The University of Houston has informed the NFL that it will proceed with plans to add an alternate blue uniform. The about-face comes six months after the NFL’s merchandising and licensing division sent a cease-and-desist letter to UH, threatening legal action if the school did not halt what was described as UH’s “blatant copying” of the Houston Oilers-themed uniforms.
Good. Fuck Bud Adams. If spectator sports have any value beyond mere economic activity, it’s down to communities and their fans.
@wjrii I initially hoped the city would move on from Oilers colors. They left us, betrayed us. But it seems the move is to take back that identity and I’m coming around to the idea of it.
Especially if it upsets the Titans.
Plus the UH blue jerseys are immaculate.
