I find this rush to rebrand as the Oilers pretty sad. This is being pushed by folks like yourself who have no clue as to just what a pathetic, joke of an organization the Oilers were in the NFL. All you see is those two Luv Ya Blue years with Bum and Earl but that was 45 years ago. Bud Adams f*cked over the city of Houston and its long suffering football fans so much that when he left people were GLAD to see his sorry ass go. As I’ve posted in the past, NOBODY bothered to sue him and the NFL and force them to relinquish the Oilers name and property like what happened in Cleveland. Now, 28 years later, folks here mistakenly think they can force the league to take away something owned by another team owner and give it to the Texans simply because they want it. The league doesn’t work that way and for them to do so would be creating a dangerous precedent. The McNairs can sue the Titans all they won’t but I just don’t see them winning in court. Their only recourse would be to offer to buy back the Oilers name and intellectual property (good luck with that) and it wouldn’t surprise me one bit if Bud didn’t put something into his will to prevent that from happening.
people loved the Oilers and Hated Bud. The only thing which has changed is AMY taking over as the willing Villain.
You missed the entire point of no one wanting the oilers back. Hell the color scheme looks nothing like the Oilers and folks love it. It’s a damn color. Christ. A HOUSTON color. The uniform looks NOTHING like the Oilers.
I have no idea if you're old enough to remember, but I sincerely doubt it. Bud Adams was the villain, NOT THE OILERS.
Oh yes I know he was the Villian. I am saying currently, the Texans aren’t rebranding as the Oilers. The use of a color doesn’t make it so.
This post is all over the place. The Texans new uniforms look absolutely nothing like the Oilers. There is no litigation. The lawsuit in CLE had zero to do with intellectual property. The city had a legit argument that Modell walked the lease. The settlement was around the colors and team history and Art gladly moved on. I can’t imagine Bud ever doing that. Oh well. They’re called the Texans. They wear uniforms 14 weeks that look like updated versions of the ones they wore forever. They wear all red once maybe twice. And they wear dark blue that DARES (gasp) to mix in some light blue along with it once maybe twice. There’s no Oiler rebrand here at all.
Thank you. That dude just has permanent issues and he makes the same version of the same post every year. Its anger towards the Oilers/Bud… and somewhere mention some sort of inferiority complex to Dallas. It’s tired but ever-so consistent. I honestly don’t think he realizes he posts a slightly altered version of the SAME take every time. It’s almost Bot/AI-ish. As far as all this goes… Houston knows where those memories were made. Every person old enough to remember luv ya blue knows exactly where/when they were when that all went down. Offspring of dead owners and lawyers can do whatever the F they want, but they can’t really change history. And that is why Titans fans are somewhat annoyed. They’d love it if it was just their own team and they didn’t have to try and honor another cities’ players/memories year after year. They can fully see how spiteful it’s become and they’re now embarrassed and would just like it to stop.
I understand. The DALLAS Texans rebranded when they moved to Kansas City and The Chiefs didn't hold Houston Hostage for the TEXANS branding just because they had it for a year in 1960. From now on, Team Brands should belong to the cities and not the Team Owners. If the NFL doesn't like that, then pay back all the municipal funds they have extorted for new stadiums.
Honestly, that shade doesn't even look like the Oiler blue. It's definitely lighter than the dark blue we wear otherwise...but it's not light Columbia blue either.
Official hex code for the Oilers blue is https://www.colorhexa.com/418fde Titans blue is https://www.colorhexa.com/418fde Carolina Panthers blue is https://www.colorhexa.com/0085ca Htown Blue is https://www.colorhexa.com/0080c5 Detroit Lions blue is https://www.colorhexa.com/0076b6 They get darker as you go fyi.
interesting...I have a difficult time distinguishing between Houston and Carolina on that...but then again, I'm old af!
You’re right about the uniform but wrong about the color. The Titans/Adams family have intellectual ownership of the Columbia Blue color. You simply cannot arbitrarily label it a HOUSTON color because you want it t be so. And it would not surprise me one iota if the so-called “compromise” the NFL worked out with the Titans to allow the Texans use of their color translates to them getting a cut of all Texans merchandise sales using that color. Never forget that the NFL is first and foremost about $$$ and NO decision they make is done without consideration of the bottom line.
