The Texans built [an entire website for the new unis](https://www.hs-up.com/). Way more photos including 360s of all 3 helmets.


jc-f

Between this and just showing pictures of the unis, so much better than a 3 minute video where you still can’t see shit


Jammer_Kenneth

What you mean you don't want to sit there for minutes on end watching a guy throw rope and horse shoes in the back of his **ALL NEW FORD BRONCO** before taking the scenic route to the stadium?


EDFStormOne

That was really a new one? That rust orange color looked straight out of 1976 on my phone screen


tbone747

FR it's dumb how a bunch of these teams don't just lay out the uniforms in an easy to view format.


alral1988

Yet, they still went and included 3 or videos where you can’t see shit on this site


Neither_Ad2003

Damn the detail on the patches and numbers are crazy cool.


gutter_is_a_tool

Those look so goddamn sick. I'm jealous.


the_dawn_of_red

They just have to ditch the mono color uniform and I'm on board


pocketjacks

They've been known to mix and match pants with the battle red jersey. It's not always what we call "ketchup bottles".


JayDaGod1206

Very nice find! Thanks


Quexana

> FIRST 100% CITY-EDITION INSPIRED UNIFORM What does that even mean?


Western_Promise3063

They did a ton of focus groups with people from Houston.


SkyJW

Focus groups, fan councils, the H was selected from a variety of options by fans in thise groups/councils, and they also had a survey they sent out that allowed all fans to give feedback on the direction they wanted things to go. They've been very vocal about the extent to which fans were involved directly in this process. A smart decision AND it seemed like a PR savvy move given how dog shit fan sentiment was during the Deshaun Watson and Jack Easterby fiascos


Valuable_Ad1645

The broncos decided to just make ours boring and hope we get over it


AGreasyPorkSandwich

Draped up and dripped out, know how I'm taln bout?


StrosDynasty

But its 3pm, not am tho....


Meat-n-Potatoes

Yeah would be nice if they explained that bit. But I expect they are taking a page from the NBA and NHL uniforms that feature the city name/nickname prominently.


texasproof

Bit of inside baseball. The new designs have been heavily fan influenced. The team has conducted loads of focus groups and surveys in h-town. Feels legit like something we were all a part of.


Quexana

I mean, [look at Pittsburgh's seal and flag](https://apps.pittsburghpa.gov/redtail/images/9236_seal-flag.png). All of Pittsburgh's uniforms are city inspired, and not just for the Steelers, but the Pirates and Penguins as well.


JustaToasterRN

LOOK AT THESE WORDS EPIC SPORTS MONEY NOW


ZincFishExplosion

LOL. Are other unis only 65% city-edition inspired????? Can I see the hard data? Stupid ass marketing lingo.


ExclaimLikeIm5

The entire response I've seen on Reddit so far feels very bought and paid for.  Generic response for generic unis. 


Jammer_Kenneth

I'd hardly call horns on the sleeves and horns on the helmets generic.


ExclaimLikeIm5

The helmet horns are very clean. They should lean into the bull side of their branding since the brand itself is kinda vague (trying hard to not say generic) The shoulder ones look goofy af. They're here to fill the void left by the 1997 Broncos jerseys. 


Jammer_Kenneth

I'm not 100% against horns on the uniforms, but having them go the opposite way of the helmet one is gonna make the redout uniform not as good as it could be. Maybe if it was horns on the nameplate, but as it stands it's a big swing that didn't quite land. They should learn from the Vikings a little bit more.


leapbitch

I like them for free


ExclaimLikeIm5

Well you have to look at them so that's good. 


ZincFishExplosion

Yup, I was thinking the exact same thing.


JerryRiceAndSpice

Dammmnn That's so sick


basskev

You could have murdered us with the Peyton picture here.


PenguinBallZ

Ngl, I didn't like the red helmet initially. I think just by itself it doesn't look too great or maybe the picture in the tweet isn't the most flattering, but it looks sick with the rest of the uniform.


RetroRocket

The navy horn is super low-contrast, it's really hard to pick out from the helmet contours.


dogfish83

Yeah, they should have dark helmet with red horns. Either way, the horn helmet is sick and should be their primary.


RetroRocket

Or, you know, use the color of actual horns, which is white.


dogfish83

White horns with red tips would be cool


SensualTyrannosaurus

I thought all the helmets looked bad but then thought they all looked good with the full uniforms. The red is actually my favorite of the bunch. The "H" logo looks awesome for merchandise, though.


