鈥淭oday is about honoring over 65 years of our organization while confidently stepping into the next chapter, and I couldn鈥檛 be more excited for our players, our city, and our fans to wear this identity with pride,鈥� owner Amy Adams Strunk said in a statement.
Cam Ward walked out in the team’s while All-Pro defensive lineman Jeffery Simmons wore the 鈥淭itans blue鈥� home jersey. Eddie George, the franchise’s career rushing leader, made the final introduction before the team’s current stars walked out.
鈥淲e built this legacy play by play, heartbreak by heartbreak, victory by victory,鈥� said George, who was part of the team’s first seven seasons in Tennessee and is now the coach at Bowling Green. 鈥淎nd now, the baton has been passed to a new generation.鈥�
This is the franchise’s third set of uniforms since unveiling the Titans name for the 1999 season.
Tennessee will wear what the team calls 鈥淭itans blue鈥� jerseys while playing in Nashville that feature 鈥淭ITANS鈥� across the chest with numbers reflecting a college design. The white road jerseys feature 鈥淭ENNESSEE鈥� across the chest for the state that’s been home since 1997. Red outlines the numbers.
of the Tennessee flag representing the Volunteer State’s three divisions will be in navy blue in a tab on the back of the uniform and on the side panel under the arm. The 6-String Stripe includes red on the pants, sleeves and helmets reflecting Nashville’s reputation as Music City.
The Titans also showed off a new primary logo called The Shield, featuring the light Titans blue, white and red along with those three stars. A secondary mark is called The Football, featuring the letters 鈥淭鈥� and 鈥淣鈥� for the state’s postal abbreviation and the city of Nashville.
Burke Nihill, the Titans’ president and CEO, said the redesign had been in the works long enough that it wasn’t tied to the team hiring Saleh in January. Nihill said Ward and Simmons loved the new uniforms at a photo shoot last week, and the color combination tapping into the Oilers’ roots was intentional.
鈥淲e had players that were literally in the locker room after games not wanting to take off the jerseys,鈥� Nihill said. 鈥淭hese are NFL players who played through high school and college and in the pros, and there was something special about the pride that they felt wearing that color scheme.鈥�
The unveiling was part of a busy week for the Titans.
A team coming off four straight losing seasons opened the NFL’s negotiating period with a big splash, to a handful of free agents. The Titans keep adding players to a roster with only 18 drafted players led by Ward and Simmons.
