Houston Texans uniform change: Everything we know and how you can help

Houston Texans fans can have a say in updated the uniforms, which could roll out by the 2024 season. Here is how to help.

The Houston Texans are looking at updating their uniforms for the first time in club history.

According to the Texans’ official website, the team is putting together focus groups that include Texans Legends and the players on uniform designs. The club is taking input on color, jersey, and helmet design.

Texans chairman and CEO Cal McNair hinted in a Reddit AMA just ahead of Week 1’s kickoff against the Indianapolis Colts that the team was looking at new uniforms.

Since 2002, Houston’s colors have been Deep Steel Blue, Battle Red, and Liberty White. All uniform combinations have involved these three colors with hardly any variation from the fonts and serifs on the uniforms.

Houston added the Battle Red Helmet in 2022, which they debuted in Week 9 against the Philadelphia Eagles on Thursday Night Football.

Texans senior vice president of marketing and communications told Sports Radio 610 [KILT-AM] about the whole process, citing McNair’s leadership behind the scenes.

“The amazing reaction from the fanbase and the city to the Battle Red helmet is what sparked all this,” Vosik said. “It gave us the confidence to explore new grounds. We’re finally at the phase where we can get those opinions through surveys and focus groups.”

Fans interested in taking the survey and providing feedback can find the survey here.

Cal McNair hints Texans could offer fans a jersey swap

Houston Texans chairman and CEO Cal McNair says the team could offer fans a jersey swap if they wanted to trade in a particular jersey for another.

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.
