The Houston Texans, an NFL team based in Texas, have unveiled their new uniforms for the upcoming season. This marks the first major redesign since the franchise's inception in 2000. The Texans introduced four new looks: a home uniform called 'Deep Steel Blue,' which features blue-on-blue metallic flake paint on the helmet and a new H secondary logo; an alternate uniform with red jerseys, candy paint red flakes, and a bullhorn-inspired logo on the helmets; Color Rush uniforms in H-Town Blue; and a two-logo system across all helmets. The Texans became the first NFL team to introduce a new logo on an alternate helmet.
The Texans' roster includes promising quarterback C.J. Stroud, as well as recent additions Stefon Diggs, Danielle Hunter, and Joe Mixon.
In addition to the uniform reveal, a large blue Texans jersey was placed on the Sam Houston Statue in Huntsville, Texas. The statue is a significant landmark located along Interstate 45 and honors General Sam Houston, a key figure in the Texas Revolution.
The Texans' new uniforms have been met with excitement from fans and media alike. However, it is important to note that the team has faced criticism for their handling of previous uniform designs and logo usage. Some fans have expressed disappointment over the loss of throwback rights to the Houston Oilers' blue jerseys, which are currently owned by the Tennessee Titans.
Houston Texans introduced new uniforms with three different helmets, adding a color and alternate uniform to their palette.

The author uses inflammatory rhetoric by stating 'These Texans won’t be satisfied sitting in the bullpen anymore. With these new uniforms, Houston is sending a strong message: We’re ready to be unleashed on the rest of the football world.' This is an appeal to emotion and creates a false dichotomy as it implies that wearing old uniforms equates to being in a 'bullpen' and not being competitive. The author also uses an informal fallacy by stating 'Instead, the Titans -- who own the franchise history and thus, the right to wear the throwbacks -- have donned Oilers uniforms on occasion over the last 15 years, including in 2023.' This statement is misleading as it implies that only one team has worn Oilers uniforms when in fact both teams have done so.

The author makes emotional appeals to Houston fans by referencing their love for the Houston Oilers uniforms and their desire to 'rep the H' in Texans gear. This is an attempt to manipulate emotions and create a sense of false unity among fans. The author also selectively reports information, as they only mention fan reactions that support the idea of adding an 'H' logo to Texans gear, while ignoring any potential opposition or alternative suggestions.
And we took that challenge very seriously when the fans told us that.
Fans challenged us back a little bit and they said, ‘When I wear Texans gear, I’m reppin’ my city. We love reppin’ the H when it comes to Texans gear.',
What Houston fans would really love is for the Oilers throwbacks to belong to Houston, not Tennessee.
