The University of Houston has executed a reverse by informing the NFL that it plans to proceed with adding an alternate uniform that features the Columbia blue color scheme.The decision comes approximately six months after the NFL’s merchandising and licensing division threatened legal action in a cease-and-desist letter, citing the school’s “blatant copying” of the old Houston Oilers. The Cougars initially wore their Columbia blue uniforms in a 17-14 season-opening win over Texas-San Antonio on Sept. 2, 2023.”We literally have a story we can show the city uses it,” athletic director Chris Pezman told the Houston Chronicle. “This isn’t a reach. This is a layup. We’ve got a very defensible position.”Pezman also added, “We’re doing it. We’ve reviewed everything and come to the conclusion that we are going to proceed.”Per Pezman, Houston has informed the NFL of its decision.”We’re giving them two or three weeks to respond,” Pezman said. “We’re waiting on a response to see if we get one.”
