Houston Texans

On game days bars and restaurants on Houston’s southwest side start filling up with fans in Houston Texans apparel hoping to grab a drink before bundling up in Houston Texans jackets and heading over to Reliant Stadium to watch Duane Brown and Andre Johnson lead the Texans to victory.

Houston fans are head over heels, off the deep end crazy supportive. A fact that they prove by their voracious consumption of almost any Houston Texans merchandise.

Residents of Space City know all too well the pain associated with being a big city without a professional football team. In 1996 due to the deteriorating condition of the Astrodome, Houstonians lost their beloved Oilers to Tennessee. The fourth largest city in the US went without an NFL team for nearly half a decade. Then late in 2000, it was announced that Houston’s new football team would be christened, (what else?) the Houston Texans. There was not a dry eye as Bob McNair unveiled the new red, white and dark blue Houston Texans jerseys.

This is why residents of the Bayou City are obsessed with wearing battle red Houston Texans hats, and Houston Texans sweatshirts as well as Houston Texans t-shirts emblazoned with Toro.
