About Tennessee Titans in brief
The Tennessee Titans are a professional American football team based in Nashville, Tennessee. The Titans compete in the National Football League as a member club of the American Football Conference South division. Previously known as the Houston Oilers, the team was founded by Bud Adams who owned it until his death in 2013. The team relocated from Houston to Tennessee in 1997, and played at the Liberty Bowl Memorial Stadium in Memphis for one season. They then moved to Nashville in 1998 and played in Vanderbilt Stadium. Throughout the club’s history, the Titans have played in the Super Bowl once ; the Titans lost 23–16 to the St. Louis Rams. They have had four consecutive winning seasons, the most since they were theHouston Oilers, and made the playoffs twice in that time. The uniforms consisted of white helmets, red trim, and either navy or white jerseys. From 1960 to about 1965 and from 1972 to 1974, they wore blue helmets; from 1966 to 1971, the helmets were silver; and they were white from 1975 to 1998. In a game against the Washington Redskins in 2006, theitans wore their navy jerseys with navy pants for the first time. They always wore the Titans blue jersey in their annual divisional game. In 2006, they introduced an alternate jersey in 2003 that was light and navy outside shoulders and sleeves. That jersey was usually worn with the road blue, but twice in 2007 the Titans wore the alternate jersey twice in each regular season. In November 2006, Titans introduced a light blue jersey representative of the old Houston Texans, which came mostly against a team from the old AFL’s old divisional division.
The club’s logo was an oil rig derrick. The logo was originally called \”Ol’ Riggy\”, but this was dropped before the start of the 1974 season. The team also wore their white uniforms in home games, as opposed to their blue uniforms were worn at home – in the two years as the Tennessee Oilers, they only wore their colored jerseys twice, for road games against the Miami Dolphins and a Thanksgiving Day game againstthe Dallas Cowboys. In the 1997–98 period, when they were known as the \”Tennessee Oilers\”, the team had an alternate logo that combined elements of the flag of Tennessee with the derrick logo. In the 2006 season, the club introduced a new logo: a circle with three stars, similar to that found on theflag of Tennessee, containing a large \”T\” with a trail of flames similar to a comet. They have generally worn white uniforms at home games on many occasions for many occasions to gain an advantage with heat during daytime contests on September and October seasons. For selected games in 1973 and 1974, and again from 1981 through 1984, the Oilers wore white jerseys at home. The light blue pants with both the blue and white jerseys were silver, to match the color of the helmets. From 1966 to 1974, the pants with the blue jerseys were white. The Titans wore blue pants on the road with the white jerseys from 1972 through 1994, with the exception of the 1980 season, when the team wore an all-white road combination.
