NFL threatens Houston with legal action over 'blatant copying' of Oilers-inspired uniforms, per report (www.cbssports.com)

Why yes, yes I am a Texas resident and Jacksonville Jaguars fan who has finally found the nexus between college football and the Tennessee Titans' ownership being absolute perennial dickbags about the Oilers branding.

They also threatened the XFL's Houston Roughnecks enough for them to change their logo when it rebooted this year. Although the second iteration was still an oil derrick and was actually a better design than the first.

I don't think they'd win a USPTO lawsuit here (I mean, who is going to confuse the college team with a long-defunct NFL team?) but I also am not a fan of Houston using blue since it's not one of their school colors.

The AAF had the best brands and designs out of all the spring leagues, and it seems in retrospect that they must have spent literally ALL their money on them, but of the XFL ones the Roughnecks were/are pretty strong (USFL merger pending).
