re: Did Houston ever try to get Oilers name again?

So it seems like it was Bud Adams and heirs giving middle finger to Houston. I remember reading that the Titans took Vince Young just because Adams didn’t want the favorite son to go to Houston. I appreciate the bitterness.
Texans helmet is as good as it can be but the name lacks imagination. The Kansas City Missourians?

Yeah, 'state nickname' can only work in a few states. The ABA "Miami Floridians" (later just "The Floridians") were one:
WFL's "The Hawaiians" were another:
"Texans" was also used by Dallas in the old AFL, San Antonio in the CFL, and Houston in the WFL:

bullshite. Few descriptions have more panache than Texans. It speaks for itself and conjures up all kinds of imagery.
Think "Dallas" was a boring TV show name? Far from it. Same thing.
It's odd you mentioned Kansas City, though. The Chiefs were originally the Dallas Texans.

Yeah, Texans is such a dull name. I don’t know why McNair didn’t try to buy back the Oilers name when Houston was awarded a new team. The Chiefs used to be the Texans, so I guess they abandoned the name and history when they went to KC. I don’t know why Adams would even want the Oilers name anymore when they were renamed Titans.

I doubt VY would have made it to the second round. The Texans rightfully passed on young for Mario Williams.
I hate the Texans branding and wish we could have the oilers back. Great color scheme and very fitting nickname. It blows
