"The City of Huntsville is hosting the Houston Texans at the Sam Houston Statue & Visitor Center to promote their new Color Rush, H-Town-inspired jersey on the statue. The Houston Texans approached the Tourism Division with the opportunity, and David Adickes, the statue sculptor, supported and blessed the project."
According to the Houston Texans article:
"Located in Huntsville, the famous David Addickes-designed statue now has a number 24 jersey on to celebrate the Texans' uniform unveiling. The 24 is in honor of the year 2024, and rather than cornerback Derek Stingley, Jr.'s last name on the back, it has "HOUSTON".
STI Graphics created the jersey, which weighs about 200 pounds and was made from 330 square yards of material. In all, it took 125 man hours, multiple staff, and two large cranes to fabricate and install."
