Houston Texans announce home game themes for 2022
The Houston Texans announced their 2022 home game themes.
The themes range from Liberty White Out when the Texans wear white jerseys and white pants — generally for the first home game of the year — to Battle Red Day when the Texans wear red jerseys.
Other home game themes help raise awareness for causes, such as Pink Ribbon Day, which helps draw attention to the NFL’s Crucial Catch initiative, which emphasizes cancer screenings and early detection.
The final two home game themes are the most exciting for fans. Homecoming will feature former Texans players coming back to NRG Stadium, and Fan Appreciation Day will be the Texans’ way of thanking fans for their support in 2022.
Here is a list of the home game themes.
