I actually edited my post, because it does look cool.... But not necessary.....

Anyway, I resemble that fuddy-duddy remark.

Nice pic, Tailgate, but that don't fly at Reliant. Some of our fans are just too cool to do something like that. It's just a marketing ploy!

Big difference, though. The t-shirts were only $2 or $3 if I remember correctly with proceeds going to the victims of 9/11.

To be honest, if the plan is to wear white and very few participate... it kind of comes off a bit pathetic as a whole IMO. Again, you are no less of a fan... but just against the grain if you will. I do understand certain situations as have been stated in here.... so not all apply.

Its not like this is anything new in the sports world:




Anyway, the bottom line: LETS BE LOUD!!!!!!!

And really, we've only known this has been coming for one year! How could we have found a nice white Texans shirt in only one year?

It has nothing to do with "being cool". But in your mind, you're right.

I don't think anyone is less of a fan for what they wear, but I'm not judgemental that way.

We just have to agree to disagree and all that jazz.

Go Texans.

I would venture to say that my wife won't wear white this weekend because it's "after labor day". BLAH!

LOL - someone needs to remind the Texans front office to read their Emily Post!!! I always thought that particular rule was not made for Houston.

It is people like you that seem to believe that the way you identify as a fan is to wear the color that the organization tells you to wear. It is people like you that claimed I was not a "real Texans fan" because I wanted to wear my Texans jersey instead of some other color.

Back in 2004 I attended a Texans game and I believe it was "Blue Day". I proudly wore my white 02 Texans jersey and red Texans hat to the game. I wore it because it was(and is) the only Texans jersey I have and I wanted to show support for my favorite team. There were several asshats at the stadium that loudly called my support for the team into question because i was not following the trend and wearing blue. They said "how cool and united we would look if we all wore blue" and that i was "ruining" their experience by choosing to wear a White Texans jersey and red Texans cap instead of some generic blue shirt.

I do not live in Houston (or Texas for that matter) and do not have the luxury of choosing which games(if any) I get to go to. Typically i have a choice of one game(and sometimes a choice of none). If I am going to a Texans game, I will be wearing my Texans jersey. I do not care if you do not like it. What right do YOU have in deciding what I will wear? Who made YOU the fashion police?

Every year i have to hear and deal with these comments from people like you and I am sick and tired of it. What makes yall think you are better fans than me? It is people like you that give Texans fans a bad name and you should be ashamed of your comments.

WOW is all I can say. Yes the idea is to wear white but if you do not have that color jersey and want to wear a jersey; you are going to try and be little someone and talk down to them for wearing a jersey a different color?

I would love for someone to get in my face about my blue jersey because it is the only one I own. Because I would tell you where to take that attitude and where to firmly place it. Calling out someone who is supporting the team is disgusting. Make sure you go on every single Chiefs board and talk to them like this about them wear there white shirts and jerseys because if you do not talk to a rival like this why in the hell would you talk to a fan like this?

Sounds like someone has their nose in the air and a stick up there butt.

[Texan_Bill]

Ironically, my jersey is white, so I am golden this weekend. Its the other 9 home games that I wont be a real fan....

[TxDavid]

awtysst - I'm sorry those asshats acted the way they did. Unfortunately every team has them.

The fact that you attend the game alone is support for the team. I'd much rather you sport Texans gear then nothing at all - or worse Saints gear like caller on 610 this morning. But I'm getting off topic.

I guess all I'll say is support the team - I don't really care how. If you don't want to wear white - so be it. Scream your tail off (when we're on D please) and do your thing. As long as you're supporting the Texans, I see no reason anyone should be calling you a lesser fan.

Just don't wear PINK!!!! That's Yankee's color!

That's really, really sad.

I understand BOTH sides of this one...my only "suggestion" would be to NOT wear a RED shirt to this game...lest you be mistaken for a Chiefs fan.

Hey, my nicest & most-customized jersey is my red Mario one, but it stays home this weekend.

SWT - If you'd really like a Texans white tshirt, size XL, let me know...I have several that won't fit my *ahem* larger diameter (2XL) torso anymore. Sorry, no "spare" white jerseys though, I've only got one.

Do you remember back in 2003, when the Texans handed out Battle Red towels to the fans...prior to the Chiefs game?

What a disaster.

[Revolution]

I'm a sucker and I am going to ante up for a Liberty White Jersey! I just think it looks cool when everyone wears the same color tops. It doesn't hurt that I am jacked about getting my season tickets back this year...

Plus, it seems to give the crowd just a little more edge. If any of you are on the fence, please wear white on Sunday!

Just a friendly plea from a Texan fan.

[Speedy]

In year 1, the only jersey I had was the blue '02 jersey. I never bought a players jersey because players come and go. I buy a player's jersey and he gets traded or cut or whatever, and I now have an out of date jersey. If I was going to buy a jersey, it was going to be personalized.

I wore that blue '02 jersey to every game but the last one that first year. Of course we didn't have Battle Red day or Liberty White or any of that.

That last game of year one is when my personalized white and blue jerseys came in. Christmas presents from me to me. They were buy one get one half price, so I went for it since I was going to get 2 eventually anyway.

I decided then that I would wear the white one for division games and nationally televised games, and the blue one for all other games. That just seemed an easy way to determine what color jersey I'd wear on Sundays.

Then of course, in year 2, they break out the battle reds. I didn't have a red jersey so I wore whatever jersey I was supposed to wear with my little system. So I wore blue for Battle Red Day '03, and white for Battle red day '04 and '05.

It wasn't until last year that I ordered my personalized battle red jersey that I wore for the first time last year.

My little system is a little different now. If I kept it like it was, I'd be wearing the blue a whole lot more than the others. And as it is, I'm wearing the red just once a year. I'm always in blue for pre-season, unless it's a national TV game. Now that they have Liberty White Kickoff, and my old way could potentially have me in blue for the 1st 4 or 5 games, I like that I can break out the whites on opening day. So now I'll wear the white jersey on Kickoff Sunday. I'll still be in white for division games or national tv games, with the only exception being if it's battle red day. This means I'll be wearing white for the Deep Steel Sunday game against the Colts and red for the Denver game. Since red sees the light of day just once a year, I won't break it out again unless we're in the playoffs, at home. And then blue for all other games.

So here's my schedule:
Chi - blue
Dal - blue
KC - white
Ind - white
Mia - blue
Ten - white
NO - blue
TB - blue
Den - red
Jac- white
playoff game - red

If that's not dorky enough for you, I also have a blue grill and a red grill.

Is this my cry for help???

And Texans home games are the ONLY times I wear those jerseys.

Elle is right SA and Austin suck for any gear related to the Texans. you can find hats for the most part (not decent hats either) and a shirt every now and then but only if you drive to every store that says they sell appearrell.
