Houston Texans chairman and CEO Cal McNair indicated in a Reddit AMA (ask me anything) Sept. 7 that fans may be able to do something with their old jerseys.
A user asked McNair if the club planned to do a jersey swap, and stated it would be a nice way to care for fans that have stuck with the Texans through the ups and downs that began in January 2021.
McNair wrote: “Yes, we will do this in October so stay tuned for details!”
While most fans may want to trade in their jerseys for the team’s quarterback who previously played 54 games for the franchise, there are other logical candidates. For instance, J.J. Watt’s No. 99 could be eligible if fans desperately want a Dameon Pierce No. 31 jersey, or perhaps anyone still holding onto a DeAndre Hopkins No. 10 may be able to get a Jalen Pitre No. 5 jersey.
A jersey swap would be another gesture from the organization to the fans that they acknowledge what hard times they have been through, and it is time to move forward.
