They’ve been wearing the light blue jerseys three games every year since 2019. That part is disappointing. Light blue over navy was their best look with the current mess of a uniform set. I’d actually say navy jerseys and socks with light blue pants work better for their current set. Of course, all of it pales in comparison to this. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bowld Posted July 24, 2023 Share Posted July 24, 2023 Jets NEED to bring this helmet back full time or at least slap this decal on the current ones. Just look at how much better it looks than the current generic font does 18 2 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spartacat_12 Posted July 24, 2023 Share Posted July 24, 2023 It's funny that Rodgers is basically wearing a Packers jersey with the fill tool clicked a couple of times. 2 hours ago, IceCap said: 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. I'd rather see Tennessee stay the Titans and have Houston go back to being the Oilers. Titans is a great sports name in general, you've got the alliteration which always is a plus, and it ties into the whole "Athens of the South" nickname. It feels like a much more established brand than the Texans, and the Oilers name works better in Houston. 10 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The team never had that name in the first place. Anyway, Tennessee Titans remain, but adopt the Oilers cosmetic identity. Trash the Greek theme. Go full on Industrialist Titan. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Jets were a WAH team for several seasons in the era in which these were worn, so it makes sense. 5 "The views expressed here are mine and do not reflect the official opinion of my employer or the organization through which the Internet was accessed."

Do we really need to get bogged down by semantics? Houston's NFL team is currently called the Texans, and their NFL team was previously called the Oilers. Whether or not these were the same team doesn't matter, much like how it didn't matter that the Charlotte Bobcats never technically had the name Hornets before they changed it. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shhhh you’ll awaken the “Utah should be [redacted]” crowd Do we really need to get bogged down by the Oilers in Houston broken record? It’s not happening. Tennessee and the Adams family clearly choose to keep the name and history to themselves. End of story. Fin. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will be impossible to tell who is playing immediately in any game. Every team should have at MOST 3 uniforms, all of which being recolors of each other.

The Seahawks might've been the worst team in the 90s decade. Rock, paper, scissors between them, the Cards and Bengals. I would actually say the Seahawks were just painfully mediocre in that decade. They had an overall record of 70-90 in the 90s. They were 2-14 in 1992 but hovered around or hit the .500 mark for the rest of the decade. It was not the best decade to be a Seahawks fan but I'd say we probably didn't have it too bad. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
