys so his doesn't fit right and someone took a cell phone pick of him inside the local fieldhouse showers.

I was afraid we'd end up with some dumb **** on the shoulder pads, looks too much like the Seahawks or Falcons. I hope this is fake news, not a fan at all.

Win a lot of games and no one will care what the uniforms look like.

Really, I just want the NFL to go back to its loud-ass jerseys and helmets of the 70s and 80s

I like how the collar isn't blue. I don't know why but that always bothered me on the old white uniforms because the collar on the Nike jersey is too thick.

I actually like them. They're pretty clean. I need to see the whole set before I fully judge.

The numbers are pretty bad. Look more like something an expansion league would make.

Edit: the better view of the sleeves I guess are supposed to look like bull horns.

Quote:

According to Texans TV Host Drew Dougherty, the franchise plans to display their new uniforms the week of the 2024 NFL Draft in April. Their new jerseys will commemorate H-Town Blue in each of the four uniforms, paying homage to the Houston Oilers.

So based on this article from SI back in February I don't think these uniforms are legit. The template might be the same but unless there's outright lies being published there's nothing in the "leaked" photos that indicates anything commemorative of the Oilers. Consider me a skeptic about these, but if the official release happens at the draft as indicated we've still got about 5 weeks to go before we actually see the real uniforms.

The leaked photo of the 12 year old in the new uniform was taken at a reception for local media last week which unveiled all 4 uniforms. The picture got out and so Cal put out a better picture. This was a good decision given the leaked it looked like it was taken on a polaroid with terrible lighting.

Supposedly the other three are more exciting, so there's that.

I wouldn't believe this was a "fake out" or anything. The amount of coordination it would take to do this would be a lot, but I guess not technically out of the realm of possibilities.

I heard today that they did a photo shoot in the old Houston Post building. That's why you see the crappy wall in the background.

They were able to bring in all the light boxes and green screens and whatever to do the player shoots.

I knew I should've waited for a better image to judge them especially with more of the pants showing. Kinda bland but I still like them.

I think a lot of folks just don't like the shade of blue, but I'm not one of them.

Interesting, that's the same build as Autry. I'm starting to wonder if they're going to go the true NT route with the big boys they got and then have more of a quick DT next to them with Anderson and Hunter on the outside. Then against heavy run teams double up on the big boys, move the quick DT to end and rotate Anderson and Hunter on the otherside?

Yes that seemed to always be the case. Autry and Edwards can hold their own inside.

Only one team ran more run plays than pass plays last year so makes some sense to adapt.

Would be cool if they and most other NFL teams would stop wearing monochromed socks. Looks high school. Two toned socks or socks with Stripes were always a trademark look of a professional uniform in my eyes.

Saw this concept online and this is a look I'd of definitely gotten behind. In this the red of the helmet matches the red pants and numbers so it works. The red helmet before didn't match the tone and sheen of the uniforms so it bothered me.

I think in the end there will be no pleasing everyone as seen from this thread. Especially since the new uniforms are a direct result of feedback from both the players and a lot of the die hard fans. And that's probably how it should be.

That looks better than the all red combo they wore against the Jags. That was overkill.

pretty insane that on a message board there are people with different opinions on color schemes