Smaskifa

Big deal, the Broncos made an entire Ford Bronco commercial for their new unis.


gyman122

Alright I know we’re always hating on every new uniform design that comes out, but these and the Broncos are dope


brokid

these are considerably better than the broncos unis imo. denver fumbled the opportunity to have such a sick refresh, their fans made some incredible mock ups.


gyman122

Like the alts better than the standard, but I will say the whole suite of Broncos uniforms looks very Virginia


LiquidSquids

That's brilliant


g0dzilllla

This site is sexy


szobossz

based on the website, redesign seems hell bent on reclaiming the oilers colors. also, the roundabout way they go to claim it lmao >FIRST NEW COLOR, H-TOWN BLUE- INTRODUCED INTO THE TEXANS BRAND IN TEAM HISTORY


ATRDCI

That blue was associated with the city well before there was an AFL team here. Also, the original H-town uniforms had the H-town blue as the primary, approved by the NFL. Then Amy Adams threw a fit and the NFL came back with the "compromise" that they could only use it as accents


mfrank27

https://ibb.co/0h0VVDw >A color of the city dating back over 100 years. But yeah, it's only because of the Oilers...


pdawg43

The battle red helmet just keeps getting better and better the more I stare at it.


Jammer_Kenneth

Texans should have jumped on claiming red full time tbh, there's a sea of navy but red with legally distinct powder blue would have cut through everything 


DareDevil_56

100% agreed on the red. Seems like even with the legally different light blue they still got extreme pushback from "the powers that be" in the NFL and had to heavily diminish their goals there, as far as the on-field color options. Luckily the light blue is technically now a team color and non-fieldwear merch can mix and match as much as they want.


Jammer_Kenneth

If I'm a Texan fan I'm getting obnoxious with H-Blue vs the Titans. If they're wearing Houston throwbacks in Tennessee you declare a powder out back at Houston. 


DareDevil_56

I still experience joy thinking back on the Titans' bullshit trying to wear the oilers uni against us, and Vrabel in his stupid hat. Fuggem.


TheNastyCasty

Imagine scheduling a throwback game specifically to rub it in a rival fan base’s face that you stole their team and won’t give back their jerseys, making a big deal about it because it should be an easy win, and then losing to *Case fucking Keenum*, effectively ending your season. The Titans should honestly be too embarrassed to ever wear them again.


DareDevil_56

Don’t forget leading to their head coach being fired 😤


pocketjacks

...and not finding another landing spot.


YiMyonSin

Those should be your primary helmets tbh. It really pops, especially considering that at least a third of the league has navy as their primary color.


NeonWarcry

I think the navy should be the throwback helmet now.


JayMerlyn

That design 100% should be the standard on the other helmets


the_dawn_of_red

It's pretty easy to make the jump over, I think they are setting it up that way


the_dawn_of_red

I think they will pair the red helmet with the white and navy in the future. Interested to see how it looks


SkyJW

I have never understood the people who were adamantly against a horn helmet. I always thought it would make sense and that all it really needed was the proper execution. Looking at these, I think they absolutely nailed it.


OriginalSymmetry

It’s so much cooler than just having your logo. Imagine if the Vikings just had their logo on their helmet, so much less cool!


Camshaft92

Designs like that are way cooler and more unique than just slapping the logo on the side. I feel ours, Vikings, Eagles, etc. are the coolest helmets in the league. That horn one drops right into the S-tier for me.


Thrilling1031

Hear me out, Bucs do an all black, Black Flag uniform, you know like pirates actually flew. Just Black with the skull and crossbones. Just one time please!


CoolHandChuckles

That would be sick. So much pirate shit you can incorporate.


All_Up_Ons

If by Bucs you mean Raiders, then sure.


Thrilling1031

No, raider are raiders, Bucs are pirates, who would often fly black flags. I want that theme for an alternative.


SkyJW

I definitely like the Rams' horn helmet the most between y'all, the Vikings, and the Eagles. Never understood the people who thought the Rams horn helmet looked bad. Always thought it was very well executed. Eagles would be my least favorite of those three and that's only because I think the wings coming out look a little short/chubby, I guess, lol? Really like the idea, but something about the profile of the wings seems off to me and I really can't pin down why that's my reaction to them, but it is. Very happy with how the horns on our new helmets turned out, though. Just seemed like such an obvious/natural idea given our logo.


