I sort of liked the football logo, but these look good, except the all black. Can't wait for that trend to end.

Yeah the all black looks like shit....

I'm not a fan of the huge pant stripe but it's not bad.

is it still a trend if it's been going on for 30 years?

Alleged leak for Houston's new alternate helmet. Looks like something a 5A high school would wear.

so a center white stripe on the helmet?

The numbers are now white and blocked. The shoulder stripes are different and don't have the letters. It's closer to the Barry Sanders era now.

Font quality looks very familiar.

Starting to warm up to these, didn’t like the helmet when I first saw it but when Cal dropped a picture with a regular hat with the H logo on it looked a ton better.

NFL seems to be going going for more simplicity outside of some random third-jersey one-offs, which is nice.

Those black and blue pants could use stripes, though.

As soon as they said it was going to be "the most inclusive uniform design process ever" you knew it was going to be an overdesigned, use every idea all at once kind of outcome.

...they basically did. That's almost the exact same jersey. 

Broncos new unis dropped. Thought they’d be going back to their classic look from the 80s. A lot of small triangles everywhere

So classic and awesome we will only give it to you once a year. Fuckers.

Use. That. One. All. The. Time.

I'm tempted to contrast that reaction to this site's feelings towards the Titan's throwback Oilers unis, which are the best unis in the history of, well, unis, but I don't want to get negged into oblivion.  Carry on.

Those uniforms are perfection and it's also stolen valor bullshit that the fucking Titans wear them.

Seriously, the Broncos have looked terrible since they changed, it’s like a remnant of the late 90s fad of way too complicated and dumb looking designs and dark color shades.

Throwbacks are by far their best look. It's not even close.

Generally an upgrade across the board (make the red horned helmet the primary, it's awesome), but the H-Town special uniform jersey/helmet is an overdesigned hodgepodge

 

The two on the bottom left look the same and are fine. The rest are hideous. That red horn helmet in particular, and the random new H, just dumb. They need a new logo in general, imo.

This screams mid-tier CFB team.

Things like the 5280 on the helmet was new hotness a decade ago.  just awful

Like what the Texans did, slight improvement over our previous super-corporates but we're not going to wow anyone. 
 

Detroits blue helmet is the best new uni piece I've seen.

Broncos I like as well, but agree they should just go throwback.

I’ve never liked the Texans name, branding, unis, etc but I actually kind of like the red horns helmet. 
 

The number font is a weird choice. 

How could you possibly fuck up as much as the broncos?  Just use the throwbacks and be done with it.  Only using them once per year is more confounded, idiotic thinking, "yeah, we know you like the throwback ones, but you're gonna love these new-new ones!"

Let's Ride! 

The curving freeway on the red helmet is a perfect representation of Houston. Well done.

The obtuseness of sports marketing folks blows me away sometimes.

With the white helmets, looks like UTSA.

I actually thought this was Cougar High aka UH upon first view. I don't have a dog in the fight and don't really care, but that's my first impression.

Agree with others that the Broncos throwbacks are great.

It's like their entire marketing department embraces the legality of weed in CO (nttawt).   I'm honestly surprised some team hasn't decided to use windings font on the jerseys.

Worse organizational decision than trading for R Wilson.  These are so bad.

I'll add to this that not drafting VY sealed the deal with me never being a fan despite being a native Houstonian (and actually working there a couple of seasons as a bartender.) 

Also, agreed that the red helmet does look better than the other.

Do people around here really think VY would have had some sort of Tom Brady esque NFL career had the Texans drafted him?

I doubt anyone thinks that, though I do think he would have had a chance to do well in the Kubiak/Shanahan offense. The bigger problem was that the franchise had the chance to bring a jolt of energy and interest to what had been a terribly boring operation, and instead they chose…a DE from NC State.  

Exactly. HTown kid coming off of winning at the highest level previously. The Texans needed something to get people excited, but chose Mario fucking Williams instead. 

I know he wasn't going to have some Tom Brady esque career playing under Jeff fucking Fisher. 

These are all ass.

Let it go, Indiana. It’s been 18 years. The Texans get no credit for rejecting 100% of pundits and talking heads by not taking Reggie Bush. They said exactly what they were thinking: they’d be in a division with Peyton Manning for several more years, and saw Mario Williams as a possible Bruce Smith type DE to cause Indy trouble. 
I love VY and wish they’d picked him. It’s possible things may have turned out better for him, but there’s no way to know that. You can’t put his NFL shortcomings, poor work ethic, bungling of jobs at UT, drinking and more recent issues, etc. all on the Texans.

Just admit you wanted to keep cheering for the Cowboys. It's ok, no one else cares.
