They'll wish they wore their brown pants.

I'm sure they are thinking back to the times they beat us in those old uniforms.

They need to go back to this color scheme permanently. I hate the Jerry Glanville black.

Bucs need to go back to the Bucco Bruce creamsicles, too

And don’t get me started on the Patriots.

What are you kids doing on my lawn?

Don't even get me started on the Broncos! Miss the big D helmet! And the Luv Ya Blue Oilers? I don't care that they moved to Tennessee! Titans Schmitans! Bring back Luv Ya Blue!

The original Falcon red helmet and logo should not have been touched. The new "italicized" falcon is okay, but it lost the Native American feel that made the original great. For some reason the masses want their team to go to black helmets. We've seen it here. The Falcons also lost the color tie-in with the Georgia Bulldogs.

Those should look pretty cool bouncing across the field

It's going to a closer game than some think. These Saints/Falcons matchups are always tough to call. We have had years where they looked down and beaten and come out kick out butts and years where we look bad at the time of the matchup and destroy them.

I think it hinges on both QB's and how they deal with the opposing defensive pressures. Are we going to see the Kirk Cousins that demanded big paydays or are we getting Kirk Cousins of the latter Viking days. I haven't watched enough of Carr but I know he has his issues as well of being a bit hot and cold. It will be a good game. I think we pull it out by 3 points another barn burner. Even though I said it is too close to call I give the Saints the 3 just because I do think they are the better team.

The ONNLY thing "close" about this game I the one hour flight~! The SAINTS will maul the dirty birds by making pate' out of their falcon gizzards and livers~!

Clearly someone in that organization is superstitious because that's the exact same uniform they wore last season when they beat us in Atlanta.

Like last season...wore same uniform when they beat us in Atlanta last season.

Titans Schmitans!

What's crazy about this is that the TEN franchise owns the right to those unis and trademarks but they will never wear the old Oiler Blue Colors.

Former Oilers team owner Bud Adams uprooted the franchise and relocated to TEN in 1997 when Houston denied building a new stadium. 27 Years Ago!

The franchise dropped the Oilers team name and began anew as the Titans in 1999. 25 Years Ago!

The right thing to do would be for the league to have both teams make a deal for the colors to revert back to Houston where they belong. Offer TEN a few bucks.

The Texans could then wear those colors once a year in honor of the prior Houston franchise, if not in a regular season game, in a pre-season game.

The only fan base that has any emotional attachment to those colors are people that live in and around Houston. Most of those folks who might care are now old.

My .02!

That seems reasonable. I wouldn't mind seeing the old Houston Oilers uniform again, I liked it. I don't have any personal attachment to it, I just like it.

You may be right that most of the people who might care are now old, but so what? I am old and I care. Shouldn't make it any less relevant IMHO.

I think the Titans busted out the Oilers throwbacks in a pre season game this year.

Meanwhile, Bud Adams' heirs threaten to sue the Houston Cougars for wearing the same blue and red colors.
