Tennessee Titans uniform leak: Grading the new look

So the Tennessee Titans are going to have new uniforms in 2018. If you’re not sure how to feel about this, well, we’ve got the new threads graded for you.

In case you were having a case of the Mondays yesterday, apparently the Tennessee Titans are going to have new uniforms in 2018. Okay, we knew that this change of attire was coming, but yesterday saw the leaks of these new threads.

So the Titans didn’t have great uniforms to begin with, even though they incorporated red, white and blue. For better or worse, it will be a different look for Nashville’s professional football franchise in 2018. Should math not be your strong suit, we’re going to grade the jerseys for you.

Well, they sure are different. There’s not as much as the living in the past Luv Ya Blue Houston Oilers vibe to them, so that’s a positive. However, the navy base makes it look like you’re caping up for Captain America. What position do you think Chris Evans would play? Oh wait, wasn’t he that awful quarterback with Grade A sideburns in Not Another Teen Movie? That would be a yes.

The shoulder blades look like something you’d see in an All-American Bowl during the Lyndon B. Johnson Administration. Those shoulder pads would have been flying by as Forrest Gump was returning kicks for Paul “Bear” Bryant at Alabama.

While the new lettering for “Titans” looks pretty crisp, who approved the stencil for the numbering? I have never seen the No. 8 look so confused before. Is this how the sideways infinity sign looks out in Hawaii? Marcus Mariota, help a brother out.

When Coach Bill Yoast told his fine young T.C. Williams defense to not let the opposition get another yard, these jerseys were not how he wanted the Titans to be remembered. Had Kevin Dyson worn this jersey in Super Bowl XXXIV, maybe Mike Jones would have missed that tackle? Tennessee would have had a championship already and having to not put its faith in catfish tossing enthusiasts on the ice for that sort of nonsense.

Overall, this is somewhat of an improvement over the overall bad uniforms associated with the Titans. Tennessee successfully beats out the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the awesome uniforms department. To be far, that’s a very low bar to clear. But at least the Titans don’t look like a walking alarm clock. The Titans could try again, but whatever, uniforms aren’t their strong suit anyway.
