Is there a legit movement to have the Houston Texans rebrand to Oilers?

If I recall, Bud Adams had those naming rights - does his family or estate still own them?
Wouldn't it be a no brainer to appeal to old Houston fans as well as tap into the huge retro movement (Astros are a great example in the same city) by reverting to the classic name, colors, and logos?
Any possible version of the old Oilers uniforms would be an instant and tremendous upgrade over the bland and "too many cooks in the kitchen" corporate blah that are the Houston Texans.

It should be. It makes too much sense. If Tennessee would get upset about Houston using the same colors, they could at least change the name and keep their current colors. Just, please, get rid of Texans.

I would love to see the Oilers back.

yeah it's a huge travesty actually

They should totally rebrand the the oilers but I don't think it will ever happen.

There isn't 1 Houston NFL fan who would be opposed to this.

Houston professional teams suck dick...and I know about sucking dick.

I've heard some older fans say they don't want the Oilers name back because Bud Adams was such an a-hole that they feel like it's good riddance.

I would love to have the Oilers name back. The "Texans" is just weird considering all the state of Texas are considered "Texans".
Also, the Rangers need to to get rid of the "Texas" Rangers name. It doesn't make sense. Dallas Rangers will work just fine.

If Earl Campell can re born it would be perfect

Texans is bland and kinda dumb. Oilers would be welcomed. Maybe one day.

Those throwbacks would be one of the best looking unis in the league

You missed several opportunities to drop "mates"

I don't know. It's not like the Oilers were a storied franchise.

Edmonton Oilers could move to Houston. Not sure why Houston never got an NHL team.
Posted on 10/10/15 at 10:10 am to SirWinston
I will never accept Houston being anything other than the Oilers
Posted on 10/10/15 at 12:37 pm to SirWinston
That would be awesome to have the oilers back
Posted on 10/10/15 at 1:18 pm to SirWinston
