The Houston Texans wore their “Battle Red” alternate uniforms for – quite possibly – the only time this season when they beat the Buffalo Bills 23-19 at home on Thursday Night Football. It is the first time the Texans have ever won a game while wearing red uniforms.
The uniforms, which were introduced in 2024 alongside new navy blue home, white road and “H-Town Blue” Color Rush uniforms, feature a candy red helmet with blue horns on the sides and the Texans’ primary logo on the back.
The horns are also displayed on the sleeves of the red jerseys, which feature navy blue numbers outlined in white beneath a white “Texans” wordmark, as well as matching red pants with a truncated blue and white striping pattern and red socks.
The Texans debuted the uniforms in a 26-23 loss to the Detroit Lions last November. They also wore all-red uniforms – albeit with their previous helmet and uniform design – in a 24-21 loss the Jacksonville Jaguars in 2023 after adding a red shell to the rotation the season prior.
Houston wore its “H-Town Blue” Color Rush uniforms in a 26-15 win over the San Francisco 49ers on Oct. 26, leaving two additional opportunities to wear an alternate uniform this season. If their schedule announcement from May is any indication, though, they’ll only wear their primary home or road designs the rest of the year.
The Texans also painted the turf at NRG Stadium to match the uniforms for the game, with a two-color version of their primary logo at midfield and red end zones with blue “Houston” and “Texans” wordmarks flanked by the horns from the sleeves. The only difference between this and last year’s design is the colors of the primary logo, which was untouched for the loss to the Lions.
