Men's Earl Houston Oilers 1979 Throwback Jersey

Supporting Houston Oilers is a habit, not a fixture. This jersey is made for the hours between kick-off and full time - and for the rest of the week. Quick answer: a custom Houston Oilers jersey - any name and number - throwback build, 1979.

What you get

  • Mesh panels for ventilation
  • 100% Polyester knit with a flat, matte finish

Throwback reissue detail

This is a throwback reissue: the colourway, crest and cut revive an earlier era of the club's shirt rather than the current campaign.

Care that keeps it new

Cold machine wash, inside out, then tumble dry low.

Finishing detail

Single-needle stitching at the seams, a ribbed neckline that keeps its shape, and a hem that stays flat after washing.

Fan version vs on-field version

  • Fan version: softer knit, roomier fit, lower price.
  • On-field version: closer cut, firmer fabric, premium price.
  • Team colours and crest are the same on both.

Version, sizing and what you are buying

This listing is the throwback cut. It carries the same colours and crest as the on-field design, with a softer knit, a more forgiving fit and a lighter price - made for wearing rather than for the tunnel.

The fit is true to a normal sports cut for supporters. Order your usual size for a close-but-comfortable fit, or size up if you prefer something looser.

WHAT REALLY MAKES OUR THREADS UNBEATABLE?​​

We don’t chase thread counts. Not because they don’t matter—but because true quality goes far beyond threads per square inch. Here’s what we prioritize instead:
  • ​Finest Organic Materials: We start with the purest, ethically sourced organic cotton, silk, or linen—fibers chosen for their strength, softness, and ability to age gracefully. No shortcuts, no compromises.
  • ​Meticulous Weaving: Every thread is woven with care, using time-honored techniques that preserve the integrity of the fabric. No rough edges, no fraying—just smooth, durable construction.
  • ​Gentle Finishing: Harsh chemicals? Never. We use plant-based dyes, natural softeners, and low-impact processes to finish our threads, ensuring they stay breathable, hypoallergenic, and kind to your skin.
