The club wasn't founded in 1836. Maby the city of Houston was founded then, I have no idea. The club was actually recently relocated to Houston. http://houston.mlsnet.com/MLS/hou/about/ onT: I think the jersys look alright.
i agree... and i'm not really into wearing jerseys (or is it jersies... i dunno). i haven't worn a jersey since the di1d0 unis came out when i was in high school. anyway... i think these look bad arse and i plan on getting one.
If you look closely, you'll notice that neither of the Houston players are smiling--they have that look of "I can't believe I have to wear this crap. And I can't believe it had to happen in Houston. How embarrassing." And you'll notice the non-Houston players smiling, thinking "Hahaha...Man, I'd hate be representing Houston in the terrible uniforms. Suckers!"
