Meanwhile, No. 1 overall pick Bryce Young and the Panthers plan to counter with their black jerseys and silver helmets against the Texans in Week 8. Currently, the 3-3 Texans are three-point road favorites against the Panthers, who are 0-6.
Still, the biggest uniform storyline in Houston this week won't directly involve the Texans. But the Tennessee Titans -- who called Houston home from their inception in 1960 through the 1996 season -- will wear Oilers throwback jerseys against the Atlanta Falcons.
Given that the overwhelming majority of Oilers history took place in Houston, Texans icon J.J. Watt spoke out against the Titans being the team who own that history and get to wear one of the most iconic uniforms in sports history.
"I just know, having lived in Houston for 10 years and the people there and the connection that they have to Earl Campbell, to Warren Moon, to these guys that wore those, to Billy "White Shoes" [Johnson]," Watt said. "These guys that wore those uniforms and what that meant when they played at the Astrodome. It hurts to not have been able to wear those in Houston and it hurts to see them being worn somewhere else."
