I wouldn't necessarily call "Titans" generic in this context. Nashville has long been called the "Athens of the South," and has been home to a full-scale replica of the Parthenon since 1897. Plus the alliteration is nice.

 

However, I probably would've been fine with keeping "Oilers."

Ignore my Canadian ignorance, but does Tennessee have a lot of oil?

Yes, I'd say the eye for sure, and the upcurve on the tail and italicizing of the whole form are all what I think are "cookie cutter" aspects.

That just adds flow to the logo instead of just having it end sharply. Adds balance and an end in the visual hierarchy of the logo itself.

I strongly disagree with you, on a technical and objectively visual standpoint. But hey, this is the whole point of this thread.

I'd argue that a big problem with professional sports in general is that all the logos are looking too similar. Well rendered but homogeneous. Sure it could be refined a bit but I love that it looks authentic and not like every other new logo out there.

To be fair, the redesign kept most elements in place. The eye is the only part that is very "cookie cutter" from those "well rendered but homogeneous" logos.

It's based on a traditional Pacific Northwest totem pole motif.

And that's great for a traditional Pacific Northwest totem pole and a team in the 70's, but for a professional football team in 2002/2016, blegh.

Not sure if it's technically "unpopular" or not but I prefer the original Seahawks logo. It has a more authentic, less "corporate sports" feel. 

Absolutely unpopular. 

It looks sad rather than agressive. It's uneven, sloppy. Line work is all over the place. 

Ugh.

I don't follow football much, but most of those pants don't even match the jerseys. Of course that's more to do with fabrics, but you'd think they'd try and match them
