What’s the history there? How long were they the Strikers?

I have no idea. One of my buddies was on that first team. I remember something about Karbach coming in as a sponsor and wanting their colors closer to one of their beers or something. Sabercats still dorsnt make sense as a Houston team name. Also, Strikers was the name of some old semi-pro club/team.

They launched as the Strikers in 2017 but rebranded before playing any matches. I thought maybe they had played in the 2017 Major Rugby Championship - essentially "year zero" of MLR with the Austin Huns, Glendale Raptors, NOLA RFC, and Utah Select XV - but I guess they were established a little late for that.

Not really, just some guys that were involved as players and "took" the brand. They're not connected to the Doug Schoninger owned entity.

Let's hope we aren't saying "Remember MLR?" anytime soon. Buy those game tickets for you and your friends now.
