In 2017, the Texans unveiled a <a href="/wiki/NFL_Color_Rush" title="NFL Color Rush">Color Rush</a> uniform, using an all-blue uniform but with minimal white elements. In 2021, the Texans began sporting all-white socks on select home and road games. In 2022, the Texans began using a red alternate helmet with the red uniform. In 2023, the red alternate helmet was worn with the Color Rush uniform in a 21–16 victory against the <a href="/wiki/Arizona_Cardinals" title="Arizona Cardinals">Arizona Cardinals</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-c330_99-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-c330-99"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>99<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>In 2002, the team wore a patch commemorating their inaugural season. Also, they celebrated 10 years as a franchise by wearing an anniversary patch throughout 2012. From 2018 to 2019, the Texans wore a memorial patch to honor Bob McNair after his death.<sup id="cite_ref-q120_100-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-q120-100"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>100<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:NFL-Uniforms-Texans-2023.png" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/9/9d/NFL-Uniforms-Texans-2023.png/220px-NFL-Uniforms-Texans-2023.png" decoding="async" width="220" height="155" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/9/9d/NFL-Uniforms-Texans-2023.png/330px-NFL-Uniforms-Texans-2023.png 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/9/9d/NFL-Uniforms-Texans-2023.png/440px-NFL-Uniforms-Texans-2023.png 2x" data-file-width="1172" data-file-height="825" /></a><figcaption>The Texans' uniform set from 2002 to 2023.

The primary dark blue helmets remained, but the home blue uniforms were updated to include the Texans primary crest on the sleeve and new collar stripes, while the road white uniform featured blue and red horn stripes on the sleeves, along with blue numbers with red trim. The white uniform's design also served as the basis for the red alternate uniform, which is paired with a red helmet containing the blue horn stripes. A second alternate uniform is a navy blue base with "H-Town blue" accents; numbers are red with "H-Town blue" trim. This set is paired with a navy blue alternate helmet containing the "H-Star" decal in "H-Town blue" with red trim. The inclusion of a second alternate helmet is due to the NFL allowing teams with new uniforms to unveil these helmets in advance this season.<sup id="cite_ref-101" class="reference"><a
