What I can't understand is why the league put in New restrictions on alternate helmets, jerseys, etc before the past season or 2. Seems like Goddell would totally be on board as its another merchandise $$$ grab for sure.
I don't like it because our franchise is a perfect example of being locked in. Before they could try an 1-off New design. There's no way we'd do it now, since it means sticking with it for the entire 16.
Technically, you can wear throwbacks, but we don't really have any. Not that it's a loss, but not even the Texans are " throwbacks " - that was just for the AFL anniversary season. Just like the Titans and Ravens are wearing " throwbacks " and rocking out onto the field in Oilers or Browns unis.
Other than VERY little changes to trim, piping, and maybe font for letters and numbers- we have got squat in terms of a revamped look.
Can you believe Lamar wanted our
original colors to be that
Powder Blue that the Oilers had and
Orange like Denver. Houston submitted their color scheme 1st to the league, and we switched to
Red and Gold.
Ironically, we've yet to actually wear
Gold, just Yellow for some bizarre reason.
Biggest shocker- Donkeys was one of the final 3 mascots Chief's was selected from.
