The Oilers are again!

Sorry, Houston. Not your Oilers.

The Tennessee Titans, who felt compelled to rebrand the franchise three seasons after leaving Texas, will put on the old-school Oilers uniforms for 2 dwelling video games this season. The video games might be unveiled later this week.

The Titans really needed to be the Oilers 3 times this season.

“The organization inquired about wearing them for a road game in Miami as well, but it doesn’t appear that will come to fruition,” the article from Jim Wyatt of the workforce’s web site explains.

At a time when of us in Houston might be understandably miffed on the transfer, the Titans have rubbed somewhat salt within the wound, inadvertently or in any other case, with this all-caps assertion on the entrance web page of the workforce’s Internet portal: “COLUMBIA BLUE AND RED HAVE RETURNED TO THEIR RIGHTFUL HOME.”

Houstonians would say their rightful dwelling will not be Nashville. And many non-Houstonians would concur.

Although Houston ultimately bought a workforce to interchange the Oilers, most individuals in Houston and elsewhere determine the Oilers with Houston. Not Tennessee. Team founder Bud Adams might have (and arguably ought to have) continued to name the workforce the Oilers after it moved. After all, there may not be jazz in Utah or 10,000 lakes in L.A., however there’s positively oil in Tennessee. The Titans gave up that identify; the franchise in Houston ought to personal it.

Meanwhile, it is going to be fascinating to see whether or not this week’s announcement might be that the Titans transmogrify into the Oilers for Week 15, when Houston’s present workforce visits.
