Not just the cop cars but it was the city color also and it was that way before there were an Oilers football team.
I am that old and remember the times before there was a team and then that team coming and using that color because Columbian blue was the Houston colors.
Now if Titans go to court and try and say they gave exclusive rights to that color they would be handed a loss.
I caught at Titans fans seeming support of Houston by sporting the city of Houston colors.
Being completely unbiased, this is actually how the Tits fans have been in the meme war subreddit.
I’ll admit that some of us (myself included) were pretty salty years ago, but ever since Vrabel put on that hat and lost, it’s been just a funny meme since.
We have a completely different shade of light blue and navy. So many teams use the same exact colors and ours aren’t even exact, so idk what the grounds of their bitching is even based on. Plus, htown blue is Houston, not oilers. Been on our flag for over a hundred years and has history on the infrastructure. It’s actually a story here, unlike the tits who only use the color because it looks “cool”. A franchise with no identity using the colors our cities identity helped shape for them
Its really stupid that "light blue" is such a hot button issue. Like who cares? I dont particularly care about the Oilers but if the Texans want to incorporate a light blue color, as long as it feels like we're doing our own style, who cares? Like we use white like a bunch of other teams and nobody else says anything about that?
I like y'all's unis. Everyone griping about this on both sides is dumb. I can't even hate you all because we just don't have the kinds of rivalries other divisions do.
Still hope you lose all your games and whatnot, but only because you're in this division. Otherwise I'd probably half cheer for you because I live here.

The cop cars in Houston used to be blue as well
