beachperroAZ Posted April 18, 2019 Share Posted April 18, 2019 This is why it was so stupid to switch to navy blue helmets. They should have switched to powder blue helmets or just kept the white ones. 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or they can do the Jets 1994 bit and do a "fauxback" design. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FiddySicks Posted April 18, 2019 Share Posted April 18, 2019 The Titans have a look that’s oddly underrated in just how terrible it is. It’s maybe a quarter step above what Tampa is currently wearing. The last look wasn’t perfect by any stretch, but it’s head and shoulders above their current garbage look. 17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oilers throwbacks definitely shouldn't have been a factor in their uniform decisions. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think it’s oddly underrated, everyone gives it grief, and rightly so. I’d say it’s worse than the bucs if it wasn’t for the number font.

VikWings Posted April 19, 2019 Share Posted April 19, 2019 I hate the one helmet rule more than anybody, but the Titans only have themselves to blame for stupidly switching to a navy helmet. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Brewers have worn Milwaukee Braves throwbacks. The Mariners have worn Seattle Pilots throwbacks. If it can be done in baseball, I don't see why the NFL has to be so different. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just because it HAS happened, doesn’t mean it SHOULD happen 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Akronite- Posted April 19, 2019 Share Posted April 19, 2019 I stand by my belief that a team's identity belongs to a city and its fans more than the franchise itself, even if I know legally/technically speaking that isn't true. BUT I guess they were the Oilers for a season, so maybe somebody cares enough to see them throw back to that. However, there's little significance to the people of Tennessee to see their team in the uniforms of a team from Houston. Sports is so tied to local culture... I'd just rather see the Texans in Oilers throwbacks than the Titans. I know people disagree strongly though. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there THAT big of a movement in Tennessee to wear Oilers stuff? Maybe the Winnipeg Jets can bust out Atlanta Thrashers throwbacks someday, too. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
