University of Houston to Proceed with Oilers-Inspired Uniforms Despite NFL Objections

The University of Houston remains steadfast in its decision to use Oilers-inspired blue uniforms for its sports teams, challenging the NFL's cease-and-desist order.

The University of Houston plans to continue using light blue uniforms for its sports teams, defying a cease-and-desist order from the NFL.
Athletic Director Chris Pezman asserts the university has a strong legal position to use the Oilers-inspired design, describing it as a 'layup'.
The NFL claims the uniforms are a 'blatant' copy of the Houston Oilers' trademark, now owned by the Tennessee Titans.
Houston Cougars initially introduced the light blue uniforms during their 2023 season opener against UTSA.
The university has given the NFL a two to three-week window to respond to their decision to proceed with the uniforms.
