    Love the alternate bull logo you mentioned.

    Maybe in a few years that can be our primary logo

    Yeah even though it’s a small glimpse, a blue logo and red star I bet will look amazing when we see the whole thing.

    The star on the H is the same star as the bull logo.

    Cool little nod.

    Yea it just feels all over the place. The marketing guy was right by saying that their hopes is to have everyone like at least 1 or 2 of the uniforms

    Lots of uproar about an alternative helmet that will be used once a year for some kind of "H-Town" theme game.

    It’s more that the Houston Blue is going to be on a uniform no one likes the helmet of.

    I keep looking back at it and it's growing on me (the "H")

    Hope it's the same for you.

    A ton of merch is about to roll out.

    I wonder when HOU starts selling merch like crazy, if the NFL won't care so much on what Cal does with his brand (light blue inclusion and taking back our color)

    $$$ talks!!!

    Maybe could have been a different font, but i like them overall a decent amount for an alternate.
    color scheme seems dope

    Those cleats remind me of this:

    upload_2024-4-18_17-9-6.jpeg

    Not a bad thing btw.

    That saturated columbia blue, bright red, and black are a good color scheme IMO.

    It gives off Oiler vibes without looking like desperate clones of the Titans.

    We're farting out 4 totally different designs. That's not "pleasing everybody". It's hedging your bets.

    I think that was a marketing team decision, not so much designers.

    The actual "pleasing everybody" problem happens when you try to smash a whole bunch of disparate design themes/elements into one uniform.

    I don't mind them "pleasing everybody" by putting out several different uniforms and seeing which one floats to the top.

    As much as I'm not a fan of the H, I will say if you combine the more intricate details of the helmet, along with all black uniforms with that blue and red piping/detailing on the jerseys and striping down the pants, that could end up being a REALLY unique and solid aesthetic. I very much believe the devil will be in the details for this particular uniform.

    All black uniforms? This is the first I've heard of all black uniforms. Please stick with deep steel, dark navy, Bears blue......just no black unis.

    To your point,

    I picked up a couple of authentic Space City jerseys (Yordan & Altuve) on sale

    And those things are dope. All the details make the whole look.

    It's growing on me but I think the bull logos on the side and the H on the back may have been better. At the very least it would have been less polarizing. I got a feeling that bull logo is gonna look fabulous.

    Just mock-ups found on the SportsLogos board. NOT official. Calm down! :)
    Tuesday (or more leaks) can't come soon enough!

    I've been watching it like the zapruder film and while I do see it, I only see it on the crown of the helmet and only for a split second.

    It's not certain to be there, but it's an interesting twist.

    I don't think any team has ever done that other than the Jaguars.
