Texans Letterman Jackets

The texans are wearing letterman jackets this week on their trip to New England, as some may already know. The idea was created by linebacker Connor Barwin and DT Shaun Cody.

Anyways, what are y'alls thoughts on this? At first when I heard about it I thought it would be stupid. But I think I like it, I love how this team is so close and has a real TEAM feel to them.

The idea, according to Barwin, was to recall the high school days most every Texans player can fondly remember.
quote:
"We have a dress code," Barwin said. "Everybody's going to wear them on the plane, on the trip to New England, on the bus. [I'm] pushing for khaki pants, white shirt, blue tie, jacket, so it looks like we're about to get on a yellow bus with shoulder pads in our hands."
quote:
"We've got a great group of guys," Barwin said. "Anything that represents the camaraderie of this team, guys are excited about, and that's exactly what the jacket does."
quote:
Barwin said the jackets will soon have patches on the left arm to commemorate the Texans' 2011 AFC South title for players who were on the team last season. Captains also will get patches on the left sleeve.
The Texans will add more patches for any future division titles and conference and Super Bowl championships. The idea is to "kind of build a tradition the longer you're here, the more patches you get on your jacket," Barwin said.

Ties in with Texas's love for high school football. I like it personally.

Now every NFL team will have them give it time.

The positions on the sleeve look stupid otherwise pretty cool

That's exactly what I was thinking. It's only a matter of time before this catches fire and other teams pick it up.

brady will be wearing these to the game

I actually think its a great idea, nice nostalgia and something that identifies the team and unique appeal to Texas HS football. I'm 110% pulling for you guys to win it all.

I always thought letterman jackets were lame. I wouldn't be caught dead wearing one.

Thats why I thought the idea was stupid at first. But after reading the message behind them, I like them.

I'm just hoping Texans can get one ring eventually, hopefully this year, but just in my lifetime and I'll be happy.
Growing up an Oilers fan and always being so close but never getting over the hump has me always waiting for the let down.

You must have been in the key club or chess team

Love the lettermen jackets but agree they could do without the position on the sleeve.

Saw this the other day, they look pretty badass
Be nice to add a SB champion patch on them
