@XanderMXIX @ZachCohenFB Im going to be in the minority here but if they had a normal helmet, these jags uniforms wouldn't be terrible. Much better than the boring practice jerseys they use today for their uniforms

When Nike took over from Reebok as the NFL’s exclusive on-field uniform provider, they wanted to unveil at least one team’s new closet each season with a specific stamp of Nike designs
They started with the Seahawks in 2012 to go along with the leaguewide rollout, then went:
2013: Jaguars
2014: Bucs
2015: Browns
For as divisive as Seattle’s new uniforms were, winning does solve everything!
Zach Cohen@ZachCohenFB
I don’t even think it’s possible to rank these disasters lmao
English
@ZachCohenFB But they could also keep eveything the same but change the facemask, yes? Like let's say the titans come to their senses and switch to a Titans blue (or red) facemask , that would be allowed yes?
English
@cericwright Typically, the league has been lenient on facemasks and pants, yes. If a team wanted to unveil an alternate uniform for the following season, hypothetically they could deem it as their primary uniform after they’ve worn it for a season
English
A deeper dive into the Titans new uniforms and why I think they struck gold with some of the details
Consider me a fan of the 6-String Stripe 🔥

FINALLY… the new Tennessee Titans uniforms! Initial Verdict: Best Titans uniforms in team history, best primary uniforms in the AFC South Pros: - Elite color scheme, that Titans Blue (Coast) is really sharp - The guitar-stripes design on the helmets & shoulders is unique & good-looking - Especially love it on the pants strip - Block font wasn’t a must, but always looks good - Wordmark font looks good, too - Logo looks nice on helmet - Like the balance of red Cons: - White facemask, wish it was red or even Titans Blue - Wish the helmet stripe was a bit thinner, not a negative tho
English
@XanderMXIX @ZachCohenFB They missed so many opportunities to incorporate it just a little more
English
@cericwright @ZachCohenFB Navy with Reed outline on numbers would be nice
English
Building on this, since I’ve seen lots of debate between Tennessee v. Titans…
I’m fine with either or, but I feel like connecting to the city as opposed to the actual name tends to resonate more with the people who live there, especially those who aren’t diehard fans
Ex: I feel like most Tennesseans would rather have uniforms and merchandise that represents the state they live in rather than a Titan, just my opinion tho
Zach Cohen@ZachCohenFB
I get that some people are upset with no connection to Titans mythology — definitely some untapped potential there But it’s been clear the team would prefer to finally embrace its Tennessee roots, and I think they did a good job of doing that *so far* Just wait until that navy Rivalries uniform drops… 👀
English
@XanderMXIX @ZachCohenFB Thank-you for fixing the logo. Now if only we could have gotten a custom number font either that of the word mark or going back to the 1999-2017 number font would have been a nice way to combine the two eras (and maybe a navy outline on the numerals as well to go with the red)
English
@ZachCohenFB Only thing that bothers me is there’s is no navy in logo but in uniform. Why they didn’t do this I’m not sure. I hate when teams add colors not in logo like the cardinals having silver.
English
@1kingethan @XanderMXIX @ZachCohenFB But there wasn't balance. There was 0 balance. So many missed opportunities to marry the 2 eras.
English
@XanderMXIX @ZachCohenFB I think it’s because we are moving away from our Navy identity but not completely erasing the history of the teams era as the navy based Titans. I think it was Amy balancing that line while making a complete overhaul. I appreciate the details.
English
@sir_roger1 @Romellz_ Jags throwbacks are easily a distant 2nd tho
English
Time to settle the debate who has the best Uniforms in the AFC South? 🤷🏾♂️
English
@Romellz_ @TitansRossi Is there really a debate tho? Before Thursday yes. Now, case closed. Slammed shut. No more debate. Clear undisputed champion.
English
@MikeHerndonSk1 Why do you say that? I get not doing red, they already look too much like the Oilers, but why not a Titans blue facemask? That would have been truly unique
English
@2ToneBlueBlood @RobertJudin As a longtime fan living in NJ, i strongly believe they did a disservice to all their fans by not at least livestreaming the event. I get having the in person event be an intimate affair specifically for season ticket holders but let us all at least be able to watch it
English
@RobertJudin Great post. Curious your thoughts on having a small intimate reveal vs letting any fans come that wanted to. It could have been a huge moment to have the reveal downtown on Broadway like 2018. But excluding most fans and not even streaming the event feels like a huge miss.
English
So, in my Sports Branding class at UF, I teach about franchise rebrands, brand refreshes, and the processes that go into developing new visual brand identities.
What the @Titans rolled out this past week is "teach tape" for how to properly execute a brand refresh. (1/4)
Tennessee Titans@Titans
A New Chapter

