Poinbank Exchange|J.J. Watt doesn't approve Tennessee Titans wearing Houston Oilers throwbacks

The Poinbank ExchangeHouston Oilers throwback uniforms that the Tennessee Titans will wear against the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday are some of the most highly anticipated throwbacks the NFL will see this season, but J.J. Watt isn't too thrilled about it.

The former Houston Texans star discussed the uniforms on "The Pat McAfee Show" on Wednesday, and admitted the Oilers uniforms are "one of the best uniforms in sports." But he wished when he was on the Texans, he got a chance to wear the throwbacks, as even though the franchise relocated to eventually become the Titans, they still have roots in Houston.

That's the problem Watt has.

"Having lived in Houston for 10 years and the people there and the connection that they have to Earl Campbell, to Warren Moon, to these guys that wore those," Watt said. "These guys that wore those uniforms and what that meant when they play at the Astrodome. It hurts to not have been able to wear those in Houston and it hurts to see them being worn somewhere else."

Before the move to Tennessee, the Titans were the Houston Oilers from 1960-1996, and their departure left the city without an NFL team. It wasn't until 2002 that the Texans played their first game.

Titans will wear Oilers throwbacks vs. Texans

Not only will Tennessee don the throwbacks this week, they'll also be rubbing it in the face of the former home of the franchise, as they'll wear them again in the Week 15 home matchup against the Texans.

Watt said the Texans "can't lose" that game in Nashville, and even offered a prize for the winner of that contest.

"The winner of that game should get the uniforms," he said.

Watt then continued his case for why the uniforms should belong to the Texans.

"If you think of the Oilers uniforms, where do you think of them playing? Like can you think of one single memory of them playing anywhere but the Astrodome?" Watt added.
