Webfooter Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 The dark gray with navy has the same problem the Eagles' set does: it doesn't provide for much contrast and they sort of blend together. It also throws in an extraneous color when having the two blues, red, and white feels more than adequate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YelichGraphics Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 17 hours ago, DC in Da House w/o a Doubt said: I'm struggling to think of a time in recent history where an NFL team has had a drastic change in their color scheme. Shades will change here and there but for the most part the team colors stay true. I think there's something to be said for that. Compare that to the NBA where you could see a team go through 10 colors in 8 years. Overall, I hope the Titans don't do anything too crazy. The only teams i recall with crazy color scheme changes are teams in the NHL such as the sabres or in the NBA when Vancouver moved to Memphis.

And not to be redundant...McCarthy you do great work (I wasn't trying to be flippant or anything)...just that one color made me say "ugh" Here's why I used it: Trying to incorporate that dark gray metal color into the uniforms so they're more interesting than just navy blue and light blue, which is a less out-there color scheme now than it was in 1999. Also trying to avoid using yet another white or dark blue helmet and the light blue helmets didn't fit with the direction I was trying to go. Nobody in the NFL uses a dark gray lid. I see the Eagles comparison which is why I stayed away from mashing the gray into the numbers or logos. My approach was to use it in the uniforms similar to how the Bucs use pewter. I don't need heavy contrast with my yokes or pants stripes. I just want it present. Sorry about highjacking the thread with my concept. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dark gray is rare in the NFL, and could be a great addition to a color scheme if applied right. I've said before that the Panthers would look great if they switch their silver for dark gray.

Gr3g3 Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 Sounds like someone else has backed up the OP on the Titans reddit. Said he sent the details to a friend who works for the Titans and received an "It's true" repsonse. Seems strange for 2 people to back this up if it didn't have any merit, but then again it is the internet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She was quoted as saying the changes are "not minor" Let’s not misconstrue it. She inferred that the design changes are “not minor,” but also that “it’s not a total color change or anything like that.” Red and silver would certainly be a total color change, considering their current palette of double blues, white, and very minimal doses of red. https://www.paulkuharsky.com/news/titans-uniform-alterations-for-2018-are-complete-amy-adams-strunk-it-s-not-minor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, red and silver are in their color palette now, so it's not a complete change at all - if it's true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You got me with those tiny red stars on the helmet. Transitioning from this: To something vaguely like these (as far as color balance of Reddit rumor of red and silver (+ powder blue of course), does not qualify as a “complete change?” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
