The only kid I ever saw wear Oilers gear to school in the 80s was a girl in jr high - and she only got away with it because beating up a girl wouldn’t have been cool. Other than that, I didn’t see a single student or teacher wear Oilers gear or express even the most tepid support for the Oilers. It just wasn’t done. And this was the peak Gretzky era.
So this whole Oilers fans in Calgary thing I hear about must have started in the 90s at the earliest.
