    Houston is tied much more to oil then aerospace these days. It is considered the fattest/most polluted city in the Union.

    I propose The Houston Carjackers.

    It fits within the culture of the city.

    But changing team names seems silly, in general. Especially an established franchise that doesn't have the word 'devil' in the name.
