Titans to wear Oilers throwback uniforms vs Texans? (Article link)

This IMO would be great as a rivalry situation but at the same time just wrong to throw in our face so to speak.

Oilers legend drops hint that Houston fans won't like

Houston's current NFL team is working through some uniform changes of its own.

Go for it. Nobody in Tennessee has any history with the Oilers. Luv Ya Blue has no inherent emotional value for them. It's just another marketing ploy. To me it just dilutes the identity and brand of the Titans.

Way to dry hump the corpse of a once great franchise, Amy. The only people that ever cared about the Oilers brand lives in Houston and hates your family's greed and duplicity.

I may share this quote on Facebook where this same discussion is taking place.

I can not "like" this post enough. If they do wear the Oiler uniforms, I may just have to skip the ******* game.

Meh, gimmick. Just like when I saw the story a few months ago.

They need something to make themselves feel better and try to troll a rival.

They don't make me mad. I moved on from the Oilers the moment they went to Tennessee... they can keep'em

If history of disappointment and coulda beens and never was is what I wanted to cling to.... I've gotten that since 2002 with my new team. I don't need to cling to the further back in time team.

The Oilers are an ex, trying to make you remember the past and make you jealous.

Not gonna work on me.

Hope my Texans beat the snot out of the Oiler wannabe Titans.

Dont care, people need to let go of the past.

I see the apple doesn't fall far from the tree.

Don’t forget about us born and raised Oiler fans outside of Houston, but well said…sentiments could not have been stated any better.

Make it count. I say we play for pink slips.

…..hell, I’d like to see them play for the rights to the Oilers name and color scheme. Announce that and I bet the game would get some national coverage…..take it a step further and play it in Europe so it’s on a neutral site. That covers neutrality and national coverage all in a tidy little package.

Couldn't care less.
