Houston Texans to debut 'battle red' uniforms on 'Sunday Night Football'

HOUSTON -- On Wednesday, the Houston Texansannounced that they'll debut their color rush look against the Detroit Lions on "Sunday Night Football."

The color rush threads include a bright red helmet, pants and jersey. The helmet resembles one the Texans wore occasionally in previous seasons, but with a slightly different logo.

The uniform is part of a collection of new jerseys that were unveiled during the offseason.

The jerseys are modern versions of the previous look they've worn since their 2002 inaugural season.

The Texans have four new uniforms -- home, away, alternate and color rush in 2024. The color rush threads are the last of the bunch to debut.

The organization took input from local fans, conducted 10,000 surveys and reached out to 30 focus groups to design uniforms that reflected the city's culture.

"Today, for the first time since 2000, we are so proud to reveal our new uniforms," Texans' owner Cal McNair said in April. "They are even more special because they are inspired by and for our fans. Our fans asked us to be more H-Town, and we delivered. They were with us every step of the way and there's truly something for everyone over the four uniforms."

The home and away jerseys are similar to Houston's previous threads, but the alternative and color rush jerseys are new looks for the franchise. The Texans call the alternative look "H-Town Blue." The uniform is predominantly black with red letters and red numbers outlined in powder blue. The helmet features a cursive letter H. To drive home the theme, "H-Town" is stitched above the jersey numbers.

Through nine games, Houston is 3-2 when wearing liberty white, 2-1 when wearing deep steel blue and 1-0 in their alternate uniforms this season.