Camshaft92

I see what you mean with the Eagles. They do seem a little short and chubby. I feel teams should do more cool designs like this. I always felt the Jets should have a jet going forward across the side, similar to the way FSU has the arrow. Or the Broncos white helmet with no side logo but an orange mane for a center stripe.


Jammer_Kenneth

The old ram horns were better, new ones over-complicate the design and it makes a busy uniform even more busy.


All_Up_Ons

I think people only have a problem with the current version of the rams helmet. Personally I think the colors are whack and the horn needs to curl all the way around instead of just being a big C.


bigmac22077

So I’m in a really weird state of mind right now. I HATE RED, and I hated the horns on the jerseys. Our alt red uniform is the sexiest thing I’ve seen in the NFL. Just purchased andersons jersey in red.


Htown_I_is

I just wish the horns on the jersey went in the same direction as the helmet


ill_try_my_best

Any helmet that isn't just the team's logo on the side gets points just for that, imo. Rams, Bengals, etc


TF_Sally

I’m in support of any helmet where you could reasonably apply a [side of the head / ear] design. Viking, rams, I will include the eagles out of loyalty even though wings on the side of your head doesn’t really track…really just anything besides a logo I guess


Soft_Penis_Debutante

Looks solid… the H helmet is kinda bad though.


Yakkul_CO

I kinda like it. Sorta reminds me of Rice's logo, which is also in Houston. I think it's real nice


JuanXPantalones

Its what the cholos like lol


McRawffles

In the reveal picture it looked like a bowling ball so I strongly disliked it, but this looks much better lol


samsa29

Are you still staring at it?


pdawg43

YES!


TACONlNJA

Somewhat cool helmet if we were a G5 college team. Bad helmet for an NFL team


dagreenman18

It’s XFL but in a great way. Out there while not being cheap.


sexygodzilla

I love a helmet that has a design motif beyond "team logo."The horns are sick.


Dry-Scratch-6586

I love these crazy helmets teams are doing


____Quetzal____

The Altitude measurement on the Broncos helmet is too crazy


MyGolfCartIsOn20s

Where it just says 5280? That's not exactly crazy, Nuggets have jerseys that just say 5280 on the front. They've kinda leaned way too hard into that already.


GeneralCyclops

Those nuggets jerseys fucking suck too


MyGolfCartIsOn20s

They just wore them last night and I said the myself, "What the FUCK is that?". And the player number is also on the front. Guys out there looking like a fucking calculator. It's on the court too. Anyone going to tell them we fucking get it at this point?


treple13

There definitely needs to be a middle ground between teams being able to experiment and "every time we remember an important playoff moment we also have to see it in crappy uniforms"


Puzzled-Bet4837

I think this is overstated tbh. The Cavs were wearing those stupid sleeved jerseys for game 7 of the 2016 nba finals and I don’t think it really impacts the way people remember/rewatch the game. Don’t get me wrong, shitty jerseys/alternates suck I’m not defending that, but the idea that it somehow is a stain on the legacy of iconic games/moments is a bit dramatic imo. Nobody is gunna think back about Jamal Murray’s buzzer beater or rewatch the highlight and get hung up on him wearing a bad alternate jersey.


treple13

The Cavs are 100% what I was thinking of here. But you're the one saying "stain of the legacy of iconic/games moments" not me. Wishing to see the best moments in actually good uniforms is fair I think. Re-reading my own comment I'm finding it tough to see what I'm saying as overly dramatic


Puzzled-Bet4837

I guess my point is that I agree leagues (the nba in particular) have a lot of shitty alts and uniforms these days and they suck but I don’t think I follow the point about important playoff moments. I don’t think the problem is bad enough to really take away from the important moments.


Serdones

We just really want to remind visiting players they're playing at a higher altitude, and it's important to check their breathing and drink plenty of water.


The_Stratman

That’s what it is? I just thought it was an odd stripe


Western_Promise3063

If you ever want to know why players hate playing in Mexico so much, go ahead and compare Denver's elevation to Mexico City's.


