Thanks @Htown1141, you have beautifully portrayed the twisted minds of the “Bring Back the Oilers” crowd. P.S.

the admiral 28,190 Posted March 27, 2018 At this point, bring it on; the Texans refuse to get their combos right and in some cases (Battle Red) get it beyond wrong. The Oilers set is a little more idiot-proofed. I'm working on a concept where the league makes the Oilers stay and Nashville gets the expansion team. Yeah, it's a Titans/Predators/Bobcats amalgamation, but it looks really good to me! 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BrandMooreArt 3,766 Posted March 27, 2018 hope this isnt the case. im sure on its own it would look nice, but very Texans like as well, assuming nothing else changes. i just dont understand them pushing the identity to a more generic look. or at the very least a very Texans-esque look. and if it is the case, i would hope navy becomes their Color Rush jersey and the primary is Columbia Blue (do they still call it that?). that would be a decent compromise if they’re able to push that unique, signature color via the jersey 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ashes of Astroworld 352 Posted March 27, 2018 If the Titans end up looking like us, I gonna yell and scream until the Texans go Battle Red full time. But since McNair's a idiot these days, I wouldn't hold my breath on us switching colors. 1 minute ago, AgentColon2 said: Red face masks or GTFO This.

Gr3g3 479 Posted March 27, 2018 13 hours ago, C-Squared said: I'm in the minority, but this has major potential. They could go the Bills route and blend the border into the helmet - on a navy backdrop, they could drop the white border altogether and give the flames some air: Of course, they'll probably go the Lions route and add several borders around the logo for no reason whatsoever. Honestly, it looks a little naked to me. But I think I woud prefer it to havin a white keyline, which would look really bad. Either way, if they go the traditional route of having the primary logo on the helmet, I do not think going navy blue will end well. Also I can't believe they didn't take this opportunity to update the flaming thumbtack logo. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It’s a massive pain to have to check both threads about the exact same thing and the old thread is already a solid database of collected info about this unveiling. Discussing the helmet in the old thread is about as on-topic as it gets. This thread needs to end here. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The House of the Gray Mask will never die! youll NEVER have to make that choice though, so it’s moot. In this case, gray or silver would probably look good and separate from the Texans a bit. Red might not work as well. Now to post this exact same thing in the other thread in case we’re discussing it there too. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tigerslionspistonshabs 1,623 Posted March 27, 2018 Helmet opinion withstanding until I see it, I'm glad the Titans aren't going with a complete re-brand here. They have a solid identity, it's just utilized very poorly. Hopefully this change is good. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm not a huge fan of the flaming thumb tack but im okay that its staying. However, my biggest issue with the Titans' look is that it is dull, mainly due to the heavy use of navy blue. By switching to a navy blue helmet and (seemingly) downgrading usage of the light blue, the look will most likely be even duller IMO. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm one of those super weird guys who wants that look for the Titans. The Texans have a solid albeit unremarkable look as-is, and the columbia blue color has been the one constant through Oilers/Titans franchise history. That said, if the Texans were to bring back that look, I'd be totally on board with it. (Not going to happen, I know...) The Texans name would resonate with younger fans, while the gorgeous color scheme would likely resonate with both young and old alike. Anything to get that color scheme back in the world of pro sports (Sacramento Kings, are you listening?)... 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
