There are those that call the NFL the 'No Fun League,' and they might be right.

According to published reports, The NFL’s merchandising and licensing division has sent a strongly worded cease-and-desist letter to the University of Houston to stop any further unauthorized use of the Oilers’ trademarked “Luv Ya Blue” uniform. 

U-H used those uniforms in a game against UTSA back on September 2nd. Rice University wore similar themed uniforms on September 30th against East Carolina. But, the report says that Rice had yet to receive any communication from the NFL.

The Tennessee Titans, wore throwback uniforms this past weekend against the Atlanta Falcons, something former Texans star J.J. Watt wasn't a fan of.

Watt told The Pat McAfee Show: “Having lived in Houston for 10 years and (seen) the people there and the connection that they have to Earl Campbell, to Warren Moon, to these guys that wore those, these guys that wore those uniforms and what that meant when they played at the Astrodome, it hurts to not have been able to wear those in Houston, and it hurts to see them being worn somewhere else.”