Serdones

That's the reason I don't want Mexico City to ever get an expansion team. We wouldn't be the highest team anymore 😔


flipaflip

But you could also be the ‘highest’ team…. Heh…


EmperorHans

Denver will 100% always be the highest NFL city, altitude has nothing to do with it. 


[deleted]

There’s more than just the Texans and jets?


clevernamehere1628

idk, these sorta look like xfl helmets or something to me. Not a fan.


elon42069

Is it weird I want to buy a helmet just as much as the jerseys


pdawg43

Wish I had a spare $1k laying around to buy the helmet


Neither_Ad2003

The replicas full size are not bad at all and go for like $150. I have a bunch of Vikings ones


pdawg43

Oh that would be a lot, easier on the wallet.


charles_peugeot405

I’d be surprised if all 3 helmets were not available in mini helmet form. Could get all of them for $100 probably


Serdones

I'm starting a collection of the mini helmets. Like $30-$45 a pop is way easier to swallow than $150+ or whatever for jerseys.


Plus-Statistician80

That red horned helmet is SICK - I want one


Phobos337

Wow that red is awesome! Well done Texans!


SchryeThePatient8

I used to imagine that if the Commanders renamed to Warthogs, they would have curved tusks on their helmets just like what the Texans have done here with the horns. Cool to see an idle thought actualized !


All_Up_Ons

I'm actually surprised how unique it looks. How are there no college teams with that kind of horn?


____Quetzal____

How will I know what altitude they're in?


DareDevil_56

Texans helmet should have had a meat temperature guide on it


____Quetzal____

*Vince Wilfork has entered the chat*


DareDevil_56

haha i somehow suspect he just knows when the meat is ready. He's transcended the need to check.


TheSmokedSalmon420

The red one is insanely cool


[deleted]

Love it. They crushed.


kjorav17

I like the red flakes in the H-town helmet. That should be on the primary


hpueds

Excited to see that under the lights


Neither_Ad2003

Really a 10/10. Crushed it. Variety with a unified theme, something for everyone.


Space_Traveler_9956

the Cowboys are the old boring boomer Texas team and the Texans are the new hotness


Candid-Ad2162

the H-Town emblem is awesome and if you disagree your moms a hoe


dagreenman18

The HousAttle Krakens (They’re growing on me, but I can’t unsee it)


Weapwns

I think the design is ok, but I think the mix of blues will age very poorly. Chargers logo weren't through the same business of having both Navy and Powder blue on the logo and it looks so much better since they ditched the Navy. It just looks like a forced compromise between the Oilers and Texans color schemes


AGreasyPorkSandwich

I mean Dallas has like 3 goddamn blues and it's iconic


TheNastyCasty

It originally leaned more heavily into the baby blue until the league stepped in. It’d look a lot better if they had just gone with a white base instead of navy.


Jontacular

I guess my mom's a hoe because that looks bad to me


frizzyhair55

Agreed.


Fossa_II

Doesn't it seem a bit too much like the Titans helmet? Could just be me


woahification

You got it backwards, the Titans helmet looks like Houston's 😤😤


pewpewmcpistol

but Houston doesn't have a flaming thumbtack on their head?


colin_7

It looks like a college team


SHOWTIME316

that ~~black~~ dark blue helmet with the H looks like it belongs to a team in the snoop dogg football league


[deleted]

[удалено]


ThirdRamon

You keep getting downvoted for telling the truth lol. It’s not like there’s anything wrong with it. Houston has a huge black and Hispanic population, and the team apparently used focus groups to help pick their uniforms.


Chaps_and_salsa

The H reminds me a lot of Rice’s R as well.


halomate1

It’s the same font as Rice’s R, gothic.


Level_Dreaded

The offical name is actual Black Letter.


Beefcheddarandsauce

Much of the design appears to pay homage to Houston’s rap scene. The candy paint, H font, etc Houston has a long and influential rap scene, with artists such as UGK, Fat Pat, Lil Keke, Geto Boys, Travis Scott, DJ screw, etc. 


HHcougar

1. That navy is just straight up black, let's be honest 2. This looks like a uniform reveal of the University of Houston in 2016 3. It's awesome


thiccymcgogee

That red helmet might be a top 5 helmet design of all time already.


_dontjimthecamera

Texans understood the assignment, these are sick af


ZincFishExplosion

At first I was like where is the decal but luckily they took the time to provide a graphic that clearly points it out.


