Houston Roughnecks' XFL uniforms give a nod to city's football past
HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) -- You could see the tribute to Houston's football past in the uniforms of the XFL's Roughnecks.
The team unveiled the new on-field gear on Tuesday, with primary colors of red, navy and grey dominating the look.
Prominently displayed, though, on the team's look is the oil derrick fused with an "H" on the helmet, which is reminiscent of the Houston Oilers' logo.
