NFL's New 'Rivalries' Uniforms Are Here for NFC North and AFC South: Eight Teams Just Got a New Look for 2026
Nike and the NFL unveiled the alternate jerseys as the league phases the rivalries program into use over four seasons.
On Tuesday, the Houston Texans officially unveiled their 'HOUSTON/US' Rivalries uniform, a new look created through the NFL's collaboration with Nike featuring blue-and-white mosaic street tiles inspired by Houston's historic street art.
The NFL is phasing these 'rivalries' uniforms into the league over four years as part of the Nike Rivalries Program, with all 32 teams scheduled to eventually utilize these alternate designs.
Players' jersey numbers feature the block font from the iconic 'Be Someone' bridge, the helmet includes a Chrome Blue Facemask paying homage to local car culture, and the bullhead logo sits directly over the heart.
The Texans will debut the uniform during prime-time Thursday Night Football against the Indianapolis Colts in Week 11, with merchandise available starting September 1, 2026, at the Houston Texans Team Shop.
Other AFC South teams have also unveiled Rivalries designs that will remain in rotation for three years, though ongoing disputes persist over 'Luv Ya Blue' colors owned by the Tennessee Titans.
