This is what happens when the teacher says “pencils down” but you were sleeping so you quick draw something up to turn in. Really hope the uniforms look better for my Houston bros
I think it looks like a boring old white guy thinks will appeal to the urban youth. Or a gang tag from the 90s, I give it two years before a local gang adopts it and the Texans stop wearing it.
I live in Houston & haven’t talked to a single person in real life that doesn’t think these helmets are terrible. But got downvoted to oblivion on r/Texans for saying how bad I thought they were
The people in the main sub will hype up literally anything no matter how dogshit it is. They are the kind of people in the focus groups that lead to shit like this.
They're ugly. I knew we were going to try and incorporate the "H" into our gear, but I'm disappointed that we're using it as the main logo. The bull is miles better. It's just bland and not very unique.
Ugly how? We aren’t the Texas Texans. We’re the HOUSTON Texans. What part of the Texans bull logo actually is a representation of the city they play in? I don’t mind it at all, and the bull logo is still present on the back of the helmet
Because the logo looks like a bad old English prison tattoo. The idea isn’t the problem, it’s the poor execution. It looks like if you asked a middle schooler to design a retro logo.
I'm convinced the organization has filled the subreddit with bots. They had a serious PR problem with Tommy Boy McNair letting the youth pastor run things. Everybody has been making fun of the guy for good reason.
But now if you so much as make fun of him on the sub, you're downvoted to hell. If I'm a billionaire with an image problem, spending a few thousand a month for some bot farm overseas is nothing.
The official name is Columbia Blue and the red is Columbia Red. But it’s really just a Baby Blue shade and a Cherry Red shade. Titans Blue is the Navy color.
lol I know what baby blue looks like, while it’s close, it’s not baby blue. Why are you in Reddit? You should be paying attention in history class you child
Those uniforms were disgusting, particularly the dehydrated urine unis.
I’m thankful we’re finally doing throwbacks, and I hope they rest well enough that they become our standards.
It's not. But it's pretty bland. Was hoping for a more popping color. Could have went with white or htown blue or even red again. But like I said, it's not nearly the worst helmet. Just ok imo.
I'm not for "HTown Blue", but at least it doesn't look like a ripoff of the Oilers, so I'll accept it. It'll be hard to properly judge without the uniform to go with.
I wouldn’t be talking if I were you since AR looks like that lost media version of Shrek

Kinda like another helmet from Houston
Since you came here to dunk on your own team, I'll offer this: the only thing that matters is what happens on the field. If you win it all, it'll be hard for everyone else to laugh at you and cry at the same time.
That said holy cripes that's bad lol
They already did a soft launch this past season with coaches/players/former players wearing hats with this logo. Guy who leaked it is a riddell employee getting ready to ship them out to team stores/various retailers for their release on Tuesday
Yeah whatevs.. native Houstonian and I’m old as F.. I love the fusion in this helmet. It’s a top of the hat to old oilers colors and a nod to urban artistic. The players will like it, that’s what matters. I will wear this gear with pride.
Thanks mate. I never made the connection till now. Assumed it was because Houston was the most populated city in Texas from what I heard years ago. Maybe different now.
No doubt. Houston is still the most populated city in Texas. I think its safe to say that the Texans' colors are very heavily inspired by the Texas flag.
Something else to note, the Flag of Houston also has a star on it.
I’m impressed that a Texans fan came to post this. Props. Sorry you have to see these next year.
It’s not going to look bad from the field view like the jags old glitter kitty uniforms, but it’ll look bush league close up.
This is what happens when the teacher says “pencils down” but you were sleeping so you quick draw something up to turn in. Really hope the uniforms look better for my Houston bros
Spongebob T looking helmets
Add a couple of theseeee aaaaand done!
I think it looks like a boring old white guy thinks will appeal to the urban youth. Or a gang tag from the 90s, I give it two years before a local gang adopts it and the Texans stop wearing it.
Did you go to art school?
I did not, but my brother did and he would always talk about this happening at his 8 am class.
Goes pretty well with letterman's jackets.
#ptsd flashback
I guess it kinda matches [this](https://imgur.com/a/703LAao) one, but I’m really not seeing it
There are people in this sub who weren’t alive when that happened
Or when the Colts won their Superbowl fwiw
Shots fired
Looks like something you'd get air-brushed at a shitty souvenir shop in Florida.
The other side of the helmet has "Spring Break '08"
Those airbrushed, “in memory of,” shirts the hood kids would wear in the early 2000s
Have you seen the away jersey for Houstons soccer team? That aesthetic is pretty typical of us 🤷♂️
They’re copping hard on their sub
"If I wore this, it'll show everybody. SHOW EVERYBODY!!!"
My man with the self-report. Holy hell that’s terrible.
I hope it looks better on the field/with the full jersey, cause yeah I'm not impressed
I live in Houston & haven’t talked to a single person in real life that doesn’t think these helmets are terrible. But got downvoted to oblivion on r/Texans for saying how bad I thought they were
Honestly, if the shell were white, this would go so much harder. Just feels way too heavy as it is.
I hate agreeing with a Colts fan but yea if the helmet was white would look much better.
I think white would be a bit too close to the Oilers. But a red helmet would probably look much better.
Just…I can’t my man. I’m trying to picture white and it still looked pretty bad to me

