Time to take University of Houston to Court…

I guess I just realized how mediocre our logo, team name, fan buy in was after going to the oilers throwback game and seeing how awesome it was. 

Week 15? If so that wasn't the perfect game to judge things on. It was coming off that crazy win and we were facing the Texans wearing them after the mini controversy started. It was always going to be more pumped than your normal experience.

 

Switching to the old uniforms wouldn't make some crazy change like that on its own.

The irony is that the Houston colors are scarlet red and albino white.....   But make no mistake the Oilers classic uniforms should be put back into as the team's base.  Brand it back to the

If the City of Houston loves the old uniforms so much….it seems to me they probably should have made a bit more of an effort to keep the Oilers 30 years ago.

It’s not just that. So many people were wearing oilers gear. Like way more than you usually see wearing titans gear. I finally understood the luv ya blue mentality.  
 

It was one of the coolest games I’ve ever been to and it was a shit game.

The logo and unis both need major improvement.  If we weren’t fans of this team, we’d say the Titans were one of the worst ones. It’s just not that appealing for many reasons.

Too many teams have the navy/dark blue base.  I also don't care for the switch to the dark helmet either.  They had an opportunity IMO to go with a Chrome helmet that would have worked with their colors in the last re-do.

 

That all said, the classic Oiler uniform just makes anything the Titans have done look to be USFL/Arena league caliber.

Oilers gear is unmistakeable for anything else, unlike both current Titans, Texans uniforms.  When you see it a mile away, you know it.  For whatever reason in the human mind, those colors together just work—this is the reason they want them back when those colors were put on display for everybody to see again.   It was a beautiful day when Levis torched the Falcons and DHop was wearing the colors.

 

There has to be a plan for the new stadium.  I would accept the uniforms with a different logo, but prefer the throwbacks straight up.  Bud would have already done it as soon as there was any fervor from Houston to get them back, and he would have changed the logo to a middle finger.  Amy’s more professional but she’s still her Daddy’s daughter, and the new stadium is the perfect time for a change.

All 3 are better than the current ones in their choices.  Seattle's throwbacks look way better than the current ones.  Same for Philly.

Seattle should just ditch the new unis.  The throwback ones has this unique shade of blue that isn't really seen on any other NFL team.  Also blows the current Hawks uni out of the water.

OIlers unis have to be a nostalgia thing. Outside of this message board and old Houston fans, I don't know anyone who looks at the Oilers uniforms and thinks, "damn that's slick looking."

 

The Oilers name and logo are also boring as hell. I said what I said. Titans > Oilers. Two-tone blue > classics. Titans logo...eh.

Agreed.
