Houston Texans logo history
The Houston Texans unveiled their name and bull-head logo in September 2000, ahead of their first season in 2002. The current logo retains that original design with updated team colors introduced in 2024. Its divided head, curved horns and white star eye remain the defining features.

The original version uses the earlier blue and red, while the current version uses the updated palette. The bull’s shape is essentially unchanged. The Houston Oilers’ derrick belongs to the franchise now known as the Tennessee Titans.
What does the Texans logo represent?
The mark depicts a bull’s head, with red and blue sections separated by white. The star eye reinforces the Texas identity. The bull head remains Houston’s primary logo, with the H-Town H serving as an alternate mark.
When did the Houston Texans start playing?
Houston was awarded an expansion franchise in 1999, and the Texans began NFL play in 2002. That followed the Oilers’ departure for Tennessee after the 1996 season. The Texans have their own history from their first game onward, even though both franchises have represented Houston.
