    Pretty sure we'd all like to forget about the letterman jackets.

    Well something is coming, whether it’s better is the only question.

    I don’t want our uniforms to look like the Texas flag. That’s boring af We’ve already cornered the market on looking like we belong in Arlington. Let’s not double down on it. Let’s look like we represent Houston.

    I was just about to suggest The Alamo in front of a Texas flag for our new logo.

    Somebody smarter than me will figure that out. I know what it doesn’t look like though :)

    Lol right? My snores are snoring. I’m great with the new H logo and mixing in the light blue. I’m great with going all in on red. But damn man regurgitating the state flag would be really disappointing to me while simultaneously be fitting for a North Texas suburb

    On my list of things I don’t want, the old English lettering is pretty far down below jerseys that look exactly like a state flag :)

    I'm not a fan of the bull either, but I have to admit, it's in the upper half of NFL logos (ignore the "rankings").

    Most NFL logos are unbalanced, too busy, asymmetrical, etc. The bull is actually on the simpler/less noisy side of the spectrum.

    The #1 thing I hate the most about our aesthetic are those ****ing shoulder flares. They're supposed to replicate "bull horns" but to me they just look dumb and incongruent. They also make the fit/styling on the streetwear jerseys absolutely terrible.

    I'm a sucker for the minimalist/classic look. Colts, Packers, Cowboys, Niners, Steelers, Bills, etc. But I don't think we can pull that off.... but the concepts are fun.

    I get what you're saying about the shoulder "horns" but the logo kind of forces you to use sharp/pointed lines. It's basically that off center parting flare through the logo itself dividing the blue and red. Our pants with a traditional stripe clash as your concepts you posted with straight lines clash with the logo. To combat all the clash and not wanting the flare style, you can go absolute minimalist with just jersey sleeve and neck stripes and a single thin stripe on the pants.
    I do love that red primary idea with a white helmet. Too much navy blue/"steel blue" looks bland like the Atlanta Hawks of the mid 2ks. I'm also good with the battle red helmet and simple blue and white jerseys with just a touch of red accent only.

    The Alamo was a defeat for the Texians. Far better to go with the San Jacinto monument, perhaps right on the stomach area of the uniform. Can anyone mock this up?

    Little lower than traditional logos or numbers, and I think you got a wie... Winner.

    They've made no promise of any changes.

    They're just doing some proactive research.

    My guess is they will do some tweaking around the edges and hype it up as some major thing only for it to debut as a wet fart.

    Kind of like the "fat collar" from years back. Whoop-tee-doo.
