In their place are looks, plural, with the goal of covering every base: tradition, innovation and making a bold statement. Houston unveiled four uniforms Tuesday, including an updated home kit, a new road set featuring fresh shoulder and helmet elements, and a radical alternate uniform focused on highlighting the expression of the city the Texans call home.

Now, for the leap of faith: Houston rolled out an all-new alternate Color Rush look that will remind some of city-inspired sets that have appeared in MLB and the NBA in recent years. H-Town Blue appears on a radical fourth kit, which swaps out the bull logo on the helmet for an all-new H mark focused on highlighting the city of Houston. The Texans will wear this logo on the side of their helmets (and in smaller applications elsewhere in the other uniforms), while taking the rest of their new home uniform and dousing it in Battle Red (numbers, socks, wide pants striping) and H-Town Blue (number trim, cleats, gloves). The bull logo still appears on the uniform's sleeve caps, but instead of being trimmed in Liberty White, it's decorated in H-Town Blue, with the logo's lone star eye appearing in Battle Red.

Russell Wilson or Justin Fields? Steelers coach Mike Tomlin knows his starting quarterback for Sunday night's matchup against the Jets but isn't letting the cat out of the bag quite yet.

Thursday night was supposed to be a celebration in New Orleans but quickly devolved into a frustrating night for Saints fans in a 33-10 loss to Denver.

Cleveland Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski said Friday that he expects RB Nick Chubb (knee) to return in Sunday's home matchup against the Cincinnati Bengals.Â

The updated home uniform carries the most similarity to the Texans' previous uniforms, which they wore from 2002-2023. Gone are the red stripes from the shoulders of the Deep Steel Blue tops, and in their place are the team's traditional bull logo at the end of each sleeve cap. Houston has swapped out white player names for red, pairing them with an updated custom number typefont that appears across all four uniforms. On the home jersey, it is white and trimmed in red, while "Texans" appears in small, red typefont across the chest. Houston updated their white pants with a new two-stripe pattern featuring a wide navy stripe and one thin red accentuating stripe, and painted their Deep Steel Blue helmet in a metallic flake finish.

Though the Texans lack some elemental continuity throughout the entire new system of uniforms, their approach is clearly an attempt to update their appearance while retaining the most beloved elements of the uniforms they've worn since they first took an NFL field in 2002. It's ambitious and, in some places, aggressive, but fitting for a team that spent too many years in the cellar before enjoying an incredible turnaround in 2023, which included a playoff victory.

The coming of the Taliban to power has given rise to an unprecedented humanitarian crisis in Afghanistan, with UN agencies estimating that more than 50 per cent of the country's population is in need of urgent humanitarian assistance.

The Texans responded by creating their own look that includes the colors in a new form, which will undoubtedly pop when set against their Deep Steel Blue base color, and especially under the lights of a primetime affair.

Houston dialed up the adventurism with their Battle Red alternates, carrying over the candy Battle Red finish from their previous alternate helmet, but replacing it with the new bullhorn logo, which appears as Deep Steel Blue on both sides of the helmet. These shells pair with a matching Battle Red jersey, including the new bullhorns on the sleeve caps. After more than a decade of wearing Battle Red jerseys with white numbers trimmed in blue, Houston has flipped the colors, filling the numbers in Deep Steel Blue and trimming them in Liberty White. Matching red pants can be worn with these new tops, with a wide Deep Steel Blue stripe and a thin Liberty White stripe.

Of course, there are always some versions with a gold or bronze emblem, this problem dates far back to the Transitional Administration era where some would choose silver or golden colored emblems, example here. BlinxCat, 3 January 2022

2:3; image by Juan Manuel Villascan Flag adopted 4 January 2004. Date on flag: 1298 = 1919 C.E. While the Taliban did indeed use their flag as the national flag and introduced variants to be used, it did not stop others from using the former national flag and tricolors derived from it. The flag above, a tricolor of black-red-green with the classic national emblem in the center band, overlapping onto the black and green, of the (former) Islamic State of Afghanistan is still widely used by most civilians in opposition to the Taliban government. It does not appear to be fully outlawed although its use alone can result in some retribution from Taliban-aligned troops.BlinxCat 3 January 2022 Reported variations in the appearance of the flag image by BlinxCat, 24 November 2021 Because of the ongoing political conflict, flags are affected and many are incorrectly made - a form of "unstable vexillology."

The new numbers appear in Deep Steel Blue and Battle Red trim on the road tops, while the same striping pattern appears on the Deep Steel Blue pants, featuring a wide Battle Red stripe and thin Liberty White stripe.

Another variation shows the Islamic "shahada" slogan is about double the size of the national "coat of arms".

DeAndre Hopkins is playing out the final year of his contract on a 1-4 team, making him a logical trade candidate. The Titans' receiver, however, isn't thinking about moving.Â

These Texans won't be satisfied sitting in the bullpen anymore. With these new uniforms, Houston is sending a strong message: We're ready to be unleashed on the rest of the football world.

The rematch between Super Bowl foes means a lot to the 49ers, but for left tackle Trent Williams, getting revenge for a February loss to the Chiefs isn't high on the list.

"Today, for the first time since 2000, we are so proud to reveal our new uniforms. They are even more special because they are inspired by and for our fans," Texans chair and CEO Cal McNair said in a statement. "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."

Things get ambitious when the Texans hit the road, where they'll wear their Deep Steel Blue helmet with new Liberty White tops, featuring an all-new bullhorn mark that begins at the back of the shoulder cap and wraps around upward toward the front, evoking the horns in the team's primary logo. On the white tops, the horns appear in Deep Steel Blue, with an inner Battle red accent line, giving Houston refreshed ornamentation to their shoulders to go along with "Houston" written across the chest in Battle Red.

This uniform is bold in both appearance and statement. After losing the Oilers to Tennessee in the mid-1990s, Houston fans have long clamored for the Texans to wear the Oilers' old colors in the city they called home. Instead, the Titans -- who own the franchise history and thus, the right to wear the throwbacks -- have donned Oilers uniforms on occasion over the last 15 years, including in 2023.
