ET80 Posted April 7, 2023 Share Posted April 7, 2023 Just now, D82 said: Yeah. That just wouldn't make sense. Though Texans is kind of a weak name...something like Traffic Jams, Hurricanes, Swamp ***** would fit better... I was pulling for the Apollos - stick with the Space City theme that the Astros and Rockets already have. Texans ultimately grew on me. If they rebranded the team now, I might actually miss the simplicity of the name. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoboRocket Posted April 7, 2023 Share Posted April 7, 2023 The Northern Cardinal is not a migratory bird, and is rare in AZ. Also the Cardinals were named after a color, originally, because they bought washed-out hand-me-down uniforms from the University of Chicago, which were described as Cardinal Red. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warhorse Posted April 7, 2023 Share Posted April 7, 2023 Well, for that matter.....there was a team called the Dallas Texans....that eventually became the Colts who are now in Indy. Houston Colts makes sense....if not....nauseating. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought the AFL Dallas Texans (the Chicago Cardinals, bought by Lamar Hunt) eventually became Patrick Mahomes' current franchise, the Kansas City Chiefs... In other news, YOUR 2022 World Series Champion Houston Astros used to be referred to as the Houston Colt .45s - because we love guns down here. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well I figured since the baseball team is already named after their dog, and Jetsons rhymes with Texans if you're a mumble rapper. 🤷♂️ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Texans are considered one of the worst teams in NFL history, both on and off the field, and while based in Dallas, they were later based in Hershey, Pennsylvania and Akron, Ohio during their only season. After the team folded, the league awarded its assets to the new Baltimore Colts (who moved to Indianapolis in 1984). Professional football returned to Dallas in 1960, as the American Football League (AFL) commenced operations with one of its eight charter members in Dallas (also called the Texans), while the NFL added the Dallas Cowboys. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
