They were the Tennessee Oilers for 5 mins before becoming the Titans.
It's pretty cringe to see Tennessee have the rights to the Oilers or wearing the uniforms of Houston's team. It would be like if the OKC Thunder wore Supersonic throwbacks.

Not really.
It is the same franchise. They are displaying their history.
I do wish the NFL could have worked out a deal where the Titans were treated as an expansion franchise and the Oilers colors stayed in Houston but they didn't.
Texans is not nearly as good.
