Throwback Jersey Unveiled on First Day of Caravan

[Jones31]

Kyle Vanden Bosch unveiled the team’s throwback Houston Oilers jersey during the team’s first day of Titans Caravan XII on Monday.

The Titans will wear the jersey, modeled after the 1960 Oilers, three times during the 2009 season, which celebrates the 50-year anniversary of the American Football League co-founded by Titans owner K.S. "Bud" Adams, Jr.

The jersey, which features the traditional Oilers Columbia blue with a red outline over the white name and numbers, will first be worn at the Hall of Fame Game vs. Buffalo Aug. 9 in Canton, Ohio. The AFL’s 50-year anniversary logo is also featured on the front of the jersey.

Ugh... :huh

They look so dorky. But a lot of the throwback uniforms look pretty ugly compared to 21st century uniforms.

I am hoping this is a one year deal.

KVB is looking chiseled. I think he is ready to play.

[shadowboxin']

Wow... really? Nobody likes the Oiler Blues?

One of the best throwbacks out there IMO.

[Comar]

I like them too. Especially the helmet! And I am far from an Oiler fan.

[TNTitan]

cool!

[TitansFan23]

I wonder if they'll wear the Red throwbacks.

[Serge]

SWEET!!!!! I love those old uniforms!!

What's the matter with you "ewwwww" people? :crazy

[PBV]

I love the numbering font on the jerseys. Looks old school hand painted. I'm very excited.

[StephenIsLEGEND]

I kind of dig it. It reminds me of North Carolina. Plus, it shows "Hey, we might be wearing columbia blue, but we're going to kick your ass!"

Plus, the Oiler helmet is awesome. Maybe LenDale will pay homage to Earl Campbell and Eddie George by running over some people that day. Ic an't wait to see CJ in the uni.

Of course their not going to look as stylish as the 21st century uniforms. They are throwbacks. It's kind of like when you dress up in a 1970 plaid leisure suit for halloween. It's fun for the night but you wouldn't wear it to work the next day... or at least most of us wouldn't. There's always one guy in every office.

I really like the helmet

[Sect309Fan]

There are just other Oilers uniforms that I like, especially the ones we used as the TN Oilers in 1997 and 1998. I like the white helmet better.

Yeah, but I wouldn't call those "throwbacks". They'd be more like a "pitchback". :D

Are these the ones you're talking about? They are pretty cool too.

Get ready for the Houston fans to burn every Titans board at their sight.

Ugh.... I had that same jersey. Lost it. It was an authentic too!

[gnarl]

i understand its throwback
but i wish they could have really used the more modern oilers jerseys if theyre going to wear anything oiler related

[Aaron3322]

I really like it. Its simple and i love the helmet. I was kinda nervous of them bringing this up this year in that i wasnt going to like it. I definitely dont mind it!
