The University of Houston has informed the NFL that it will proceed with plans to add an alternate blue uniform. The about-face comes six months after the NFL’s merchandising and licensing division sent a cease-and-desist letter to UH, threatening legal action if the school did not halt what was described as UH’s “blatant copying” of the Houston Oilers-themed uniforms.

Good. Fuck Bud Adams. If spectator sports have any value beyond mere economic activity, it's down to communities and their fans.

NFL: We own the color blue used by a team that doesn't exist any more.

UH: LOL, no.

By all accounts he thought that because he founded the team and liked the name, blackmailing the city and then moving to Tennessee and completely rebranding didn't matter and he was justified in strenuously opposing 40 years of history in Houston. Legally, he and his family have had a good run with it, but there are limits and I like seeing UH (and potentially the Texans) test them.
