Yup. 1 hour ago, Nabbs4u said: Like it or not, the Texans have nothing to do with the Oilers. That team , that 36 year history of a Franchise moved to Tennessee.ย Yet that throwback wasn't worn in Tennessee (or worn during that transition season, year 1 in Tennessee). I don't think the Texans should wear it either, for the record (but all signs are pointing to the next Texans uniform looking awfully similar). It's sort of like how the St Louis Rams went with Gold/Metallic Blue hue, then reverted back to the traditional Yellow/Blue look upon returning to Los Angeles: LA Rams: St. Louis Rams: LA Rams v 2: Yes, they're similar - but there's a distinct difference between the two. Maybe St Louis did wear the "original" color scheme for a bit, but we associate much of that history with that 2nd color scheme - as we do with the "thumbtack" Titans blue on blue. I doubt we'll ever see the current Rams in that St Louis scheme (but maybe we will, I don't know). That wouldn't feel right to me either, to be honest. At the end of the day - it's about making money and the Columbia Blue is a big time throwback seller. Amy Strunk is going to make a lot of money off of Derrick Henry Columbia Blues - but it feels a bit disingenuous. Likewise, if the Texans released a CJ Stroud or JJ Watt Columbia Blue, it wouldn't feel right either. Luv Ya Blue died when the Oilers left Houston. The Astrodome is falling apart, and the legends of those teams (Moon, Campbell, etc) are replaced by Tennessee legends (McNair, George, etc). It is what it, but I don't like the feel of it.ย Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just like when the Nationals wore the Expos uniforms...it was weird. Just more awkward, because now there is a team in Houston. I can understand the sentiment towards pops, but at the same it's also a reminder that Adams "took his ball and went home" when he left town, and made sure all of the history/iconography of the Oilers went to Tennessee, even though he had a new team name, and logo.ย That's the one thing Art Modell at least didn't do that was classy.ย Edited October 27, 2023 by TecmoSuperJoe 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jags are middle of the road completion percentage.ย Only given up 10 passing TDs to 9 ints.ย We also have been without our best Interior DL(Hamilton) and he's coming back this week.ย ย ย 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
