Houston Cougars - Oilers-inspired uniforms

[AdventureHasAName]

As a duly-recognized grumpy old man, I hate the concept of every team wearing 20 different alternate uniforms and uniform color combinations. That said, I saw this today and thought they are some of the coolest alternate uniforms I've seen in college football.

I was thinking Ole Miss. Nevertheless, they are sharp.

I like alternate retro throwback that’s not too ugly if that’s a thing. These are great. Can’t stand the baseball-city ones they trot out on weekends.

The problem with the University of Houston (that should be a lesson to other schools) is that they change their uniforms every season so alumni has nothing traditional to identify with.

I grew up a huge Stabler/Raiders fans since the Giants stunk in the 70’s. Stabler then played for the Oilers in 80/81. I switched to the Oilers as a result. Stabler finished his career with the Saints.

Loved Pastorini as well and funny thing is he was part of the Raiders team that won the Super Bowl in 1980. He was also a drag racer after his NFL career was over. Pretty cool.

Great team - too bad Oilers had to run into Steelers in playoffs every year

Well, not so bad given that I'm a Steelers fan first, then an Oilers fan.

I forgot that Archie Manning played for the Oilers at the end of his career. Someone shared a 1980 opening day Giants vs. Rams game on my FB feed and he came up during highlights shown from around the league.

Those uniforms are fire.
