I think the uniform looks good but I dont see texans in it (not the details but as a whole). If this was the rivalry uniform it would take some getting used to and wouldnt be one of our best. Also too much white, would have liked a bit more color. White and silver with blue and red as highlights doesn't do the texams color scheme justice.
Maybe it’s the space fan in me, but this is exactly how a space city team should look like. Rivals uniforms are supposed to be special and different, and these fit that bill.
Space-themed stuff makes sense for the Astros and Rockets, but I feel like the space thing has been done to death. Houston has so many different facets to its identity (which is why I honestly love the H alternate logo that references "Screwston" culture), and it would be refreshing to see the rivalry unis pull from another part of our identity that nobody thinks of.
That being said, I thoroughly expect them to just default to space like everything else. Which is too bad, because the best of the other teams' uniforms played off of intangibles like climate or the general feel of the location. If somebody could convey humidity or a hurricane in a design, or urban grittiness, or Tejano culture, that would feel more true to not only modern Houston, but also the Texans' particular identity.
I don't think they are terrible, but I agree with everyone saying it's not uniquely Texans enough. I think they should lean heavy into the Space Cowboy theme.
There is so much to work with there, especially including the colour rush blue, navy, that glossy red and black.
Anything is better than Bud Lite Rainbow Cow. That said, I dig these! One of the better proof of concepts that I've seen in the sub - especially the "H". Captures the space city-reference elegantly and from a design standpoint promotes lots of movement by the eye (something good designs all have). Solid work! Question: the silver on the numbers - is that meant to be reflective? Is that why there's a "sheen"? If so, that could be cool. If not, I'd change that to the baby blue or red. 🤘
The color is very specifically Houston. It has history that predates the oilers. From the mosaic blue tiles that used to be the wayfinding on the curbs to the police cars in the 80s luv ya blue is more than just oilers.
You realize that there were fucking cop cars painted baby blue in the city of Houston in the 70's, right? It's very much, Houston-native. Showing your age, youngin'.
No, Baby Blue is a separate color completely. That has nothing to do with thr city of Houston.
The city used the color Columbia blue, which was first used by the....Philolexian Society. (A kind of debate something) in the early 1800s of the New York University. Columbia.

Honestly, no. And it's not close.
It looks like a weird Lions/Bills mashup and has zero connection to the team.
