After being locked away for more than two decades, the Tennessee Titans have officially unveiled their incredible Houston Oilers throwback uniforms for the 2023 campaign.
The team made the easy decision to go with the most iconic version of the uniform which includes the white helmet and red face mask combination, along with the white pants and light blue jerseys.

As you would imagine, seeing these beautiful uniforms for the first time in a modern version has lit the Titans’ fanbase on fire, and even more so for those who willingly made the transition from being Oilers fans to Titans fans following the team’s relocation to Tennessee.

Truthfully, they’re the ones who are often forgotten when it comes to the nonsensical debate surrounding who deserves the rights to the uniform. In reality, those loyal Oilers/Titans fans deserved this uniform unveiling more than anybody.

However, don’t tell that to the franchise’s depressed ex-girlfriend down in Houston. Predictably so, Houston sports fans are in their feelings over the fact that the Titans are celebrating their franchise’s legacy while they’re forced to watch from afar.
Regardless of how loud their sad soliloquies are, the fact is, the rights to the Oilers’ history belongs to the Adams family. And until that changes (don’t hold your breath), it’s a safe bet that Bud Adams’ legacy will reside in Nashville, Tennessee, forever.
Unfortunately, we’ll have to wait a little longer to see them back on the field, but for now, let’s take a closer look at how Titans fans reacted, as well as how the haters reacted. For more photos, check out this article.
