    My friend and I were wondering what were the other team nicknames this Organization was going to come up with when we first moved to Nashville?

    If i recall, wasn't we going to be called the Tennessee Torpedos or something like that?

    Also, was it even possible to keep the name Oilers?

    "When the Houston Oilers first moved to Tennessee, a group of fans started a movement to change the team's name to reflect their new home. They even designed a helmet like the one above to represent the new identity, while keeping a link to the past with the oil derrick logo. The actual logo may have been more faint, almost barely visible."

    I heard the Governors was a choice too. Not sure if it was true though.

    Thank goodness they didn't pick any of those other awful names.
