Sure the Broncos looked kinda silly but their new stuff looks worse to me, creamsicles has a lot of haters but damned if I don't prefer that to now or the pewter ones. Philly needs to go back to kelly green like right the gently caress now. Agreed. The blue and yellow Rams and powder blue Chargers unis are the best unused Unis in the league.

It is amazingly stupid.

Creamsicle Tampa loving owned, I think most negative associations with that scheme come from that team being so godawful while playing in those unis. Totally agree with Philly and kelly green and LA and blue and yellow. I think the current Seahawks uniforms are supposed to be kinda ugly and loud, it was an attempt to jar loose their status as the most anonymous NFL team. God, those mid 2000s all blues were ugly. Wish they would throwback to the older uniforms sometime, it's a cool design that is nicely tied into the native art the helmet was based off of. Unfortunately, it wouldn't work with the NFL's one-helmet rule. e. actual news: did we know that Mark Davis owns a possible stadium site north of San Antonio? http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/eye-on-football/25450564/report-raiders-have-secured-land-near-san-antonio-for-possible-move shirts and skins fucked around with this message at 14:08 on Jan 16, 2016 |

I like the white helmets more. I think the current iteration of the Buffalo uniform is the best (when they're not going blue-on-blue or color rush, anyway).

The rest of the uni is the best it's ever been, especially the current home uni which is one of the best unis ever, period, but the red helmets were just a cool unique thing. Especially since 2 our of 3 of the other teams in the division wear white ones too.

Hmm, and he has some billionaire backers too, so that would relieve a lot of the stress of moving fees and the like. I think the most likely scenario is that they stay in Oakland for 2016, assess the situation in LA, and make preliminary deals with San Antonio if dealing with the Rams is too onerous.

Not to mention, if the Raiders move to San Antonio quickly, they have the Alamodome just waiting while their main stadium gets built. And the Alamodome is better than a lot of teams' home stadiums. Plus, that land is like, equidistant between San Antonio and Austin. So doubling up on home markets.

I mean yes, it's not there yet but the NFL has been pretty serious about concussions in the past few years. The fact that players are actually forced to miss games to recover from concussions even if they think they are ready is a huge step in the right direction. Antonio Brown missing a playoff game because of concussions should tell you they are taking this a lot more seriously.

My still existing Orange County friend count has 1 Rams fan since forever and 1 Chargers fan (who switched to SD 20+ years ago after being a Houston Oilers fan and barfing in his mouth at the thought of ever supporting the Titans - like the other Houston fan in this thread)

I was guessing you guys all really just miss the Oilers though, and only tolerate the replacement Houston Texans because you really couldn't tolerate supporting the Cowboys.

Yeah those of us who were around and old enough to appreciate the Oilers would probably prefer just never having lost them, of course. But it's not like we're "settling" for the Texans (any more than any fan does for their team). And supporting the Cowboys has never been an option for any Houstonian.

I'm old enough to remember the Oilers and the assholery of Bud Adams, but I wasn't invested enough in football at the time to follow them to Tennessee or switch to the Cowboys. Now that Bud is dead (and the Titans haven't really had our number anyway) no one really seems to hate the Titans. The Texans are our team, and another vehicle for our Dallas rivalry.
