NFL uniform watch: Ranking of all 32 team’s uniforms
By Randy Gurzi
21. Houston Texans
No team in the NFL has less history behind them than the Houston Texans, the team that first became a franchise in 2002. They also have had the least amount of changes to their primary uniform, which would be none. The only real adaptation at all has been adding an alternate red jersey in 2003.
Since their second year, no changes have been made to their uniform, color scheme, etc. except to nickname the day they wear all red the “Battle Red Day.” The nickname does nothing to make the uniform easier on the eyes, as the all red is simply bad.
While the “Battle Red” is an eye-sore, the regular look, whether blue on white, or white on blue, etc. is not really good, not really bad. It’s actually pretty average and kind of boring. I guess the good thing is that it at least matches the product they put on the field.
The Texans may be less than 15-years old, but it is way past time for Houston to make a change to its look. The logo may not be touched, but the color scheme should be altered, in some way.
Just like the Titans, a return to the roots could be very welcome. The former Houston football team, the Houston Oilers, had a classic NFL look to them. Maybe the Texans could find some kind of inspiration from the look they used to feature.
Someone has already taken the liberty of showing just how much potential could be there, and the results are rather awesome.