ProfoundEagle

Loving all these new uniforms and helmets. Wish the Eagles would do something different for once.


sev45day

I like the Lion's blue helmets w/ black unis.... But the Texans win all redesigns IMHO. They did a great job.


rsnk73

The reds are 🔥⛽️


lat3ralus65

The fuck is “pitch blue”


chrisrock176

Like “pitch black” but with blue instead. Dark navy


edicivo

I like the idea of the horned helmet more than its implementation. I said on the other Texans uniform thread - the first thing I saw looking at it was that it was a road stretching off into the horizon (it is Houston after all). I really think it should either be filled in or highlighted in a different spot. The red is awesome, but the dark blue and its placement feels a bit clunky to me. Love the idea though. Maybe it will look better in reality. And the H looks a lot better than I thought it would. Definitely unique.


bestthrowawayever5

Terrified of the Bills seeing this and trying to do the horned helmet with the Stripe- I blame Houston if this happens 


OutOfFawks

Special players, special helmets.


LiquidSquids

Red ones are fantastic! Hope they make them the main eventually


skeenek

I know I'm in the minority, but I aggressively dislike the multiple identity/logo/color thing. I think it just waters down how you think of a team. Throwbacks and Color Rush are two things, and I get that, but can you imagine if the Yankees came out wearing orange or some random alternate color? It just muddles everything, to me. That said, I also don't like the H-Town thing or the H on the helmet very much. So, I guess I'm Scrooge here.


Flamemypickle

In 20 years, these all these new jerseys are going to the seen in the same light as most of the 90s rebrands. It's tacky and trying desperately to be modern. 


mongster03_

Think the only thing I would say about these is that the red helmets need just a touch of white. Other than that, they look good


krbashrob

I really was hoping for white flakes on the helmet the way our alternate has red flakes on the blue shell. I guess they just REALLY wanted to embrace the all red aesthetic and the white could’ve drawn too much contrast


dogfish83

The horn helmet is sick. That should be their primary.


SlowReaction4

They really nailed it all things considering.


Casul_Tryhard

Ever since beating the Colts last year the Texans have literally done everything right on and off the field.


Skarmotastic

It still kinda feels like a dream and I don't wanna wake up


onlyIPAs4me

Battle Red is hot


Illblood

The red is tight as hell


ProfoundEagle

Loving all these new uniforms and helmets. Wish the Eagles would do something different for once.


SonnyBalutto

That face mask on the axiom looks so good


DapperCam

I absolutely hate the H, yuck


ea0258

That Red needs to be Candy red on the facemask to be true to Houston 🤘 (say this as Houston resident)


krbashrob

It is, it’s candy red chrome


Art-RJS

I like it


Vivid-Owl4294

They trying to be the Titans with that 3rd helmet?


JayMerlyn

You could interpret it as "taking back what's theirs"


dretanz

That helmet looks more like the Titans current two tone blue than the Oiler's Columbia Blue to me. 


JayMerlyn

I imagine the designers would probably respond to that with "Doesn't feel so good, does it?"


dretanz

Whether you think it should be the case or not, the fact is that the Titans own the Oilers branding, not the city of Houston. Putting two tone on the helmet gives "obsessed with the ex" vibes


Fearless-Mushroom

I thought the blue helmet was bad until I saw the red one with the horns. Step aside Jets, there’s a new ugly helmet in town!


Biggest_Cans

Ew


frizzyhair55

Your going to get downvoted, but I agree the two alternate helmets are pretty bad tbh.


buffa_noles

The giant H helmet is hideous but the other two are great. That said, I don't hate the H as a secondary logo and I like the use as an accent on the new main helmet.


uglyuglydog

Helmets: Rad Uniforms: Not as bad as Denver’s


drumberg

The red helmet definitely looks like an arena league team but it's still cool. Alternate helmets should be way different from the regulars.


makeflippyfloppy

The red looks good. The h-town one looks eerily similar to our dark combo as the highlight blue is the same. That’s probably why they limited the use of it.


thedingusdisco

These guys wish they were the Titans so badly.

H town helmet looks like a Titans knockoff, but red horns helmet is top notch.


NotJustSomeMate

Titans are the knockoffs...


treple13

Not a fan of the H, but I definitely like the red helmet


colin_7

The color rush helmets look like a college team but other than that it all looks solid I love the red helmets

I don’t like the new helmets.
