In an unexpected turn, the Houston Texans provided fans with a glimpse of their upcoming on-field attire, opting for spoilers over predictions, as veteran wrestling promoter Paul Heyman famously stated, “It’s not a prediction. That’s a spoiler.”
The revelation began with the emergence of a leaked video posted on social media platform X by user @fredoRdz_. The footage, shared at 11:25 a.m., showcased a dark blue helmet against a backdrop of “Riddell” branded boxes, hinting at the team’s impending uniform makeover.
While the Texans initially refrained from acknowledging the leak directly, they subtly responded with a cryptic GIF of a dripping faucet at 1:01 p.m., suggesting their awareness of the unauthorized video.
Hours later, the team broke their silence with a revealing image featuring chairman/CEO Cal McNair donning a ballcap adorned with the iconic “H” emblem seen in the leaked video. Accompanying McNair was a black labrador sporting an iced-out chain with a similarly embellished “H,” adding a touch of flair to the announcement.
This revelation comes after the Texans had previously unveiled their new road white uniforms, offering fans a glimpse of what’s to come with wide receiver duo Tank Dell and Nico Collins showcasing the fresh look adorned with horizontally sweeping horns.
