Agreed. Does anyone know if/when these uniforms are going to be offered for sale/auction?

I bet if & when that TO hits the market it will fetch a pretty penny. His first Buffalo Jills Gamer with the patch. That's definitely a 1 of a kind.

I really dig the style on the Oilers/Titans lids too. Even the coaches shirts look nice.

Yeah great job on the Uni's and having the helmets and coaches gear match. Who else are getting these kinds of throwbacks?

On a side note, I just saw a hideous pass picked off and taken to the house. Reggie Corner (A CB no less) Mortenson's kid tossed it and his dad's facial expression was priceless.

Buffalo wears those uniforms yearly as an alternate, I don't know if the Titans are doing the same with there throwbacks. They were wearing those helmets once in mini camp this year.

Yeah, I was PSYCHED to see some football on TV finally (given as a Mets fan, baseball is OVER for me). You're correct, this is the 50th Anniversary of the original 8 AFL teams. The first Monday night game of the season will be a double header featuring 4 of the original 8 teams, all wearing throwbacks (Bills v Pats, 7pm; Oakland v Raiders 10:15pm). Also, to confuse things more, on 9/27, the Jets will be playing the Titans. The Titans will be wearing the throwbacks that they wore last night against the Bills, and the Jets will be wearing the Titans throwbacks. So, instead of the Jets vs the Titans, we really have the Titans vs the Oilers!!!!

I was disappointed that the Bills didn't wear the uniforms they wore in the inaugural 1960 season. Their uniforms originally looked similar to the Detroit Lions. Check it out at this link http://www.weirdwolf.net/FFP/1960s/1960.htm

The Titans got it right with the 1960 Oilers' uniforms.

Correct me if I'm wrong but when the Jets/Titans Franchise they were the New York Jets, why are the Jets sticking with that dumb Titans throwback, despite that the colors are decent, when they could go to that original Jets uniform with that plane logo for the anniversary?

While I am fond of the 1963 Jets plane logo and think it would make for a fun throwback I do take exception to anyone calling the Titans duds dumb. Nothing about the NY Titans was or is dumb. The throwbacks represent the original NY Titans AFL franchise, a franchise that was the cornerstone of the new league. Those players, coaches, and staff who perservered through trials and tribulations (and there were MANY) deserve to be recognized for their sacrifices and roles in making the NFL what it is today.
