Six months after receiving a cease-and-desist letter from the NFL, UH plans to defy the league and add an alternate blue uniform.
SCOTTSDALE , Ariz . — 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.
The uniforms featured a script “Houston” on the front and on both sides of the helmet instead of the Oilers’ iconic oil derrick logo. In a letter to the university sent last Oct. 13, the NFL said “the Houston Cougars’ attempt to free ride on the popularity of the NFL and the club violates the intellectual property rights of the NFL and Titans.” Pezman said the school’s new design has made modifications with the stripes.
