  1. Also here is the Oilers Jaguars - Happened 6 times though before the renaming. Only 4 times when Oilers were in Houston though.JagsOilersWin.JPG

    Those Oilers uniforms were a thing of beauty. Puts teams like the Jags, Texans, Cardinals and Bucs to shame as far as current aesthetics go!

  2. One more point to rebut the "all you need is a bucket of paint and a plasma screen TV to fix up the EJD" crowd. Most of the Rams fanbase (such as it is) thinks the stadium is a dump.

    Guess it's all a matter of perspective. I've seen many NFL games over the years, but to date all of my in person experiences have been at Candlestick Park, Qualcomm Stadium and the Oakland Coliseum. So you'll have to excuse me if I see the Rams and their fans as being spoiled.

    I've been to NFL games at Ralph Wilson Stadium (BUF), Solider Field (CHI) both are true stadium experiences. When I saw the Bills play the Rams in St. Louis 3 years ago, I was struck by how sterile and "corporate" their stadium was... the EJD is like a mall with carpeted hallways... maybe more like an airport than a sports venue.

    Now it's not exactly a great atmosphere for sports, but its definitely not a dump.

    Wrigley Field is a DUMP... the EJD is not.

  3. I don't know if this would be considered an unpopular opinion or not, but I've always felt that the "dragon medallion" logo used for the Mortal Kombat video game series would have made a really cool sports logo, such as for a NFL franchise called the "Dragons" or something.

    NEVER THOUGHT ABOUT IT BEFORE BUT I AGREE COMPLETELY!

    Personal connection/connection: To be truthful, when this Bills secondary logo leaked on this CCSLC msg board ~8 years ago, I immediately emailed the DJs at WGR550 AM.

    Within hours, the "rumored" new logo was all over the wgr550.com and articles abuzz in the Buffalo News.

    Instant and harsh backlash for the original "buffaslug" and the patch was ditched, but too late for the unis. The charging bison head is the only part of the nouveaux Bills' logo package that uses the "Buffalo Nickel" Pantone color. With this logo the Bills had a "reason" to justify the unnecessary "Nickel" stripes in the new pants and helmet stripe.

    Yes, the logo is nice... the unis are a trainwreck.

    Funny story how the CCSLC leaked and caused so much backlash a decent logo was ditched, thus rendering a new uni package worse for the wear. Sad? No.
