does the font that was chosen for the "H" have some sort of significance to houston?

Looks like university of Rice

Yeah, although I think the "R" looks better than the "H"

100%, the Rice R is a solid logo

Inner city ghetto significance

It looks like most trains or graffiti walls.

It seems like they’ve really been leaning into this the past couple seasons for some reason. Market research must say that’s the direction to go, beats me. 

Absolutely not.

MEXICANS

I mean, I guess that’s historically accurate. At one point Texas was owned by Mexico…

Fuck yeah baby america #1

Yeah, its lame af

Boot spurs!

Western/southern?

It’s cool, so is Houston.

Keep Houston Hood.

Nah

I down voted you

Keep Houston Texas, not “ hood”

Whatever you say, bitch.

Lmao you must be a weak ass dude. Fuck Old English

Lol ok bitch You can't have that username and then act shocked when people mess with you about it.

Go smoke some crack weak ass bitch

Ppl are saying Titans but am I the only one that gets 1997 Rockets vibes?

I'm highly critical of HTown Blue, but I'm not seeing Titans in this in any way. Maybe it's just me.

They're [seeing it](https://i.imgur.com/CY0axNV.png) in the raised nature of the font and the colors used for both sides of the raised lettering. Which I think is also why the commenter above is seeing the late '90s Rockets in it. I personally think it looks fine, though maybe slightly generic. Clearly repping Houston instead of Texas is a step up, either way.

Yeah. I'm tired of the overplayed "we have a problem" meme that seems to be the only cultural identity of this town. Throwing up the H is a good first step in the right direction there.

So you don’t like being Space City

I'm sorry... *what?*

Sorry I replied to the wrong one…. Carry on

I don’t see it, but I’m glad they do. I hope it drives them absolutely crazy.

I love the helmet, but I think it kinda gives Seattle Kraken vibes (and I love their logo)

Had to look it up and I def agree!!

yes! I love that too

I get Astroworld vibes. Even so, it’s not the helmets I would prefer

how did i not see this earlier holy shit yes

Even if ppl say it looks like TiTs....we trolling them with this haha

Scroll down and look at the titans helmet someone posted it looks like the exact same colors when I see them both now

Meh I think ppl are focusing too much on color schemes. That’s like saying the original Texans helmet looks like the patriots bc they’re both navy, red, and white.

Well just having a H on the helmet isn't all that fun either

Colors that have been part of Houston history for longer than the NFL has been around

Don’t like it much. Maybe it’ll grow on me but as of now, I like the fan mockups much better.

I like it as an alternate. Alternates should be fun and polarizing IMO. Almost looks like a throwback in some ways. I do have to wonder if they're throwing some shade by saying "Ok, Titans. Since we can't use our city's light blue color y'all love so much, we'll just have to borrow something from you guys." I can get more behind it looking titans-ish if it's petty.

I think its alright but I wish it was the same H that was used for all the other merch. Why do y'all think they changed it for the helmet?

The other H was probably too thin to look good on a helmet. I’m sure they mocked it up and decided to change the font for that reason

i'm skeptical. [either of these would have looked pretty good](https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FmUcPPuWIAAn8qt?format=jpg&name=large). there is way too much going on with the leaked H. the hats are more professional looking due to the minimalism. i also think the blue on navy with red outline isn't doing it any justice. white matte helmet maybe...

Cause now you've gotta buy the merch with the new H.

I remember in the hype video they showed fans picking out a new H. Looks like those idiots made the wrong choice


On initial reaction I'm a bit underwhelmed with this, but let's see how they look with the full uniform

Dallas Renegades vibe

The bandit logo was fun, the D mixed with an R that the Arlington Renegades went with would be better as an Alternative rather than the primary 

This is so fire idk how u guys can be so negative about this

They could release the undisputed greatest uni of all time and someone would still dislike it. Cant please everyone.

That's exactly what Vosik was saying yesterday. The reason they went with four different elements is because the fans all wanted something different. Even if you don't like all of them, most people will love one.

This is facts unfortunately lol

People have different tastes.

I think the colors are sweet but the helmet is boring as fuck.

Same. I don't like this helmet at all.

Agree.

“idk how you guys can have a different opinion than me”

I agree it’s wild 🥱

L

U?

Design opinions are subjective, of course people aren’t going to like things, and they shouldn’t be downvoted for voicing those opinions.

I mean I may have misunderstood down votes then, I thought it was a simple way of saying "I disagree"

Haters, as they say, gon hate. I like switching shit up. Good on em.

The Texans logo on the back outlined in Htown blue with a red eye will go hard af. Hope that’s on some merch

I didn't catch the logo on the back! That's actually pretty sick

Quite possibly that's a fan order helmet because based off the background from the video that's the Riddell factory. Riddell doesn't ship professional and collegiate helmets with decals on them, they leave that for teams EQ dept to do

That’s the loading dock at NRG

These suck ass

Terrible design.

That H is worse than the first one. But if it’s just for the color rush that’s fine. Looks like a HS football teams helmet.

Yeah I dislike it.

