Houston Texans introduce new 'Battle Red' helmets on social media

The Houston Texans have added another element to their uniforms.

The team announced Tuesday that players will be wearing a new "Battle Red helmet with their Battle Red uniforms when they take on the Philadelphia Eagles on Thursday Night Football on Nov. 3 at NRG Stadium.

“We’re thrilled to debut our new Battle Red Helmet as we continue to evolve as an organization,” Texans president Greg Grissom said. “We’ve consistently shown we’re not afraid to try new things, so we jumped at the chance to design an alternate helmet that will complement our uniforms, especially the Battle Red jersey. The start of Training Camp is on the horizon and we’re excited that our fans will have the opportunity to get a sneak peek of the new helmet in person soon.”

The Texans have worn Deep Steel Blue helmets with all of their uniforms since the team’s inception. With the NFL providing for teams to wear a second helmet in 2022 as part of their updated uniform policy, the Texans were able to add the Battle Red helmets.

Texans fans will get to see how the Battle Red helmets look in person when the team hosts its Back Together Saturday training camp practice July 30. The helmets will also be available for purchase at the Houston Texans Team Shop later this fall and online at Fanatics.com, starting July 25.
