re: Oilers uniforms are back

I'm no Texan or Titans fan but this is dumb. This is nothing more than an FU to the city of Houston from the Titans ownership.


Those uniforms look sick though.

But they could have let Houston have the colors and even the name.

The Texans had spent god knows how much money on Texans branding for 10+ years while Bud was still alive. Do they even want to pay for the Oilers brand from the Adams family now? Have they even asked for it?

I think Amy Adams Shrunk or whatever is probably a huge bitch, but the whole Oilers thing isn't on them.

quote:

---

The Titans are the Oilers and the Texans are the Texans. Sorry Houston.

Well the Ravens are the Browns and the Browns are the Browns again. Oilers belong in Houston.

I wasn’t much of an oilers fan but the white Jersey on powder blue pants, with the iconic derrick logo might be the GOAT uni.

So much better than that bland Texans garbage. Such a boring organization. I do feel bad for native Houstonians that the Oilers left.

I was never an Oilers fan and I'm also still mad about it.

I'm still mad about the Jazz name going to Utah. It's still ridiculous and always will be.

The NFL should force the Titans to give up their claims to the Houston Oiler's history and let Houston rebrand as the Oilers.

This whole Houston thing has been a disaster for sports fans. Everyone that's not a Titan fan wants the oilers colors and logo back to Houston, but the bigger screw up is letting the Houston franchise name themselves "Texans", thus limiting their potential out of state fanbase because nobody is going to side cheer for a team named after the worst drivers in this country.

Look no one knows more about this situation on this board than I do that is fact

the reason that the Oilers left town with the logo and the colors is not Adam's fault but is Bob Lanier's fault Bud Adams was willing to put his own money into a new NFL stadium not many NFL owners are willing to do that but Lanier who had a massive ego made a crack about the Oilers not deserving the stadium after the loss to Kansas City doubled down on it he and Bud Adams had never gotten along that town was not big enough for their egos and Oilers left town to Nashville not the city that they would have wanted to relocate. certainly as you were looking at relocation earlier Jacksonville Carolina other places had been mentioned that could have done a better job of sustaining the team

but Adams was pissed at Lanier no one in Harris County was willing to stick their neck out at the time because the Astros dominated the city's political landscape and the Astros were looking for a new stadium it is what it is I love the Oilers when I lost my football team i've never really had much of an interest in the NFL sense but it's not but Adam's fault or Amy's fault it's bob laniers fault

frick Bob Lanier


And after that it's mcnair's family that has been another part of the problem the Adams family was never gonna sell the rights but the Mcnair family are just a fricking bunch of fricking idiots

That entire organization is just retarded top to bottom

I worked with the Harris County Sports Authority for years I had dealings with the Astros Texans Rockets Dynamo Rice uh the NCAA bringing the Final Four and national championship game I've dealt with the World Cup people FIFA ( CORRUPT as F) without a doubt people with the Texans organization were the most afraid of angering the owners' people , good people but fearful of not protected the boss' financial interest above all else
