Not to be outdone, the Houston Texans, an NFL team, expressed interest in acquiring the rights to the Oilers’ throwback design from the Tennessee Titans. This move signifies the desire to honor and commemorate the Oilers’ storied past. In fact, the Titans have confirmed that they will don throwback Oilers uniforms for two home games, including a highly anticipated matchup against the Texans on December 17th.
In what promises to be a visually captivating season opener, the Cougars will proudly don their new Oilers-themed jerseys this Saturday. To add to the ambiance, the end zones at TDECU Stadium will be painted in the same baby-blue color as the jerseys, creating an immersive experience for players and fans alike.
The University of Houston’s decision to incorporate the beloved Oilers’ aesthetic into their football program not only pays tribute to a significant part of Houston’s sports history but also serves as a reminder of the team’s deep roots within the community.
