What would it take to change the Texans to the Oilers?

It seems like their franchise needs a boost of energy. What would it take to bring back Luv ya blue?

Jerry Jones owned the rights to 'Texans' and gave it to McNair for free.

I thought Lamar owned the Texan name, since that’s who the Texans are.

I think that nickname sums up the Texas ethos. They think just using their normal state demonym means something. Of course to the rest of the country it's no different than having a team called the Denver Coloradans. Uh.. ok?

That was from an interview Jerry gave I remember the article. It was also Jerry dogging the little brother.

Also Lamar is dead so he can’t refute it.

I think lower in article it explains the interview and Hunt.

The Apollos would have been a much better and cooler team name.

How about the NFL pulls an NBA and changes the Texans name to Oilers and reassigns all the Oilers history to the "New Oilers" franchise that didn't exist when all those things happened.

Yeah still trying to figure out that decision.

As a Texans fan I would love it, not a fan of the name. I don’t see the Titans ownership wanting to give it up or the stodgy McNairs being interested either

Best name for a Texas based team IMO

Who owned the Gamblers? That would’ve been good also

Problem is both are anti-PC now

When San Antonio had a Canadian Football League team in the 90s, they also went with boring arse Texans as the name.

What nba franchise did that happen to?

Eta: the nfl has also already done that once with the ravens and the browns.