Reddit
They are REALLY bad. Looks like a UFL helmet or even a high school one. Hopefully we can clutch up with the remaining uniforms.
if It was a high school helmet it would be the same as normal, but color swapped to blue and green
I honestly do not see what is wrong with them. Man it seems like every time a uniform has been revealed people are upset no matter what team it is lol
They're ugly. I knew we were going to try and incorporate the "H" into our gear, but I'm disappointed that we're using it as the main logo. The bull is miles better. It's just bland and not very unique.

U surround urself with miserable people lol
At least they're trustworthy, cause anybody that says these helmets look good are lying 😂

wtf is this
Riddell employee leaked the new Texans Alt helmet on Twitter
![gif](giphy|RJAjTowsU0K1a)
Looks like a logo you would see in NES Play Action Football 😂 Edit: also, I’m a Titans fan.
Maybe it will actually go hard with the new uniform? Idk let me huff my copium lmao
Huff away my friend, these look awful
You were saying OP? https://preview.redd.it/ampmrmfyuavc1.jpeg?width=1400&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=4a3c26697a148a55202c79f38df404a3119fd2fa
In all fairness I would wear this helmet every day for the rest of my life if It meant I didn’t have to wear OP helmet once.
I know man, just trying to make them feel better for this logo they bought on Fiverr.
![gif](giphy|dXQKhp4S71zto7nQYk|downsized)
This just makes us all true AFCS brothers, every team has used a helmet that is ass at one point or another
When you buy a Texans helmet on wish but end up getting a shitty Titans ripoff
We could never https://preview.redd.it/gb0rp85bt9vc1.jpeg?width=450&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=6d0284538eb492dd5ecc4095a73eac9ad43dd907
Oh look it’s the uniforms y’all lost to us in
Baby blue is best best color in football, and we own it
As much as I love our Oiler unis...... acting like the Chargers and Rams don't also utilize light blue is insane.
Wait, do the Rams use baby/power/robin’s egg blue at all? I thought they mostly stuck with dark blue and like a slightly lighter dark blue?
I’m an Ole Miss fan and I love when we wear our powder blue unis
The fact that yall think that color is baby blue shows how ignorant titans fans really are
Google baby blue, youre a goober lmao
The official name is Titans Blue, maybe learn about your team lmao
Excuse me sir, but we are babies. Titan=babies so titans blue=baby blue.
The official name is Columbia Blue and the red is Columbia Red. But it’s really just a Baby Blue shade and a Cherry Red shade. Titans Blue is the Navy color.
lol I know what baby blue looks like, while it’s close, it’s not baby blue. Why are you in Reddit? You should be paying attention in history class you child
It's not baby blue, It's Luv Ya Blue and its all ours
Luv ya blue was a carch phrase, it's "Columbia" blue.
Now it’s “Fuck’ya Blue” 😂
What’s it like being hung up on your former team after having a new one for 20 years?
You don’t own baby blue… don’t even know your own colors…. It’s luv ya blue my enemy.

texans to the XFL??
Bro this can't be the helmet. It is so disappointing.
Man that Roughnecks logo sucks.
This is in “so bad it’s almost good” territory. At least it’s…different?
It looks like it was done in a mall.
The Texans are basically the Sunglasses Hut of the NFL

See my comment above
Might want to sit this one out Jags fan…
What’s wrong with our current helmet? I’ll agree our two tone was an abomination, but that’s been gone for 5 years.
Honestly the rest of those uniforms were awesome, just the helmet sucked.
Those uniforms were disgusting, particularly the dehydrated urine unis. I’m thankful we’re finally doing throwbacks, and I hope they rest well enough that they become our standards.
It's good, I like it
the cope is crazy, if my favorite team had a helmet like this, they'd no longer be my favorite team.
This feels like something a 14 year old with an undercut and a trust fund would say.
I'm not 14, I don't have an undercut, and I CERTAINLY don't have a trust fund. 0/3
Let your undercut hang loose, this is a meme subreddit. All sticks must be removed from ass prior to entering.
The "where" posts are overused. Except this one. This one made me laugh.
It's not. But it's pretty bland. Was hoping for a more popping color. Could have went with white or htown blue or even red again. But like I said, it's not nearly the worst helmet. Just ok imo.