If these end up as the real deal, they are the best uniforms the Titans have ever had. I know they will make the anti-Oilers Titan fan contingent mad, but it's their best look and color option. Helmet needs a red mask and pants need stripes. Now we wait for the official reveal.
David P. Woods@davidpwoods
And here is the full thing. New Titans uniforms. Very Oilers-inspired, obviously. I think I miss the red facemasks. But these are a HUGE upgrade over the previous Titans set.
English
@cwcrtr @ZachCohenFB @2ndandVictory @TitansUni I like the old better. Its more vibrant. And im a fan since they were the Oilers
English
A few days ago @ZachCohenFB mentioned that the Titans were using a Nike color called Coast on new merch. I speculated with @2ndandVictory that this would be a lighter shade. Today, tennesseetitans.com was updated, and a newer blue is used throughout the site. @TitansUni
English
@TitansUni @cwcrtr @ZachCohenFB @2ndandVictory Titans Blue was definitely more vibrant than Columbia Blue. This "coast" mumbo jumbo from Nike seems more aligned with the traditional Columbia Blue of the oilers
English
@cwcrtr @ZachCohenFB @2ndandVictory Interesting. It may change in this refresh, but the Titans officially claim that “Titans blue” is the same shade as the Oilers Columbia blue. For me, it feels like they brightened it at some point.
English
@2ToneBlueBlood @ZachCohenFB Im so pissed. Im in the NY/NJ area and am in NYC tomorrow nite for an event and was planning on stealthily watching on my phone. Last unveiling was live streamed. This makes me mad. They could make the event exclusive to season ticket holders and still live stream 4 other fans
English
@ZachCohenFB As a non-Titans fan, does the fact that the event is closed and not even streamed live, annoy you? I'm a Titans fan and it annoys the heck out of me. Why limit your audience and exclude people who would be excited to be there or watch live!?
English
To recap the Titans uniform unveiling on March 12:
- estimated to start at 7:45 PM CST
- there will be no live stream
If you’re there, take all the pics you can… and if you’re not there, stay glued to Titans Twitter lol

Know Before You Go

@ZachCohenFB Do we think the font at the top of the event details is the font that tennessee will be written in on the jersey?
English
All this madness from free agency and I just remembered we get the new jerseys Thursday night.
This week will go down as an all timer for Titans fans when we look back.
Titan tf up man
English
@Titans_Evan23 The top of that jersey is a hot mess. TV numbers on sleeves and top of shoulders AND they dont match the numbers on the jersey because they dont have the outline.
English
I hate it when folks put out stuff like this bc I know the actual uniforms are gonna be 10x worse than this

Welcome to Nashville, Wan’dale #Titans

@TitansUni @ShaunMichaels98 Can @ShaunMichaels98 confirm if the fans will be disappointed or happy? Im very nervous theyre going to be crappy like this version here. We need stripes on the pants and a semi-traditional uniform design. We havent had good uniforms since we were the Oilers
English
PSA: not the design - confirmed from @ShaunMichaels98 who has seen it
The Power Hour@thepowerhour615
These Titans jerseys fake. They are not the real ones. They’re gonna make their rounds on here. DO NOT BUY INTO IT!! That is all.
English
@TitanOilers Make that facemask blue or red and we might have something
