(Andrew Nelles/The Tennessean via AP)NASHVILLE – The Tennessee Titans are heading into their 20th season with that nickname sporting a new look that wound up more of an update featuring some subtle changes.
“This is that fierce, tough, Titan look that we all wanted,” linebacker Brian Orakpo said decked out in the all-white road uniform. “I was kind of skeptical at first with the whole new uniform change and things like that because you got so accustomed to the old ones. But these, we’re going to love them. I know the rest of the guys are going to love them, too.”
The Titans unveiled the first major redesign of their uniforms in two decades Wednesday night with quite a party of a fashion show. An estimated 20,000 fans packed shoulder to shoulder over two city blocks blocked off on Nashville’s famous Honky Tonk Row for the event that was capped with a concert by popular country pop duo Florida Georgia Line and fireworks.
“Man, it was electric,” All-Pro safety Kevin Byard said. “I didn’t realize how many people were out there until I actually got on stage and it was stretching out so far back on Broadway.”
