Titans Unveil Commemorative Logo

The Tennessee Titans have unveiled their new commemorative 50th anniversary logo that will be used throughout the season on uniforms, memorabilia and other promotional platforms.

The new logo, which can be seen here, contains elements from the team's current logo and from its original roots as the Houston Oilers, the franchises name prior to the 1999 season. The Oilers were one of the founding teams of the AFL.

"We wanted to incorporate both franchise logos into our 50-year logo and I am really pleased with the results,” owner K.S. “Bud” Adams said in a statement. “The past 49 seasons have brought the fans and me great joy and at times great pain, but it has been a dream come true and a lot of hard work to own a team.”

In addition to the new logo, the Titans will wear throwback uniforms from the 1960 Oilers three times this season. That will occur once at home, in a road game reportedly against the New York Jets (who will wear the old New York Titans uniforms) and in the Aug. 9 Hall of Fame Game against the Buffalo Bills.

The home game appearance of the throwback uniforms has yet to be announced, but it is suspected that it will be against the San Diego Chargers another one of the original AFL teams that are scheduled to visit LP field this season.
