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.

The idea, according to Barwin, was to recall the high school days most every Texans player can fondly remember.

"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."

"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."

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.

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.