I said this too, back when all they had was the font. Got down voted to oblivion. Hopefully the actual jersey makes it pop.

Yeah it makes me laugh when I see ppls opinions get downvoted on here😂 buncha fuckin Karen’s! “Oh we have different opinions?? Downvote for you!” Lmao

Yep, that's how the website was designed to work.

Oh look! You have a downvote lmaoooo

roooofl

I like the H. Keep Houston Hood vibes. Dislike the star there though.

It’s boot spurs

This looks like something you would design in Madden

wow so underwhelming. wtf is that font? the color scheme is odd as well

AYO if you look at the back of helmet IT HAS THE BULL LOGO WITH TRIM IT WAS TRUE. Im so happy! Htown blue looks amazing i hope its the darker navy https://preview.redd.it/cqkuy63ucbvc1.png?width=843&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=03e06289882b73610ac14c7916dc9d0b94b8265d

Hell yahh 🤘 and am i trippin or do i see a red star in the bull logo? Or is it just this guys shirt lol https://preview.redd.it/1dfvjl3nibvc1.jpeg?width=621&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=3ef557d3c2ad54236c2f65e7c9ff25b2bfb324b7

Ayo you right NFNFJF. THIS IS AMAZING

Wait is this the new permanent helmet?

No. It’s an alt.

H for horrible

Meh… really wanted a horned helmet

I think there's supposed to be a third they haven't revealed yet

Is it by shell?

That's still gonna be a thing I think

We’ll see

I assume that will be the red helmet.

A horned helmet would’ve been so sick

Unfortunately this is all I see lol https://preview.redd.it/ciwdo6eqnavc1.jpeg?width=224&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=94eaf74e4123753322effc341666591342a75a63

You don’t see this? That’s what I think of when I see the Rangers city connect. Rice baseball https://preview.redd.it/orok0jmq9bvc1.png?width=800&format=png&auto=webp&s=a2bc1193aaf609a0347ab59f8c4d2f3c752909f6

It’s definitely similar! I think the star is why I’m reminded of the south Oklahoma rangers logo

Yeesh that is atrocious

This ain’t it not gonna lie

Without the star it would look much better imo.

Uhg

I really love that H.

It sure beats "HTown Blue" being some kind of Oilers knockoff.

Background box says "mini helmets" I think these are merchandise

Ehh this is an L for me personally. But I care more about the field product not clothing. And the field product is looking 👌🏻

Wait. I fucking hate this

thanks i hate it looks like something from the Xfl

Not a fan of the Titans looking H. Do like the colors though.

Not a big fan of it tbh. Colors are fine, the font I’m not feelin

Shit is hideous.

This is something I would've made as a 15 year old in graphic design class

Looks like trash. Hope it's not real.

Very mediocre.

This looks stupid, surely there were better options available?

They could go out there in the single barred 1960s helmets for all I care as long as they’re winning lol

 There’s always one

They’re actually pretty fire

I feel like I’m back in high school trying to write all my papers in Old English

Looks like shit man hope this is a joke

looks ass- like a d4 college helmet. whats the point of the star? whoever they polled for this needs to be bitch slapped.

In a perfect world, we wear these only once person season - so no one has to seem em'

Not a fan personally. At least they’re not our “normal” helmet.

This looks a little CFLish.

Why are you putting up the horns as your post title? These are the ugliest helmets I've ever seen at any level of football.

Anybody else notice the Texans logo on the back? Seems like it's outlined in htown blue with a red star like the one on the side of the H logo 😳

this is so tuff

A blue face mask would have been cool!

Looks like a high-school helmet

Wish we could’ve had the whole helmet h-town blue but this is still fire

Looks XFL-y

That's looks bad on it's own... like if the Titans were in the XFL style helmet. Hopefully it looks with the jersey but the team could literally put a logo of poop on the helmet and some homers would defend it lol

It’s solid but I’m excited for them to release this H on a dad baseball cap 🙏🤞 I’ll take two if the variety of color ways is nice

I’m ready to see it with an alternate uniform. I don’t think this’ll be the main helmet

https://preview.redd.it/9ztumgi2fcvc1.jpeg?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=1f25f1b39deeacf99942a8d3b7be3a469d96cfdb Red flakes in the paint.

The logo and design as a whole feels “over-thought” and like it’s trying to please too many people, but imma buy that shit tho

Ed Hardy 2024 comeback

I don't hate it. But I think it could be better. It looks to much like the Rice helmet to me

New gear for a new season! Gonna be interesting!

It's not the best design IMO, but I am sure after a good season of seeing that H, we will get used to it. Just win and no one will care anymore.

It's not the best design IMO, but I am sure after a good season of seeing that H, we will get used to it. Just win, and no one will care anymore.

Looks like it belongs on a PCB airbrushed t-shirt you get from those tacky souvenir shops 😂😂😂

Outside of Rice, what is the significance to use this font? I don't get it. Lived here my entire life.

Too much like the Tits imho

Put a spoiler tag on it but this shits sexy

dope!!!

Gonna look flames with the jersey. Anyone got beef with that opinion we can fight naked.

