neo_prankster Posted April 5 Share Posted April 5 I always wished the Oilers were able to stay in Houston, even as a kid. Today, I would imagine they'd have an updated derrick logo similar to what the Roughnecks use now in the UFL.

MJWalker45 Posted April 5 Share Posted April 5 I think any updates would probably be closer to the 2020 version, but I would think this is just the next evolution of the derrick. I almost wish that the UFL had flipped the colors for Arlington/Dallas and Houston but with the NFL throwing out lawsuits left and right, it wasn't going to happen. I like this recolor, I just wonder if they'd have Luv Ya Blue helmets as well as the white helmets now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So what you're saying is that if the Oilers were still in Houston today, they would go with the 2020 Roughnecks derrick first before the 2023 derrick?

TrueYankee26 Posted April 6 Share Posted April 6 IMO by the early 2000s they would have gone with a constipated oil man and darker colors until sometime in the 2010s where they go with the above logo if they had stayed in Houston 1 Quote trueyankee26.wordpress.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheAnt755 Posted April 6 Share Posted April 6 You know, I always wonder what Nashville will also look like if the Houston Oilers still existed... (But, I honestly think that Nashville will still be called the "Titans") Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could definitely see this as a 2024 Houston Oilers logo had they never moved to Tennessee, nice mix of Luv Ya Blue and IRL Texans colors Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mcrosby Posted April 9 Share Posted April 9 Instead of just re-colors of the roughnecks two logos maybe try a combination of the two. Their newest logo is much better design-wise, but their older logo is a taller oil derrick like the Oilers. Try using the design style of the current logo but extending it up.

Full disclosure, I loved your NFL redesign series you did a few years back. For the Oilers, I tried to avoid the Lone Star to make sure Mr. Jones over in the Metroplex wouldn't throw a tantrum. Anyways, would it be too much if I add some flare to the top of the derrick? Quote The Fictional Story of Austus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcrosby Posted April 10 Share Posted April 10 I think it could work, though I'd direct the flames/oil towards the rear fo the helmet. 1 Quote https://twitter.com/OutOfThisWC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You mean the opposite of where the oil is gushing in that prototype? 1 Quote The Fictional Story of Austus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could also see this inspiring a center stripe with the oil just going straight back. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
