TFoA Posted April 15, 2009 Share Posted April 15, 2009 Titans: Throwback Jersey Unveiled on First Day of CaravanNot only do these jerseys look slick, but so does the Titans' new site.The Texans should be wearing these...not Tennessee.Personally I think its good that NFL teams don't completely forget there heritage when they jump ship to a new location.Exactly. Plus it wouldn't make sense for the Texans to wear it. They may be located where the Oilers used to be, but the Titans ARE the Oilers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Poncho Posted April 15, 2009 Share Posted April 15, 2009 I thought the league was supposed to announce which games were going to feature the "Legacy" AFL uniforms when the schedule came out. So far, nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know that some cities bear grudges against teams that jump ship on them. Does Houston still begrudge the Volunteer state its NFL team? Do Titans fans mind taking back the Oilers identity for one week? 2011/12 WFL Champions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ColeJ Posted April 16, 2009 Share Posted April 16, 2009 i'm not going to continue the mile-long quote fest...but i'll agree with icecap.the oilers are now the titans. just as your ex girlfriend is possibly married to some other guy, and using his last name.doesn't make her any less the person she was. but she's moved on to a new place in her life.

TruColor Posted April 16, 2009 Share Posted April 16, 2009 Those uniforms are GORGEOUS. I'm not super worried about who is wearing them. I'm just happy to see them Too bad that shade of Blue is completely wrong.The older "Columbia Blue" that the Oilers wore up around 1972 or so, was actually referred to as "Silver Blue" and more closely matched THIS color:These throwbacks match this color; which is what they used throughout the rest of the Oilers' history (once they moved to White helmets), and still continue to use today - "Titans Blue": Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SmoothieX Posted April 16, 2009 Share Posted April 16, 2009 What I really like is the font on those numbers. It's not standard block numbers but it's not some of the wacky, harder to read fonts they have now on some teams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DallasSports Posted April 16, 2009 Share Posted April 16, 2009 Anytime Titans and Oilers are mentioned, there's always an arguement about "Houston should care more" or some crap like that.Can't people just get over it? Houston has the Texans now. I'm sure some cities would love to start over... like Detroit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They get to wear the throwbacks/honour the AFL.They did. They were coming off three straight playoff chokes (Denver, Buffalo and KC) and then a 2 win season. The owner demands city pay for a new stadium...the mayor says no...owner finds a sucker somewhere else...team is lame duck for two seasons waiting for lease to run out at the Astrodome so they can legally move....Fans don't show up to games because they don't want to spend hard earned $$$ on a team that has announced it is moving...owner complains about lack of fan support during lame duck season....ESPN shows empty stadium...fans get blamed for not caring....people think the Oilers moved because of lack of fan support. BS. With that said, I'm happy with the Texans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mania Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 The city made the decision having a football team wasn't worth building a new stadium for.A different city disagreed.That's the realities of professional sports. And Houston lost the rights to complain about the Oilers in the process. Off The Top Rope: A Pro Wrestling Podcast Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
