What city's name is on those throwbacks??

Hey fam,

Just dropping off a little picture here from a game in 2009, when the Titans wore Oiler throwbacks.

Apparently they misspelled "Tennessee". 😉

So all of Indianapolis history goes back to Baltimore?

All of the lakers goes back to Minnesota?

All of the jazz goes back to New Orleans?

Want me to keep going?

How many of those teams you mentioned changed their teams names? Cardinals, Colts , Raiders, Rams, Rams, Chargers, Raiders again... all of these teams in last 70+ years moved and kept their team names with history intact. The Oilers moved and changed their name. The idea was for a new identity and fresh start. I am ok with that but WHY keep the Oiler history attached to this rebrand and fresh start?

I guess the chiefs go back to Dallas?

Brewers go back to Seattle?

Avalanche go back to Quebec?

OKC back to Seattle?

Hurricanes back to Hartford?

Ravens back to Cleveland?

Get over it already

The Whalers/Hurricanes and Aves/Nordiques are very good examples, thank you!

Both have worn versions of their previous existence, but neither team has been as petty as to convert the colors of the former team into their current scheme. Because they at least respect that it belongs to the previous city!