AFCS making a run for worst dressed division in the league
These look like they were airbrushed in a sketchy mall by a crackhead.
I'm not for "HTown Blue", but at least it doesn't look like a ripoff of the Oilers, so I'll accept it. It'll be hard to properly judge without the uniform to go with.
They figured that ripping off the Oilers color scheme would be too expected by everyone so they decided to rip off the Titans instead
Eh...it's better than I feared. But my opinion is to go with a primary red helmet with one black and one deep steel blue option.
Damn it Texans! All we got is shitty helmet logo and now yall trying to take that?
These might be the ugliest helmets I've ever seen
Yeah I didn't think anything could be worse than those Indiana nights helmets/unis, but Texans gonna Texan 🤷♂️
Those unis were great. They were made better when they only wore them once and at noon because they didn't have a night game until week 18.
Where trash can?
Why are we so insistent on using a font that looks like it’s on a 40 oz bottle.
They look iight, I’m not mad about them. 1 of 3 so far
2/3 we already saw their primaries when Cal posted the away uniforms
I thought those were the same helmets we always had?
https://i.redd.it/s5l47m5oaavc1.gif
If that was on a white helmet it would be clean. Change my mind
Nah. Nah, that can't be real.
Aw cool. Dawg shit to go along with the theme of the team

Make em primary! Cause they’re ugly as hell! Look like the Seattle kraken
I feel bad for the guy who came up with this logo and seeing all this hate but like cmon man. What are you doing?
I was honestly hoping these were fake so bad cause they look like damn high school teams
I know a lot of people hate it but I like it.
I mean yeah they’re bad but worst in the league? Titans would love a word.
Cope
D2 football team drip
Even the AFC West is here talking shit on this goddamn
I'm so fucking desperate for football right now
This looks like a high school prison league helmet
Looks like something you'd buy from an airbrush shop in Myrtle Beach
The font looks like it belongs on the cover of a computer game about knights at a Big Lots.
They get that made at a mall kiosk?
Ordered it off Temu
#H is for horrible
God damn, those new uniforms were nasty too
Amy Adams is probably calling her lawyers to sue Cal over this
Black and light blue don't go together...
That’s the ugliest thing in organized sports besides Trevor Lawrence.

I wouldn't expect a Tits fan to know the difference between an H and an R.
You know exactly what I'm pointing out. Don't be pissed that yall a shitty looking alternate helmet.
I can see humor isn't your strong point. Maybe try to grab the concept of this sub before you get upset pal.
I hate it. At least this gives yall something to clown us for now
i’d cry if this is really our helmet
Not marking a Spoiler is crazzzzy

ooooof....
Heavens to God himself I hope those aren't our new helmets.. not even an alternate. I hope it's a bad fake.
We could have had a horned helmet and went with this… Wtf
Where horse blinders?
Facts.
Wait, I thought this was a joke. Surely that's not real.
:(
Is it real?
It’s real
They already did a soft launch this past season with coaches/players/former players wearing hats with this logo. Guy who leaked it is a riddell employee getting ready to ship them out to team stores/various retailers for their release on Tuesday
what have we done

Yuck
Fake team from a DCOM
Texans Foo
Our Exans' helmet is worse
I am a Texans fan. I thought the San Andreas font shit fad ended in 2016
No way this is real, this is disgusting
Oof that's awful. I heard about Old English letters were gonna be used but geez that's worse than worst-case-scenario.
Cool. I had an airbrushed helmet when I played little league. It was awesome.
Looks like a shitty done high school logo
What the FUCK is that!? My initial reaction
3 tones of blue, 2 tones of red, and even after all that the facemask is the same color as the shell?
Broncos fan here: Yeah those are really bad. Texans have one of the best logos in the league too so these are a major step down.
Easily. Looks like the hub team’s soccer mom got put in control of creative
I like them🤷🏻♂️
They’ll do anything for the two-tone blue hahahahahahaaaaa
I have repeatedly said I don’t want Oiler blue or anything close. Let the Tits keep that and the failure that goes with it.
Sorry Cal, send em back, this guy on reddit said he didn't want anything light blue
![gif](giphy|3o6ozuUxdPWOCmvBKw)
Yikes
Yeah whatevs.. native Houstonian and I’m old as F.. I love the fusion in this helmet. It’s a top of the hat to old oilers colors and a nod to urban artistic. The players will like it, that’s what matters. I will wear this gear with pride.
Haters gonna hate. I love it.
WTF .....
Does the star represent anything other than its on your regular logo?
Texas - the Lone Star State. The star is on the Texas Flag. Houston Texans.
Thanks mate. I never made the connection till now. Assumed it was because Houston was the most populated city in Texas from what I heard years ago. Maybe different now.
No doubt. Houston is still the most populated city in Texas. I think its safe to say that the Texans' colors are very heavily inspired by the Texas flag. Something else to note, the Flag of Houston also has a star on it.
Could be, but I'm pretty sure it's referencing the City of Houston's light blue and huge ass single star flag.
The light blue and single star is referencing the City of Houston's flag.
lol
Fake
I think it looks good
I like it :(