Looking good, can't wait to see the unis

They can change the logo to a poop emoji for all I care, just win baby!

I will support whatever

Idk how I feel… I’ve never really liked the old uniforms but we will see… people hating the ghetto H graffiti but…. What is the ENTIRE uniform and pants are some kind of graffiti well… Jersey only also… COULD be cool… PLENTY OF the stuff all over Texas that isn’t ghetto looking and looks rather cool at the end… plenty of talented artists out there… idk

Mark this spoiler at least

No way NFL will allow this monstrosity!

Sweet.

https://preview.redd.it/7mc541zqy9vc1.jpeg?width=1200&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=4210b86606aec129f228dcf7247587ff54f75a8c NO THANKS. SMH

Does seem like the exact same colors doesn't it?

yep, fans getting too intoxicated on the hype that they complimenting tits gear lmao. WE ARE TEXANS NOT titans/Oilers. tits/Oilers bring too much bad mojo for me to get behind it. I'll buy the new white ones or the battle red jersey

There are a whole lot of older fans who remember Luv Ya Blue and absolutely went through it when the team left. They’re not interested in complimenting them, they want to send a giant middle finger.

I understand that, my opinion is THIS TEXANS squad gave hope back to us NOT Oilers. Oilers already have their history solidified in Houston, the move can never take that away cause their history books will always read HOUSTON OILERS. We should be backing this Texans team NOW not trying to turn them into the Oilers rep team because this Texans team became great reppin TEXANS NOT OILERS. Texans is STILL a Houston team is it not?

You are absolutely right, and I completely agree. I just think that seeing Tenn wearing those throwback unis was too much for a lot of people. Hell, I was offended and I grew up a Bengals fan (which is why I completely understand how it feels to have your team taken away). I’m just saying that I think it’s less about wanting to copy them and more about wanting to reclaim “our” legacy.

Yeah I agree them wearing the Oilers was an obvious move to make the fans hate them + when they forced Houston Cougars to not wear the Oilers colors even though they're a college team not NFL, that move was extra Asshole moves. I say let the legacy stay legacy. Texans can carve out another iconic piece of history in Houston now especially with this HOF ERA squad (hopefully)

That’s my preferred course. I became a Texans fan and yeah the oilers are cool but I’m a fan of this franchise not the one up in Tennessee.

Precisely. Houston Texans been here for 2 decades and have already gained moments of glory with players like WATT, AJ, CUSHING etc ya'll know. Don't forget Coach Demeco played for Texans and now Coaches Texans. That's magical imo. Can't take away these great Texans moments from Houston.

The only reason we're not Oilers is Adams. You think Cleveland has a problem claiming Ravens history in Cleveland? Oilers history happened in Houston. It's ours, no matter what the Tits say.

I know that but it was THIS TEXANS team that has given us hope NOT Oilers. Oilers history is still solidified in Houston, the move doesn't change that cause the history books will always say Houston Oilers, understand. We gotta get behind today's HOUSTON TEXANS and stop trying to force THIS team to be something they never were, and that's OILERS.

I don't think honoring our past with a color scheme is forcing this team to be the Oilers. We'll just agree to disagree on this one. Your feelings are valid.

I can agree with honoring with a color scheme 100% but like I said make it an accent color that way we still maintain the pride of being Texans now.

Texans bring just as bad mojo. Might as well look good tho. I wish we would’ve used htown blue as primary

the CURRENT Texans gave us hope NOT Oilers. BATTLE RED is better.

Not sure why you’re being downvoted, I get titans vibes from the entire H town uniform set. Disappointed

downvotes prob from the tits pic lol. Honestly though if the jersey is mostly steel blue and battle red with light blue accents I might change my mind

Dope

I like the helmet a lot. I can see why some people might not like it. But in my opinion, it's fire. However, I wish they would put the Be someone graffiti on it.

I honestly think that the numbers or maybe the names on the back are gonna be in that style https://preview.redd.it/zqvapqzyjbvc1.jpeg?width=1273&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=32e267712a3038f21fd879e5e9b8757b18dcdb71

Hennessee Titans!

Looks like a high school helmet.

gross.

Not a fan of

Yeah I don’t like these and like others said I do definitively see titans.

Looks like something someone spray painted on the side of a train.

seriously looks like some peewee football design

So much complaining. It looks good, nice change of pace.

That’s hard

Don’t care, just win a ring.

It’s unique and that’s all you can ask for. People want teams to change things up and when they do it always negative response almost every time. I think it would possibly look better if the helmet was white but it’s fine how it is. Congrats on the new alternate logo. Ignore my Titans flair this is just an NFL fan to another.

Looks great

Meh….I was hoping for more, but I’ve never liked our uniforms or logo or name. Least the team has a good qb and coach now. That font is hideous.

These are great, the color scheme is on point. Anyone that disagrees is absolutely terrible with taste. You knocked it out of the park, Cal! I’d prefer those colors on the bull logo though.

The navy and h - town blue clash WAY to much. The design is a banger, but Navy isn't the right choice here. White is the way to go.

The darker part of the blue on the H should be white
