Nike Pro Combat, Texans Uniforms

the owners not the players or fans have to approve the designs. under the old rules changes had to wait a year before they could be implemented. teams that have worn the same uni’s forever will probably not change from what has kept them successful.

the packers, niners, raiders, and bears are among the teams that would reject anything too outlandish. when it is all said i think the uniforms will be tighter and lighter than before with different stitching. you might also see some teams have traditional crew necks and v-necks. i really think this is a good topic to discuss because some fans love the new stuff and some love the old. its all about the money in the end.

Thank Durga.

I like the helmet for the first one and think that the strip on the jersey is something that may be cool to try for an alternate but overall I dont like it. The second one is a fucking abomination! No Houston team should ever… EVER! Wear anything that closely resembling the uniform of the shitbag Dallas Cowboys.

The last one would be by far my favorite one, partly because I think we should try that jersey/pants combo out regardless of what Nike wants to change… and partly because of the big 80 on the jersey.

I said the first mostly due to the white helmet….but after further review the ruling on the field is overturned. I like the last uni…..just wish there was some way to work in a white helmet with that.

The fuck do we look like? Dallass Chokeonballsboys?

no stars. fuck the stars. i will buy a jersey with the star on it just to video tape me burning it and putting it on you tube telling nike to never put stars on anything houston texans.

however, i do like the white helmets. i think so long as nike doesnt go overboard with the designs, they will look better than the current ones. but nike cant go overboard- this is the NFL not NCAA- colleges may like the flashy, but nike needs to find a way to be simple and elegant but still edgy. my suggestion to them? keep our current kits the same way, add a new white helmet in and get rid of the god aweful ketchup bottle unis- i can do with some new red ones.

I can’t imagine Bob McNair will sign his team up for a Pro Combat/alternative uniform. Besides, the red jersey/white pants and all white uniforms are some of the best in football. They look clean.

Still, 1 or 4 would be my choice…but there’s too much emphasis on the “Star” and that’s more a Dallas thing than a Texans thing.

Red jersey on blue pants doesn’t look bad….

I don’t like the stripe on the side of the jersey. It’s distracting and ugly. I understand the theme, but I hate the execution. The helmet is nice, though.

The second one looks like a Cowboys alternate. Pass.

The third one looks like the Cardinals. Again, pass.

The fourth one is the least awful of the bunch. I don’t think red-over-blue looks good at all; I much prefer white pants with a colored jersey. Aside from that, the Texas flag design on the sleeves is actually a really nice touch, so that one would get my vote.

One more thing: The Texans franchise is 10 years old. Do we even need/have a throwback option?

I really like the current uniforms.

for you guys imo

anyway I like the fourth one…. the second one was a dallas uni that got accidently placed with the texans I swear… First one not bad either but Fourth one is best.

just becuase anything in Battle Red looks awesome

to have each team play a “Pro Combat Rivalry,” where they wear an alternate uniform both home and away in a divisional series, with at least one such game being played every weekend. Ours, for example, would be with the Titans. We would wear a home-and-away pro combat in that series. You can’t tell me that, if executed properly, that wouldn’t be badass.

Well, not really, a couple look a little spiffy. What I hate is the idea of change at all.

Let CFB keep throwing away tradition in the name of extorting the money of their fans with constant changes. I for one prefer continuity. Continuity leads to tradition, which leads to brand recognition. It’s a long term investment, but I think the Steelers, Packers, and Cowboys of the world would agree it’s worth it.

For those of you who like these, however, sorry to be a debbie downer.

I also like the helmet in the first pic and the rest of the uniform in the third pic. Not interested in anything with a giant star that looks like cowboys material.

I’d like THIS helmet:

Used to it now, but a helmet with just a big-assed star on it? HELL no.

Nike came out and said these were fan made and not concepts from the company. Sorry I dont have proof, I just read that somewhere like ESPN or Yahoo. The unis won’t change unless the team wants them to, material and all. I heard someone say that different companies made the unis now, but just placed Reebok logos on them. Seems far fetched to me, but look how different the unis are from the Texans to the Giants to the Vikings. The materials are all drastically different.
