  "textContent": "Above you see the fully revamped Tennessee Titans uniforms for the upcoming 2026 season and beyond. The first thing you’ll notice about these uniforms is that they look great. The second thing you’ll notice is that they’re not new at all. They’re just the old Houston Oilers uniforms, but with a lightly updated Titans decal affixed to the helmet. If you were once a fan of the Houston Oilers, or you currently cheer for the Houston Texans (don’t do that), you’re likely annoyed, if not outraged. That’s YOUR blue the Titans just yoinked away: a final middle finger hoisted up by the Adams family after relocating the Oilers from Houston 29 years ago.\n\nFor the rest of us … whoa, hey, Tennessee finally got itself a real team!\n\nIt takes a lot of effort for any NFL franchise to go nearly three decades without making a lasting impression. Even the Jets managed to do a Buttfumble somewhere in there to leave a mark. But the Tennessee Titans, by contrast, have long excelled at the art of not being seen. The only relevant season came in 1999, their first season with that name. For the two seasons prior, they were the Tennessee Oilers and played all of their home games in Memphis for one of those seasons. No one gave a shit, especially people in Memphis. Then they moved to their permanent home stadium in Nashville, formally became the Titans, and immediately went on a playoff run that started with the Music City Miracle and ended a single, infamous yard short of winning the Super Bowl.",
