CoasterLine Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 Rich Eisen just announced during the Hall of Fame Inductee announcement that the Hall of Fame game will feature the Tennessee Titans vs. the Buffalo Bills.He also announced that the Titans will be wearing 1960's era Oilers throwback jerseys, and the Bills will also be wearing throwback jerseys (most likely the ones we've seen a lot of recently).The game is to commemorate the AFL 50th anniversary, featuring the Oilers and Bills which were some of the original AFL teams.

Firefly Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 No, hearing there is a "Luv Ya Blue" mural at the Titans' stadium is something to get ticked about. This is just throwback merch that will be eaten up by more than a few Houstonians. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dennisbergan Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 Will the game, be broadcast in black-and-white too?I love me some throw-em-back's!!!! I wish every team, in every sport, wore throw-em-backs full-time!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TalktoChuck Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 The good ol' Oilers! Glad to see em' back, at least for one game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sacker12 Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 I'm guessing that this means the return of the silver helmets with the jerseys that have the round gothic numbers on them. That will be a very interesting look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JH42XCC Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 WHAT?! There won't be a NFC team playing against an AFC team in this year's Hall of Fame Game? Usually, it's NFC vs. AFC every year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YELDARBfield Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 WHAT?! There won't be a NFC team playing against an AFC team in this year's Hall of Fame Game? Usually, it's NFC vs. AFC every year.Well, in order to recognize the AFL in this game, an AFC/NFC matchup would be impossible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought you'd be embarrassed into seclusion by now.By the way, the whole "throw-em-back" thing you've been doing for a while, It's not really catching on,so please... just stop it.

mjrbaseball Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 I noticed the schedule has the Jets at Chiefs sometime next season. Could that maybe be a throwback game so we could see Titans vs Texans? (And the same week have Tennessee vs Houston, also Titans vs Texans!)

Top Shelf Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 I noticed the schedule has the Jets at Chiefs sometime next season.Impossible. The AFC East doesn't play all four AFC West teams next season, and since the Chiefs finished last in the West, their East opponent would be the Bills, who finished last in the East.On topic: The Bills being involved makes me extra excited Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jets' AFC West opponent in 2009 is Raiders (in Oakland). Both teams were third in their respective divisions.Bills and Titans do play each other in the regular season, too, in Tennessee.

apeman33 Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 I'm guessing that this means the return of the silver helmets with the jerseys that have the round gothic numbers on them. That will be a very interesting look.The Oilers' original uniforms had blue helmets. It was later in the sixties that they had the silver ones. However, the Bills' original helmets were silver. It would be interesting if the throwbacks were 1960 vs. 1960. Then you'd have:* - Oilers in blue helmets with the derrick (no red outline) and one white stripe with the rounded numbers.* - Bills in silver helmets (did they have numbers on the side?) looking quite a bit like the Lions '30s throwbacks as I don't think there was any red in that set.But I bet it will probably be early 60's Oilers look vs. mid-late 60's Bills look. And that would look mighty good.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kaycigee Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 Rumor has it the Bills will be updating their full-time uniforms in some manner next year because of the 50th anniversary. They could be going old school full time. If anyone hears or sees anything, please post! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
infrared41 Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 This should answer any questions....2009 NFL Hall Of Fame GameThe Oliers old blue helmets. Outstanding. Imagine how ugly this game would be if both teams wore their current sets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
