If you can remember back that far, the Houston Oilers were the toast of the early years of the American Football League winning the first two championships (1960-61). Their distinctive helmets can be seen at a new exhibit of original AFL team helmets opening this summer at Arrowhead Stadium's Hall of Honor.
On display:
1960: The first AFL champs featured baby blue helmets with a white derrick with large white numbers and a white stripe.

1964: The helmet color changed to a darker blue with white derrick and red and white striping. The Titans returned to this look in 1972.

1966: As the team prepared to move to the Astrodome, ownership wanted a more "space-aged" color and therefore the helmet color became metallic and included some multi-coloring striping.
