Why would Tennessee ever not wear the old Oilers helmets/uni's?
Again....All Time classic. Why are owners so stupid? "Hey...these uniforms are one of the best ever, but we've worn them for like 30 years so might as well change to something else no matter how dumb it looks"

Steelers, Raiders and Packers were always smart enough to not screw around with perfection

I mean at this point, they will probably have at least 5 losses by seasons end and maybe even more. This is a huge break for Dallas when it comes to chasing the #1 seed.
Unfortunately someone other than Dallas has to step up and beat the Eagles. Can't hope we go 15-2 and win a tie breaker by sweeping them.

NFC Standings
PHL 6-1
DAL, SEA, DET all 5-2 (Lions host the Raiders Monday night)
SF 5-3

In the AFC, four teams tied for the top spot at 6-2:
Chiefs, Dolphins, Ravens...and the Jaguars!!!

Niners currently have lost the seeding advantage they have over the Cowboys by losing 3 in a row.
That only matters if the cowboys win the division though.
Cowboys hold the top wildcard spot being 5-2 and Forty-niners being 5-3.
Not winning the division doesn't affect the Cowboys being a higher seed than the 49ers if they have a better record at season's end - unless SF wins their division.

I can at least understand it with the Titans since they moved to a new city. Should have just come up with a similar tall person logo and kept the uni combo. But I didn't hate their unis when they changed to the Titans at first.

All the uni changes we've seen from say Denver, Tampa Bay, Eagles, were downgrades. The Redacted Skins old unis were among the best ever too.

Cowboys probably have the fewest uni changes since the dark blue unis in the 80s. It was a lighter blue before that.

I must say though, I like our blue jerseys

Agree to all....but they should just made themselves the Tennessee oilers. THERE'S OIL EVERYWHERE! Those were awesome!

I wished the Bucs still wore the Creamsicle....but that's the one change where I have to question myself whether it's just nostalgia making me think that, because aesthetically we all must admit their new unis are more "footbally" than the flamboyant guy on the orangish-pinkish and white unis. Like if we never saw either uniform....and had to pick one for our team, we'd all chose the current uni.

Still love the creamers though!

I've been watching college football for six decades.
This is the first time I've heard of the Shepherd Rams - the team the Bears QB played for.

Eagles could very well lose 3 in a row coming up. Maybe 4.
The damage will have to be done to them in the next seven weeks as they finish the season with the last three games against teams vying for a very early first round draft choice. The Giants and Cardinals will have no intention of winning games vs. the Eagles.

Their original change to the red orange and white scheme wasn't that bad either. The newer ones since then have become like ones on create a team from an old Madden game or something.
