They are playing in the cougars stadium so it makes more sense to have red uniforms to compliment the already in place stadium accents

Which franchise currently owns the “rights” to the Oilers?

I haven’t seen those since the Texans came in

Is it because of that?

Bud Adams took it to Tennessee. That’s why they were the Tennessee Oilers for a couple of seasons...playing in Vanderbilt Stadium and the Liberty Bowl.

I know that was originally but is there some kind of change with the uniforms now that there are the Texans?

Have the Titans worn those throwbacks since the Texans have became a team?
Can’t remember .

If so, need to bring them back

No, the Titans wear the Oilers throwbacks since it’s the same franchise. Texans have no connection to the Oilers or any rights to wear those throwbacks.

It’s is fricking criminal that Houston wasn’t able to keep the Oilers name. Houston Texans just don’t sound right. It should be the Oilers forever.

It’s disgusting, but I still buy it from time to time so Aggies have to see earls face every time they step foot in H-E-B

I feel like any team that moves from a city and then changes their name should give up the rights to the previous name to the former city if that city regains another franchise in that sport.

Just like when the Hornets became the Pelicans and we gave the Hornets name back to Charlotte.

Now if only Utah would change their NBA name and give us back the Jazz.

Pretty sure they wore the Oiler jerseys in 2009.
