Defiant College Football Team Sticks with Houston-Inspired Blue Uniforms Despite NFL’s Legal Threats: Report
Houston Cougars Defend Decision to Use Blue Uniforms Despite NFL Objection
The Houston Cougars have made a firm decision to proceed with their plan of incorporating light blue alternative uniforms for their sports teams, despite facing opposition from the NFL. This move comes after the NFL issued a cease-and-desist letter to the university, alleging that the uniforms were a direct copy of the Houston Oilers trademark.
According to a report by the Houston Chronicle, the university formally notified the NFL of their intention to move forward with the blue jerseys. Athletic director Chris Pezman emphasized the significance of the uniforms, stating, “We literally have a story we can show the city uses it. This isn’t a reach. This is a layup. We’ve got a very defensible position.”

a duel of regulars in the semi-finals of the Champions League
Tuesday April 30, at 9 p.m., two of the finest records in European football face off in the semi-final first leg of the Champions League. Bayern Munich, six-time winner of the competition, welcomes Real Madrid, the most sacred club, with its fourteen “big-eared cups” to the Allianz Arena. A prestigious poster for a great classic: the two teams have already crossed swords twenty-six times in the tournament since the 1975-1976 edition of what was then called the Champion Clubs’ Cup; among them, fourteen matches from the last four (seven semi-finals, with double confrontations). A record.
Obviously, these duels gave rise to legendary encounters. In 2000, for example, the Merengue, led by Iker Casillas, deprived the Germans of the final thanks to Nicolas Anelka, newly arrived at the club: scorer in the first leg – which ended in a success for Real on home soil (2 -0) -, the French international once again made the difference with a superb header and qualified his team despite the defeat in Bavaria on the return leg (2-1).
Already the executioner of Munich when he was a player (in 2002 and 2004), another Blue, Zinédine Zidane, was also merciless on the Madrid bench in 2017 and 2018, coronation years for the Spaniards. The first time, it was in overtime that Cristiano Ronaldo’s Real took out the German champions in the quarter-final second leg (4-2), after winning against their rivals in act 1 (1-2 ). The following year, the Merengue won again by the same away score (1-2), then a double from Karim Benzema
