Watching Earl Campbell highlights on NFL network and always loved those helmets. And the name. Was there a legal issue involved with rights to the name or was it a matter of new ownership just wanting to create their own identity?

Tagliabue retired the name and logo.

If I ever became commissioner, I would bring back the unique Super Bowl logos. Then I'd give the Oilers back to Houston.

The Oilers history still belogns to the Titans franchise.

When a team moves they almost always take the old records and history with them.

The Ravens/Browns was a unique exception.

I tell people all the time that if the Texans would become the Oilers, I’d be a big fan. Texans is aggressively bland.

Oilers bumper stickers would rival truck nuts in Texas for most oilfield bawtastic status symbol.

The Titans were selling these t-shirts on their team website when Bud Adams was alive.



So yes, the Titans still have rights to that name.

Yep Oilers need to be back in Houston. Buy our history back and rebrand the Texans.
