thread_title: Improvement drive

message: The article should answer:  When the team moved and changed their name to the Titans, why was the expansion team named the Texans instead of naming it the new Oilers?  (That is, why didn't they mirror what happened after the Browns moved and became the Ravens, and the new Cleveland team became the new Browns.)  Tempshill 05:28, 19 December 2005 (UTC)
thread_title:  Name of the new team 

message: This sentence was minor, but a laugher: For reasons unknown and unexplained, Los Angeles seemed to be indifferent with the prospect of being awarded an NFL franchise. No real progress seemed to be made toward securing a suitable stadium (both the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum and the Rose Bowl are aging facilities). --uh, there was a lot written in the LA Times and many other major media sources about the LA area's issue with taxes and public funds for the stadium (as well as the less interest in the average LA resident).  I'll have to dig up an article and remove this humously uniformed statement. -- Bobak 21:21, 29 April 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  LA's indifference a "mystery"? 

message: you should put in that the team is moving to Los Angeles.

replies: text: after rereading the article and trying to find facts to support the article I realize that there is a LOT that is not correct or may be correct but the evenets are not right.  Also there are several pages that link to this page for it's content and it would be nice if the content was right.  One think I saw that was not correct was McNair almost buying the Edmonton Oilers and moving them to Houston.  This is false.  It was Les Alexander, the owner of the Rockets, that almost did this.  I can not find a solid website stating McNair was ever involved in bringing Hockey to Houston.  I am still looking but most seem to have read this article and based their info off of it.  I am going to still research and get this right!  --Mickey 19:51, 30 December 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: needs work

message: I did a little work on the section about the history of the "Texans" nickname and logo.  The previous version has a VERY dubious statement about the Oilers trademark.  The trademark is not unavailable because it was "retired": on the contrary, it was unavailable because it is still in use.  The Tennessee Titans (who played as the Tennessee Oilers for a while) still own the trademark and they still actively use it on merchandise, etc. They also take the field on occasion in "throwback" Oilers uniforms. We don't really know if Bud McNair and his partners even wanted to use the old nickname and logo anyway: it is very conceivable that they wanted to start with an entirely new identity for their team.  (The Cleveland Browns situation, by the way, was totally different and has nothing much to do with what happened in Houston, even if both the Texans and the revived Browns were repopulating NFL markets which had been abandoned during the 1990s.)  Finally, the section still has an uncited story (even after I edited it) about McNair and the owner of the Kansas City Chiefs personally agreeing to let the new Houston club use the "Texans" nickname, which was formerly used by the Chiefs when they played in Dallas.  It is actually more likely that individuals below the owners' pay-grade made the deal.  Timothy Horrigan (talk) 01:12, 10 April 2010 (UTC)

thread_title:  The history section needs a paragraph or two 

message: I want to challenge the year that the Houston Texans were established. I believe they were not established in 2002. I have edited it along with a reference as evidence however it apparently wasn't enough. 
I have proof and valid points as well. 
I found a video on YouTube surfacing were the franchise name logo and colors were revealed on September 6, 2000. How could the organization be established in 2002 when their name and color revealing occurred two years ago. The Texans history even stated that in 1999, the team owners were awarded a team to complete in the NFL as the 32nd franchise. 
Carolina Panthers who were another expansion team in the 90's did not "joined" the NFL until 1995 yet they were established in 1993. My beloved Green bay packers joined the NFL in 1921 yet they established in 1919 and the Arizona Cardinals established in 1898, long before the NFL existed. 
I have been a Packers fan since 2005 and been following the NFL since 2005. That year of establishment of the Houston Texans needs to get changed or this page will not be valid nor accurate.  Bluhaze777 (talk) 13:54, 4 January 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: The team came into existence as a coprorate entity in 1999 (at the latest.)  During 2000 and 2001, the team adopted a nickname, hired a staff, got the new stadium built, etc., etc. Several free agents players were signed in late 2001. The Texans didn't begin playing till 2002.  The infobox correctly reads "First Season: 2002." Timothy Horrigan (talk) 17:38, 16 October 2017 (UTC)
