It would depend on the threads. Three threads that could reasonably be one topic could be merged but three random threads of different topics wouldn't be.

Brilliant.

The Chargers had been a navy blue team for most of my life when they started wearing powder blue throwbacks regularly. I didn't throw a fit about them "not looking like the Chargers." What a strange position.

One of these things is not like the other, one of these things doesn't belong!

Nah. The NFL can- and is- selling Houston Oilers gear, because the Titans are wearing the throwbacks. They don't need to give it to the Texans, and the Titans have no incentive to do it without a huge payout

The Titans- and the NFL- have no incentive to do either.

Here's my hot take... Get rid of the Titans. Tennessee Oilers and Houston Texans. "Titans" as a name had potential but between the super "turn of the millennium" first set and the Toronto Argos-lite second set... between their most notable moment being losing the Super Bowl by a yard and getting pantsed by the Brady Pats in the snow, what great legacy do the Titans have? McNair? George? They were Tennessee Oilers too. No, Tennessee Oilers doesn't make a lot of sense but who cares? Neither does Los Angeles Lakers. Bring the Oilers back... in Nashville. Let it be a weird quirky thing, with awesome uniforms.

The NFL's marketing and branding is very centralized and there's no way they let the Texans wear anything that could eat into the Titans' IP and throwback sales. blah blah blah Bengals blah blah blah Browns yeah I get it but 1) those two unis are nothing alike aside from orange helmet shells these days and 2) back when they were similar sports apparel wasn't nearly as huge a market as it is now. Back then who cared if two teams had more or less the same brand? Today though? Huge issue.

gross

The New York Islanders toyed with the name Long Island Ducks. Interesting to think of what would have happened to Disney's team if that name was already spoken for.

Shoe companies will never love you back.

Because Canada is not America.

On one hand I get it because some people put the cart before the horse and that was bound to end in disappointment. But on the other hand... shut up marketing suits and just give the people what they want.
