    The red color is OK, it's just that I'm not a big fan of the pants being the same color as the jersey. I guess it makes me feel like I'm watching a live action version of Atari football

    I actually wish they would go with the all-blue or all-white as they did earlier in the season. I think they look better.

    Pants and jersey should never be the same color unless that "color" is white.
    I like the red jersey with white pants combo. I wish there were a choice for that in the poll.

    They look like the Coogs (with blue helmets).

    The red pants were a little much, love the red top w/ white pants though. I hope the Texans do something to spruce up their current unis though, the steel blue w/ white pants is too plain IMO.

    I was actually thinking about white helmets like the Chargers are wearing. I think white helmets w/ the Texans logo would look badass. Any photoshoppers have some spare time?

    I like:
    red/blue
    blue/white
    white/blue

    I'm okay with all red, all white, all blue, but they seem off to me. Last night we looked like bizzaro Falcons.

    you wouldn't need to photoshop. when the team came out, they used those helmets in their press release. or maybe i'm just delusional. does anyone remember?

    oh, and I liked the all red battle look

    The original version of the Texans helmet was white. I was at the "unveiling" at the mayor's office in Austin and the helmet was white and awesome-looking. I was pretty disappointed when they changed them to blue.

    I remember something like that but I can't find a pic. I really like the Chargers helmets and I think a white Texans helmet would look sweet.

    They looked like Texas Tech, and they played like Texas Tech. I say we keep it.

    I think the all one color look (other than all white) looks too much like a college team (eg. all red looks like the Fresno State Bulldogs). Why teams feel the need for every possible color permutation... stay with the blue/white!

    That's it! Looks freakin' awesome. On "Battle Red" days they could go with a red face-mask (and white pants, of course).

    (Also, technically, the Texans could wear white helmets as "throwback" since that was the original design. :D )

    Not to be picky but is that a mini-helmet? The logo on the helmet is considerably smaller than the current ones.

    But thanks for the find, I like it.

    I liked them. Kind of like the old pants better, but these stood out. Battle Red Day kicks ass.

    GO TEXANS!!!

    I liked them. My favorite combo is the blue pants/white jersey, but I think red/red planted itself firmly in second. Blue jerseys are the worst.
