Logo is so dated and really was never good, even from the day it debuted. When the Titans' "five years" are up, which should be soon, scrap it all, start fresh. And eliminate red if you're not going to use it. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually just went back in time to look at the reaction – the emphasis on red was an obviously unfounded rumor. I think the current set has a lot of potential – a lot of good negated by some bad components. It's a good evolution of the old set, which was too aged and wasn't fit for a team named Titans, especially with the logo. The new set transformed the shoulder yoke by utilizing the sword from the logo. However the look is muddled up by so many colors vying for space ( navy primary, columbia secondary, and red and gray as tertiary. I think if columbia was relegated to a stroke color on the navy and white would clean things up and let gray stand out more. Look at the helmet for reference, majority blue, with a good amount of gray and little columbia and red. Cleaning up the uniform – removing the armpit block, changing the pants stripe, and simplifying the numbers – would really hep the overall look. For the presence of red in the look – it's being embraced more and more in accessories, somewhat as a call back to Keith Bulluck's signature red gloves. I think the Titans can really champion the blue/grey, with splashes of columbia and red, look that more accurately fits the Titans moniker.

The sword-yoke can stand out as the feature element of the uniform, and minimize the other components. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PERRIN Posted January 13, 2022 Share Posted January 13, 2022 I put together a light blue helmet look for the Titans a few months ago, I'd be elated if they went with something like what I tried; It keeps the sword theme and shoulder yoke but retains the color blocking of the inaugural set. (Slightly ashamed self-plug) Admittedly, I goofed up on the shade of blue, and I'd prefer a more accurate Columbia blue, but I think it'd be a great starting point. 27 Perrin Grubb | Aspiring Designer | NAFA Project ~ NFL Redesigns Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBTV Posted January 13, 2022 Share Posted January 13, 2022 Works for me. No need for white pants at all with that set. 5 "The views expressed here are mine and do not reflect the official opinion of my employer or the organization through which the Internet was accessed."

The sword-yoke can stand out as the feature element of the uniform, and minimize the other components. This is where I’m at with the Titans’ look—colorwise, there’s too much going on, or at least how it’s presented. Aside from the alternate Luv Ya Blue top and pants, there’s really not enough Columbia Blue in the whole set; this is especially apparent when the Titans go mono Navy or mono White (to me, anyways). I think all the colors in the Titans’ set can coexist, but there would need to be a reshuffling of the order to do that. What I’m thinking is reaching back into franchise history and looking to the late 1960s-early 1970s Houston Oilers look for inspiration. Yes, this would likely mean that navy gets relegated to trim status, but I could see something there. That said, in any case, the Titans need to emphasize the Columbia Blue, be it in the form of primary home tops or primary pants (if the primary home tops were to remain navy).

I came to a similar conclusion for the Titans, as well: (I don’t say that to accuse you of copying at all, @PERRIN, if anything I think your rendering is better than mine. Rather, it’s to show how interesting it is that we both came up with similar and viable solutions to the Titan’s current uniform mess, while still retaining some of the ideas the team employed, but in a more restrained manner). 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The sword-yoke can stand out as the feature element of the uniform, and minimize the other components. The problem is, if they want to do the silver sword motif, they need to eliminate one of their colors, but that would make them yet another navy blue/gray team (Seahawks, Cowboys). Instead, they should emphasize Columbia blue, which is unique to the NFL (Panthers and Lions may have a a case there, though), and was a major part of their history, Oilers or not.

oldschoolvikings Posted January 13, 2022 Share Posted January 13, 2022 IMO there's nothing salvageable with the Titans' current dumpster fire. They kept one of the worst elements of the old uniform (the logo) and dumped in every cheesey gimmick they could think of. They need to scrap everything, go Columbia blue heavy (helmets and jerseys), clean up all the dopey useless details and endless mix n match combos, just basically calm the f down. 11 http://dstewartpaint.blogspot.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't hate the flaming thumbtack logo. I don't necessarily like it, it's definitely not among the best NFL logos, and I'd absolutely rather see them try to come up with something better rather than just keep it around. I think it's still the best of the bad logos they've had though (I've never liked the sword T because of its warped perspective). I like the number font too, especially the thicker version on the columbia jerseys. This font the team used on social media around the time of the unveiling would have been really nice too, though: 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is one of the better Titans redesigns I've seen, which is saying something, because I think the Titans are a notoriously difficult team to create a good brand around. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
